Video Combiners
Convert video from multiple inputs into a common, synchronized output, and then combines or blends video in one of a variety of methods
What is video combining?
Also called video blending or video mixing, refers to various techniques for combining independent, asynchronous video streams.
Typical video combining techniques include: alpha blend, RGB keying, HSV keying, split screens, foreground window over a background image, etc.
