Apparatus for generating video output data stream, video source, video system, and method for generating video output data stream and video source data stream

摘要

A device for generating a video output data stream has a first and a second signal input for receiving a first and a second video source data stream, a processor configured to provide the video output data stream based on the first video source data stream at a first point in time and, by means of a switching process, based on the second video source data stream at a second point in time which follows the first point in time. In addition, the device has a control signal output for transmitting a control command to a video source from which the first or second video source data stream is received. The control command has an instruction to the video source for applying a transition effect which is temporally located between an image of the first and an image of the second video source data stream in the video output signal.
