System and method for generating composite video images for karaoke applications

摘要

A system and method for generating a video image for display during a Karaoke performance allows the image of a singer to be displayed together with the words and/or associated graphics of a song being performed. The video image of the text and/or graphics associated with the song is read from a CD+G disk or similar Karaoke media. The text/graphics for the song is then downscaled and relocated to a selected area of the output video image, such as the lower portion of the screen. The modified text/graphics image and the singer's image are then used to form a composite output video image for display on a video monitor.
