Abstract:
1. A method of displaying input data content that includes video data placed in a video plane and overlay data placed in an overlay plane, said method: splitting a single input stream into a video stream defining the video plane and a separate overlay stream defining the overlay plane, calculating the position of the video plane and the overlay plane in a display screen, calculating at least a first shift value for shifting the overlay plane with respect to the video plane, calculating at least a second shift value for shifting the video plane with respect to the overlay plane, shifting the overlay plane with respect to the video plane in accordance with the at least first shift value while maintaining the original dimensions of the overlay plane, shifting the video plane with respect to the overlay plane in accordance with the at least second shift value while maintaining the original dimensions of the video plane, mixing the shifted video plane and overlay plane for generating an output data content, displaying said output data content, and wherein a user interacts with interactive means to manually input shift instructions from which said interactive means generates a corresponding shift value to shift the video plane with respect to the overlay plane.
