SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVERGING AND DISPLAYING HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO SIGNALS

摘要

A system and method for processing and displaying a unitary image formed from the combination of a broadcast signal with a second signal with no or minimal modification, alteration or degradation of the broadcast signal. In one embodiment, the system and method processes and displays a High Definition Television (HDTV) video signal with another High Definition (HD) video and/or non-video digital media signal as one combined HD image. This convergence allows the HDTV video signal and the additional HD signal to be displayed on a monitor as a combined HD image without any modification in the appearance of the HDTV image when compared to an unprocessed HDTV image. The system and method allows an HDTV video signal to be wrapped and displayed with an additional media, such as advertising and entertainment, in a variety of display configurations. The advertising and entertainment may be selected based on various considerations to provide targeted advertising and entertainment.
