Video apparatus with image forming means responsive to touch sensitive display

A video apparatus, comprising:

• a display device;
• video signal input means;
• position detection means disposed on a display screen of said display device for detecting a pressed position on said display screen;
• image data forming means;
• superimposing means connected to said display device, said image data forming means, and to said video signal input means for superimposing operation key screen data on a video signal for display on said display device and for superimposing the image data formed by said image data forming means on the video signal for display on said display device at a position corresponding to the pressed position detected by said position detection means;
• and
• operation signal generation means connected to said position detection means for generating an operation signal when the pressed position detected by said position detection means corresponds to an operation key displayed on the display device.
