Abstract: A method, an apparatus and an electronic device for processing a subtitle beyond scope are provided. In the method, size information of a display device of a terminal is acquired, where the size information indicates a size of the display device. A secure zone is established according to the size information, where the secure zone has a size less than or equal to the size of the display device. A video frame is selected from video images in response to playing the video images by the terminal. A composite frame is generated using parts of the video frame that are beyond the secure zone. It is judged whether the composite frame contains text. It is determined that a subtitle in the video images is beyond scope if the composite frame contains text.

Abstract: A system for the production of video signals includes a playback device for playing back prerecorded video and audio signals from a prerecorded storage medium, a source of user supplied video and audio signals, a video and audio mixer for combining the prerecorded and user supplied signals to provide combined video and audio outputs, a production monitor connected to the mixer to display to the user the mixed signals, and a storage or reproduction device receiving a mixed video signal output from the mixer. The prerecorded storage medium, wherein the prerecorded storage medium stores, as well as a video channel and at least one audio channel, at least one prompting channel, the video signals stored on the prerecorded medium being prekeyed to indicate areas to be overlaid in the mixer by the user supplied video signals, and the mixer being operative to convert signals from the prompting channel into production control signals.
