Abstract
The present invention is adapted to provide a video synchronization system which can be used to synchronize the execution of a process with the content of video transmission. Such a synchronization system includes an event detection system adapted to transmit trigger signals and a process execution element adapted to receive trigger signals transmitted by the event detection system. The process execution element can trigger the execution of a process in response to the reception of a trigger signal sent by the event detection system. The video synchronization system described can be used as a graphics application system or element in addition to other forms of process execution elements or systems which can modify the content of a video transmission upon receipt of an appropriate trigger signal. Provision is also made for the incorporation or use of data signals transmitted to a process execution element, where this data can be used as an input to a process or processes being executed.
