Abstract
A method for producing a frame around a video image includes the step of placing subframes around a base frame. The subframes have an offset with respect to the base frame, in order to generate a plastic impression of the frame. The base frame and the subframes are produced from the same frame signal. A device for producing such a frame is also provided. The method and the device are in particular used in picture-in-picture systems.
