Abstract
A method and system to automatically align overlaying video data on a computer screen based on input information of R or G or B data, horizontal synchronization signal data (Hsync) and vertical synchronization signal data (Vsync) automatically reconstructs a pixel clock time base of an offboard underlying graphics source for use in aligning overlaid video using a generated vertical pixel pattern. The system and method also automatically detects a size of an active computer screen region and position of a top left hand corner and a bottom right hand corner of the active computer screen region to align overlaying video using the reconstructed pixel clock time base and a single color block pattern.
