Abstract
A system and method for processing overlapping video and/or graphics images. The system comprises a first image processing system for processing a first image in a first window; a second image processing system for processing a second image in a second window, wherein the second window overlaps a portion of the first window; a window controller that calculates a set of coordinates for the second window; and a process control system that determines a set of pixels not to process in the overlapped portion of the first window based on the area defined by the calculated set of coordinates less any identified required hidden pixels.
