Abstract
The present invention relates to multi-media products and, in particular, discloses a device (1) which permits both audio and video editing, storage, production and reproduction as well as a computer interface. The device (1) comprises video means (54-59) for receiving input video signals (51,52) and editing and/or augmenting same for output as video output signals (60,61); audio means (83-85) including means for receiving an audio signal (82) and outputing (86,87) same; a host processor means (63) interconnecting said audio and video means (83-85,54-59) together via interfaces (68,69) enabling connection of the device (1) for data input and output; and real-time object processor means (70) adapted for generating alterable animation for display via a video output and/or in combination with said input video signals (51,52).
Claims14
A multi-media device comprising:
- video means having at least one video input for receiving at least one input video signal and for selectively augmenting said input video signal for output as an output video signal via a video output;
- audio means including means for receiving at least one input audio signal and for outputting at least one output audio signal;
- host processor means interconnecting said audio means and said video means via interfaces enabling connection of said multi-media device for data input and output;
- and
- real-time object processor means connected to said host processor means for generating alterable animation image data from object based graphic data supplied from said host processor means in real-time for display via said video output in combination with said input video signal without using a frame buffer.
