Multi-Stream Video Editing GUI for Clear Source Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video editing systems are inefficient in managing and editing multiple video streams, particularly in resource-constrained environments, requiring manual operation of matrix switchers and video editing devices, which limits user flexibility and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A video editing system that integrates a video hub and editing device, allowing automatic channel setting and user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for selecting and combining video streams, with features like thumbnails, meta information, and warning displays to manage resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple video streams are manually managed using matrix switchers and video editing devices, then video editing functionality is achieved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple video stream management functions (acquisition, display, selection, and editing) into a single integrated system. The video editing device consolidates the previously separate matrix switcher operations and video editing operations into one unified interface, allowing users to manage multiple video streams without manual switching between devices, thereby improving productivity while reducing operational complexity.
2Ease of operation
If all video streams are displayed with the same visual format, then display simplicity is maintained, but user ability to distinguish selected from unselected streams is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different display modes to different video streams based on their selection status. Specifically, the first display mode (with border and larger size) is applied to the selected video stream, while the second display mode (without border and smaller size) is applied to unselected streams. This local differentiation enhances operational clarity by making it immediately obvious which stream is active, without requiring complex overall display changes.

AI summary
This display method is a display method for generating an output video by selectively using a plurality of video streams. The display method includes acquiring the plurality of video streams from a plurality of video sources; displaying on a display an image indicating the plurality of video streams acquired; and receiving a selection by a user of a first video stream to be used for the output video among the plurality of video streams displayed, in which in the image, a display mode is different between the first video stream selected and a second video stream which is not selected by the user as a video stream to be used for the output video among the plurality of video streams.
