Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a first compositor configured to receive a first guide region image signal; a second compositor configured to receive a second guide region image signal; the first compositor and the second compositor configured to receive an image region image signal; the first compositor configured to provide a first video output stream, the first video output stream being a composition of the image region image signal and the first guide region image signal; the second compositor configured to provide a second video output stream, the second video output stream being a composition of the image region image signal and the second guide region image signal; an audio delay configured to receive an audio signal and provide a delayed audio signal packet alignment with the first video output stream and the second video output stream; a data processor configured to receive an input data stream and to provide an output data stream; a first real-time video encoder configured to receive the first video output stream and a first packet identification assignment, and to provide in response thereto a first compressed video bitstream; a second real-time video encoder configured to receive the second video output stream and a second packet identification assignment, and to provide in response thereto a second compressed video bitstream; a real-time audio encoder configured to receive the delayed audio signal and to provide an encoded audio stream; a first frame isolator configured to receive the first compressed video bit steam and to isolate pictures therefrom for providing a first picture bitstream associated with the first guide region image signal and a second picture bitstream associated with the image region image signal; a second frame isolator configured to receive the second compressed video bitstream and to produce a third picture bitstream associated with second guide region image signal; a first packetizer configured to receive the first picture bitstream and to provide a first packetized stream in response; a second packetizer configured to receive the second picture bitstream and to provide a second packetized stream in response; a third packetizer configured to receive the third picture bitstream and to provide a third packetized stream in response; a fourth packetizer configured to receive the encoded audio stream and to provide a packetized audio stream in response; a fifth packetizer configured to receive the data output stream and to provide a packetized data stream in response; and a multiplexer configured to receive and multiplex the first packetized stream, the second packetized stream, the third packetized stream, the packetized audio stream and the packetized data stream to provide a transport stream.
