We are trying to create a setup in which simple menus from some or
another computer can be overlayed on a real-time video RGB signal (PAL)
and displayed on a TV set (menu on top of video image).  We were
thinking of using a  workstation, PC, MAC, etc.  However, we were
informed that this overlay is not all that easy, and that little
off-the-shelft material is available.  Someone told us that he saw
something at MacWorld doing real-time video manipulation on Macs.

Does anybody have more information on this?  Does anybody have
experience with overlaying text onto video?  What is commercially
available?

We would be very grateful for any help.  Please send responses by mail
to btmcrc@kulcs.
