Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video mixers lack user operability when setting output videos for multiple output terminals simultaneously, as only one display is provided for setting output videos, hindering the ability to set one output video while viewing others.

Innovation Solution

A video processing device with separate display regions for setting composite videos output to different devices, allowing users to independently manage and view settings for each output destination using multiple display devices and processors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If only one display is provided for setting output videos, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user operability deteriorates when setting output videos for multiple output terminals simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser operabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The single display is segmented into multiple display regions, where each region is dedicated to displaying and setting output videos for specific output terminals. This allows users to simultaneously view and adjust settings for multiple output terminals without requiring multiple physical displays, thus improving operability while avoiding increased device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If multiple display devices are used to display settings for multiple output terminals, then the user operability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser operabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The single display device is made multi-functional by dividing it into multiple display regions, each serving different output terminal settings simultaneously. This allows one display device to perform the function of multiple displays, improving user operability for managing multiple output terminals without increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A video processing device is provided. The video processing device outputs a composite video, wherein the composite video is a video in which a plurality of media data are disposed, the media data is formed by an image and/or a video, the video processing device comprises: a first output device, outputting the composite video; a second output device, outputting a composite video different from the composite video output by the first output device; at least one processor; and at least one display device, having a first display region and a second display region different from the first display region, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: perform display for setting the composite video output by the first output device in the first display region, and perform display for setting the composite video output by the second output device in the second display region.
