Abstract:
1. A method of processing one or more input sources comprising: receiving, one or more frames to be combined into a composite result frame, each of the one or more frames corresponding to one of said or more input sources; performing, for each of the one or more frames using doe executing on a computer system, processing to mathematically combine desired video effects to be applied to said each frame for a current frame time; determining, for said each frame in accordance with said performing, a set of control settings including scaling and positioning settings associated with said each frame; determining another set of control settings used to combine one or more transformed frames; processing each of said one or more frames to generate a corresponding one of the one or more transformed frames in accordance with the set of control settings associated with said each frame; and combining the one or more transformed frames into the composite result frame in accordance with said another set of control settings, said composite result frame including each of the one or more transformed frames therein scaled and positioned in accordance with scaling and positioning settings included in the set of control settings associated with a first of said one or more frames used to generate said each transformed frame.
