Abstract
A video effects system comprises a graphics generator for generating a three-dimensional image in simulated real time, a digital video effects device for generating a second image and transforming the second image in real time, and a depth combiner for combining the three-dimensional image with the transformed second image to produce an output image that is the intersection of the three-dimensional image and the transformed second image.

8. A method for carrying out a video effect, comprising:
-
generating in real simulated time a first video signal representative of a three-dimensional image and a first depth signal associated therewith, generating in real time a second video signal representative of a two-dimensional image, transforming the second video signal in real time and generating a second depth signal, and `combining the first video signal with the transformed second video signal on the basis of the first and second depth signals. - View Dependent Claims (9)
