Multiple Video Inputs And Outputs 
This system is featured with one VGA input, one composite RCA input and one S-Video input for the background source. 

The overlay outputs are simultaneously available through its RCA video out and S-Video out at the same time with no lags. 

The VGA input and VGA out of this overlay processor creates the VGA loop-through so users can have the computer screen displayed simultaneously on both VGA monitor and TV set at the same time for monitoring.

Multiple Video Processing Modes
This video overlay system offers numerous features and operation modes, which can be used in conjunction with the included software.

The are 4 selectable operation modes available from the on-screen menu:


Differences between Mixer and Overlay modes. Mixer mode shows both the whole computer input screen together with the composite video input while the computer VGA signal or composite video signal will look semi-transparent and overlap with the other video screen. 

Advanced Chroma Color Keying
Chroma key backgrounds are popular in digital video production and editing. It is a technique used for combining two images/frames together in which a color from one image is removed or made transparent, revealing another image behind it.

It is a great way to add special visual effect to the video footage and widely used in film and video production to combine multiple images into a single image stream. Typical example is like having a news reporter standing in front of a green or blue screen as foreground and then overlaying the footage of a news reporter over a computer-generated animated map or weather-radar scene in the background.

Dual Overlay Process
The overlay mode of this unit will help users remove the mono tone color from the backdrop of a computer source or video source input. There are two ways of color keying used in overlay mode. One is PC key used for chroma effect on VGA input and the other CV key is used for chroma keying on the analog video input source.

Overlay mode with PC key selected will remove all the mono color background from the editor screen of the caption software on a PC and displays the remains on top of the video image in solid color (non transparent). 

So if you have text or images over a blue/green/red/black background, the only portion to be shown on top of the video will be the text or image part. Visually the text message or computer graphics are superimposed onto the video.

When the CV key (video key) is selected in overlay mode, this unit will remove the selected blue/green/blue/red color background from the selected RCA or S-Video input and displays the remains on top of the computer VGA input. 

So if the video input is from camera with a teacher or instructor standing in front of a green backdrop, the green color background will be keyed away when the unit is set for CV key, resulting in showing only the footage of teacher/instructor on top of a computer-generated data sheet. 

The final composite video output will show teacher/instructor standing in front of the spread sheet screen or whatever the computer screen as the background.

PC VGA-Based Chroma Keying
This equipment can help overlay the computer-generated texts/titles/captions, graphics, photo images, logos, banners with external video feed from media sources like video camera, camcorder, DVD player, 

Users will need to install the caption software on a PC first. Text arrangement such as text color, font style, cursor positioning, and the background color can be all controlled and arranged through the editor screen of the supplied caption software. 

Graphic images (such a logos or icon image) can also be imported to the caption editor screen of a PC to create on-screen sprites. Still images or animated icons in gif format can all be added to an incoming video source or a self-generated color background.

Other controls include showing/hiding the text, showing/hiding picture images, showing/hiding the caption area and showing/hiding the clock on the page. 

This caption software also provides users with great flexibility to arrange text titles or messages in rolling or static style for advertisement to appear on videos. Text scrolling can be in either horizontal or vertical styles as the following screens showing:

Easy Caption Software Operation
The captioning software provides easy subtitling with comprehensive selection of font styles, font colors, graphics and backgrounds. Users can use this software for achieving the following tasks:

Also a perfect tool for DIY Karaoke content by creating special visual effects like Icons, pictures, graphics, titles, subtitles, lyrics, deception, time clock, date, etc to the music video for private video production.

Adjustable Color Keying Levels
Users can toggle through selection of different chroma color key effects to calibrate a chroma key effect. The unit's tolerance for error in the color keying can be adjusted manually. There are various intensity levels of color keying effect from the on-screen system menu for users to control and adjust color keying effect and achieve the best results desired.

RS-232 Console Control Port
Like most of the professional model, this video overlay processor can be controlled via the RS232 serial port commands, which allows this unit to be more easily integrated with other console control systems and long distance control basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming.

The RS232 serial port adapter cable is included in the standard package for console system integration.
