CHROMA-KEY TRACKING DIGITAL VIDEO EFFECTS SYSTEM

摘要

A chroma-key tracking system for electronically compressing a television picture to predetermined dimensions and for moving the compressed picture to a specified area on the television screen where the compressed picture is inserted into a second picture present on the screen. The invention advantageously monitors the aspect ratio (the ratio of width to height of a picture frame) of the compressed picture and ensures that the compressed and inserted picture maintains a prescribed standard aspect ratio.
