EZblend 121
Two Input Video Combiner
The EZblend™ 121 video combiner converts video from two separate asynchronous sources into a common, synchronized output format, and then combines the video or blends video in one of a variety of methods. Each EZblend™ 121 input channel can accept video in one of many formats, including: DVI-I (TMDS and analog RGB), RS-343, RS-170, STANAG, and NTSC/PAL (Option).

Video Combining Capabilities
Alpha blend
Two video sources are mixed per a user defined ratio. This is the most common video blending technique.
RGB keying
Two video sources are mixed, based on RGB content of one of the video sources. Allows Up to (4) different levels of mixing based on If-Then-Else logic statements for RGB content.
HSV keying
Two video sources are mixed, based on the calculated HSV value of each RGB pixel in one of the video sources.
Stereo mixing
Two video sources are synchronized, and then output as alternating fields. This is used for creating active stereo outputs from separate left and right sources. The output is synchronized to one of the inputs. 120 Hz operation is possible, at up to 165 MPixel/sec.
Windowing
A window is defined within a background region, where the window may exhibit either the foreground or a mix of foreground and background.
Split screen
A portion of the display (top or left) displays one image or a portion of an image, while the other portion (bottom or right) displays the other image, or portion of an image.
Dynamic alpha
Real-time application of alpha data that is digitally encoded with one of the input video channels.
Dynamic contrast
Use of one of the video channels as a real-time pixel-by-pixel contrast adjustment.
