Patent ID: 6982763

Claim:
A system for converting video standards comprising: a first input module receiving first analog video signal from a first video source and converting the first analog video signal to a digital video signal, wherein the first input module converts the first analog video signal from a standard of the first video source to a bus standard; a second input module receiving second analog video signal from a second video source and converting the second analog video signal to a digital video signal, wherein the second input module converts the second analog video signal from a standard of the second video source to the bus standard; a bus attached to outputs of the first and second input modules; an input selection and control device (ISC) for selecting at least one of the first and second input modules to drive the bus; first and second output modules attached to an output of the bus; a first video device attached to the first output module; and wherein the first output module converts a digital video signal from the bus standard to a standard of the first video device.
