Abstract
A processing device for video signal includes a video buffer memory capable of storing a video signal currently being played back, a graphical interface generation module capable of generating a graphical interface to control functions of the processing device, a video mixer capable of producing a display signal for a display, the display signal representing a combination of the graphical interface originating from the generation module and of the video signal currently being played back originating from the video buffer memory, in which the graphic control elements include an image capture triggering element that can be displayed on the display in combination with the video signal currently being played back and that can be activated to trigger the step of selecting a section of the video signal currently being played back including an image displayed on the display at the time of the activation of the image capture triggering element.
