Abstract
A shaped video having an input key control signal associated therewith is processed by carrying out a first operation on the input key control signal to provide a first processed signal, carrying out a second operation on the first processed signal to provide a second processed signal, and combining the shaped video signal and the second processed signal to provide an output video signal. One of the first and second operations comprises translation. In this manner, a simulated shadow is added to the shaped video signal.
