We provide a broad range of video processing box products to improve your visual system. We specialize in unique and challenging video processing tasks, including video combining, video conversion, video windowing, and video rotation. Each of these functions is summarized below:

Video Combining, also called video blending or video mixing, refers to various techniques for combining two independent, asynchronous video streams. Our video combiner solutions also allow the output timing to be completely independent of both video inputs. Typical video combining techniques include alpha blend, RGB keying, HSV keying, split screens, foreground window over a background image, etc.

Video Conversion refers to converting one video format to another. Westar video converters accept interlaced or non-interlaced video inputs, and drive interlaced or non-interlaced video outputs. Our converters use either field-to-frame, or static mesh de-interlacing techniques. Westar specializes in unique video conversion requirements, including converting user-defined areas-of interest into user-defined output formats. EZlink is a specialized data and video converter for HOTLink
® data streams.  Because these products are interconnected at the box level, we utilize industry standard DVI-I (TMDS and analog RGB) input / output.

Video Windowing refers to the placement of input video into a window within the output video's active area.  Our windowing devices support from 2 to 5 video inputs.

Video Rotation refers to rotating either a specified area of interest (AOI) within an active area, or an entire active area, in a multiple of 90 degrees. Video rotation is useful in many specialty applications, including accommodating panels, monitors, or projectors that must be turned on their side for various reasons. Our video rotator can work with our other video products to meet your specific video rotation challenge.
