Westar Video Products
A video combiner converts analog video from two separate sources into a common, synchronized output format,
and then combines the video in one of a variety of methods, as configured by the user. The EZblend™
family of combiners provide advance functionality at a reasonable price.
Two versions are available:
EZblend™ 121 provides [1] channel of [2] inputs combined into [1] output.
EZblend™ 221 provides [2] channels of [2] inputs combined into [1] output.
The EZblend™ family supports the following common combiner techniques:
Alpha blend: two video sources are mixed per a user-defined ratio.
RGB keying: two video sources are mixed, based on the RGB content of one of the video sources. Up to [4] different levels of mixing are allowed based on If-Then-Else logic statements for RGB content.
Luma keying: two video sources are mixed, based on the calculated luma value of each RGB pixel in one of the video sources.
Windowing: A window is defined within a background region, where the window may exhibit either the foreground or a mix of foreground and background.
Split screen: a portion of the display (top or left) displays one image or a portion of an image, while the other portion (bottom or right) displays the other image, or portion of an image.
The EZblend™ family also supports the following advanced mixing techniques:
Dynamic alpha: real-time application of alpha data that is digitally encoded with one of the input video channels
Dynamic contrast: use of one of the video channels as a real-time pixel-by-pixel contrast adjustment.
Other combining techniques are possible.
