1. A system comprising:
a first panel comprising a first array of light emitters, the first panel configured for emitting a first light at a first resolution, the first light comprising a first color;
a second panel comprising a second array of light emitters, the second panel configured for emitting a second light at a second resolution, the second light comprising a second color different than the first color;
a third panel comprising a third array of light emitters, the third panel configured for emitting a third light at a third resolution, the third light comprising a third color different than the first color and the second color; and
a combiner configured to combine the first light, the second light, and the third light; and
one or more processors configured to perform a method comprising:
receiving video data,
generating first down-sampled video data based on the received video data, the first down-sampled video data associated with the first color,
generating second down-sampled video data based on the received video data, the second down-sampled video data associated with the third color, and
driving the first panel, the second panel, and the third panel, wherein:
the first light emitted by the first panel is based on the first down-sampled video data, and
the third light emitted by the third panel is based on the second down-sampled video data.
