Abstract

Even when mixing video data whose video formats are different, appropriate mix processing can be performed. Output video data is obtained by performing mix processing such as dissolve and wipe on first video data and second video data. Before performing the mix processing, a format of the first video data and the second video data is made the same as a video format handled by the mixing unit. Further, after performing the mix processing, a format of the output video data is made the same as an output video format.

Claims (33)

1. A video data processing device, comprising:

a video data input unit configured to input first video data and second video data;

a mixing unit configured to mix the first video data and the second video data based on a difference value between the first video data and the second video data and generate output video data;

a first video format conversion unit which is between the video data input unit and the mixing unit, and is configured to convert a first video format of the first video data and a second video format of the second video data into a video format handled by the mixing unit; and

a second video format conversion unit which is on an output side of the mixing unit and is configured to convert a third video format of the output video data outputted from the mixing unit into an output video format.

2. The video data processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the first video format a first number of vertical pixels is a first value and a second number of horizontal pixels is a second value,

wherein in the second video format a third number of vertical pixels is the first value and a fourth number of horizontal pixels is a third value,

wherein the mixing unit is further configured to handle one of the first video format or the second video format, and

wherein the output video format is one of the first video format or the second video format.

3. The video data processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the first value is 2160, the second value is 3840, and the third value is 4096.

4. The video data processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the video data is four-divided 4K mode video data.

5. The video data processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the mixing unit is further configured to mix the first video data and the second video data by wipe.

6. The video data processing device according to claim 5 , further comprising a control unit configured to control a transition of the wipe within a range of 3840-size based on the first video format, wherein the 3840-size has a shape of 16:9.

7. The video data processing device according to claim 5 , further comprising a control unit configured to control a transition of the wipe within a range which is one of 3840-size that has a shape of 16:9, 4096-size that has a shape of 16:9, or 4096-size that has a shape of 17:9, wherein the control unit is further configured to control the transition based on the second video format.

8. The video data processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a control unit configured to control a conversion operation on the first video data and the second video data in the first video format conversion unit based on video format information of each of the first video data and the second video data.

9. The video data processing device according to claim 8 , further comprising a detection unit configured to detect the video format information of each of the first video data and the second video data,

wherein the control unit is further configured to acquire the video format information of each of the first video data and the second video data from the detection unit.

10. The video data processing device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the video data input unit comprises a cross-point unit, wherein the cross-point unit is configured to extract the first video data and the second video data from a plurality of video data, and

wherein the control unit is further configured to acquire the video format information of each of the first video data and the second video data from a table, wherein the table comprises the video format information of each of the plurality of video data.

11. A video data processing method, comprising:

inputting first video data and second video data;

calculating a difference value between the first video data and the second video data;

converting a first format of the first video data and a second format of the second video data into a third video format,

mixing the first video data in the third video format and the second video data in the third video format based on the difference value;

generating output video data based on the mixed first video data and the second video data; and

converting a video format of the output video data same as an output video format.

12. A video data processing device, comprising:

a video data input unit configured to input first video data and second video data;

a mixing unit configured to mix the first video data and the second video data based on a difference value between the first video data and the second video data and generate output video data; and

a video format conversion unit which is between the video data input unit and the mixing unit, and is configured to convert a first video format of the first video data and a second video format of the second video data into a video format handled by the mixing unit.
