Abstract
A video processing system (100) comprises at least one controller (102) configured to receive a plurality of video data from a respective plurality of video data sources (106, 208). The system can assign one of a plurality of hierarchical display layers to each of the plurality of video data, and generate an output video for display, the output video comprising at least a portion of each of the plurality of video data layered according to the assigned hierarchical display layers. The plurality of hierarchical display layers is based on a respective plurality of safety/security levels defined in a safety/security standard.
Claims17
A video processing system comprising at least one controller configured to:
- receive a plurality of video data inputs from a respective plurality of video data sources;
- obtain video display control data from a first CPU that is distinct from the video data sources, said video display control data comprising information describing how a plurality of hierarchical display layers are to be assigned to the plurality of video data sources, said video control data further comprising manipulation instructions for each of the plurality of hierarchical display layers;
- assign one of the plurality of hierarchical display layers to each of the plurality of video data inputs at least in part according to the video display control data;
- and
- generate an output video for display, the output video comprising at least a portion of each of the plurality of video data inputs layered according to the assigned hierarchical display layers and manipulated according to the manipulation instructions;
- wherein the plurality of hierarchical display layers is based on a respective plurality of safety/security levels defined in a safety/security standard.
A video processing method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of video data inputs from a respective plurality of video data sources;
- assigning one of a plurality of hierarchical display layers to each of the plurality of video data inputs, and
- generating an output video for display, the output video comprising at least a portion of each of the plurality of video data inputs layered according to the assigned hierarchical display layers,
- wherein the plurality of hierarchical display layers is based on a respective plurality of safety/security levels defined in a safety/security standard.
