摘要

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for processing a source video stream of frames of images providing a first type of output format to generate a supplemental video stream, wherein the source video stream and the supplemental video stream are processed by a video processor to produce an output video stream having a second type of output format. The source video stream has a plurality of frames of digital images comprising an array of pixels in the first type of output format. The frames of the source video stream are processed by transforming color values for the pixels in the images in the frames to different color values to produce a modified video stream whose frames are merged with the corresponding frames in the source video stream to produce the supplemental video stream.
