Techniques are described for performing aspect ratio transformation. Frames of image data from each of one or more input sources are received. A first set of one or more options, including an input aspect ratio, is associated with a first input source. A set of control parameters is determined for each frame from the first input source in accordance with said first input aspect ratio and an output aspect ratio. Each frame from the first input source is processed in accordance with the control parameters for that frame. The processing includes processing a first image from said first input source having said first input aspect ratio to generate a second image having the output aspect ratio. The processing includes converting the first image having the input aspect ratio to the second image having the output aspect ratio if the first input aspect ratio is different from the output aspect ratio.

Integrated live video production system

Techniques are described for processing one or more input sources. One or more frames are received which are to be combined into a composite result frame. Each of the one or more frames corresponds to one of the input sources. For each of the one or more frames, processing is performed to mathematically combine desired video effects to be applied to each frame for a current frame time. For each frame, a set of control settings including scaling and positioning settings is determined. Another set of control settings used to combine one or more transformed frames is determined. Each of the one or more frames is processed to generate a corresponding one of the transformed frames in accordance with the set of control settings associated with each frame. The one or more transformed frames are combined into the composite result frame in accordance with the other set of control settings.
