Patent ID: 7827488

Claim:
A system for processing a video input signal having an associated original video image, the system comprising: a processing subsystem; addressable storage comprised of wire-frame memory providing storage of user image content utilized in generating a display of the original video image, a processor instruction memory, and a secondary image memory providing storage of program content utilized in generating a display of a predefined presentation; wherein the processing subsystem is responsive to the processor instruction memory for generating orientation signals responsive to the predefined presentation; wherein the processing subsystem is responsive to the processor instruction memory for generating a wire-frame geometry signal responsive to the orientation signals and to the wire-frame memory; an encoder, responsive to the program content, for generating encoder signals; wherein the processing subsystem is responsive to the processor instruction memory for selecting respective ones of the encoder signals as a masked area of selected encoder signals; a wire-frame compositing apparatus responsive to the selected encoder signals and the wire-frame memory and the orientation signals to generate a composited wire-frame signal; and a blender responsive to the video input signal and the composited wire-frame signal for generating a final composited video signal comprising the original video image with proper orientation mapped as a part of the display of the predefined presentation.
