Video switcher and touch router system for a gaming machine
First Claim
1. A gaming system for presenting both game play video signals and secondary video signals on a single display, the gaming system comprising:
- a touch screen game display that displays video signals, the touch screen game display in communication with a touch router device;
a gaming controller that generates a game play video signal;
a secondary controller that generates a second video signal;
a display manager including a scaler chip in communication with the gaming controller, the secondary controller, and the touch screen game display, wherein the display manager receives the game play video signal from the gaming controller and the second video signal from the secondary controller, and wherein the scaler chip of the display manager scales or shifts at least one of the first video signal and the second video signal to an altered size, enabling the first video signal from the gaming controller to be rendered with the second video signal from the secondary controller; and
a coordinate transformation calculation device that receives coordinates from an input on the touch screen game display and accommodates any scaling or shifting performed on at least one of the first video signal and the second video signal to determine transformed coordinates corresponding to the altered size of the rendered video signals.

Abstract
A gaming system is disclosed for presenting both game content and secondary content on a single display. The gaming system includes: a touch screen game display configured to display content, a gaming controller configured to generate game content, and a secondary controller configured to generate secondary content. The display manager scales at least one of the game content and the secondary content to an altered size, enabling the game content from the gaming controller to be rendered with the secondary content from the secondary controller on the touch screen game display. The gaming system also includes a coordinate transformation calculation device that receives coordinates from an input on the touch screen game display and accommodates any scaling or shifting performed on at least one of the game content and the secondary content to determine transformed coordinates corresponding to the altered size of the rendered content.
