I want to overlay the graphics output of a computer onto a video image of the real world, to implement a cursor. This means that I have to sync the camera to the computer's video, which is reasonably easy to do. But once I have the two signals, I have to combine. Someone suggested that "keying" was the route. This involves switching between the two signals, depending on the level of one of them. Unfortunately, this seems to be very expensive. Is it possible to simply add the two signals through appropriate resistors? Or are there chips available suitable for building a simple keyer? Any hints, suggestions, or suppliers would be much appreciated. David Drascic UUCP: drascic@ecf.toronto.edu OR drascic@utecfb
