Patent ID: 8537201

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: an interface to receive a plurality of video data streams, a dimensionality of each video stream being either two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D); and a processing module to process a first video data stream of the plurality of video streams as a main video image and a second video data stream of the plurality of data streams as a video sub-image, the processing module including a video combiner to combine the main video data stream and the sub-video data stream to generate a combined video output; wherein a dimensionality of the first video data stream is 3D and a dimensionality of the second video data stream is 2D, and wherein the processing module is configured to modify the 2D dimensionality of the video sub-image to 3D to match the 3D dimensionality of the main video image; wherein conversion of the second video stream from 2D to 3D includes copying each frame of data of the second video data stream into a left channel region and a right channel region and adjusting an apparent depth for a viewer between the video sub-image and a display frame by modifying a difference between a position of the frame of the second video data stream in the left channel region and a position of the frame of the second video data stream in the right region.
