Integrated video processing circuit and method for providing a displayed visual user interface for the display, selection and setup of video input sources

摘要

An integrated video processing circuit (VPC) and method for providing a displayed visual user interface for the display, selection and setup of video input sources on a shared display. A VPC processes video from two or more video input sources, where some subset of the two or more video input sources receive video from a respective device. The VPC creates on the display a visual user interface consisting of live or interval-updated video providing simultaneously (e.g., in a mosaic of windows) a visual indication of the status of some or all of the video input sources. The VPC allows for the easy selection and setup of the respective devices via the user interface on the display and an input device (e.g., a remote control device).
