Patent number: 6377282Abstract: In a video conferencing system, a video overlay system (160) generates a motion video signal (MV). The motion video signal incorporates an image received from a remote video conferencing system (110.2) and from a local camera (186). The video overlay system also receives a computer video signal (CV) from a local computer (140). A summing amplifier (310) in the video overlay system generates an output signal (SV) representative of the sum of the computer video signal and the motion video signal. The output signal (SV) is provided to a monitor (174) when motion video is to be displayed. Use of the summing amplifier allows a cursor (240) generated by the computer to be inserted into the motion video on the monitor screen.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1999Date of Patent: April 23, 2002Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.Inventor: Mark A.

Patent number: 6292225Abstract: A precision horizontal positioning (PHP) system for precisely positioning two overlaid video images includes a phase-locked loop, a frame controller, and a delay circuit. The precision horizontal positioning system adjusts the phase of a second video signal until the start of active video of the second video signal coincides with the start of active video of a first video signal. The delay circuit is incorporated in the feedback path of the horizontal synchronization signal of the second video signal such that the second video signal is pushed forward in time to align horizontally with the first video signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 1999Date of Patent: September 18, 2001Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Mark A.
