20090256835VIDEO MULTIVIEWER SYSTEM FOR GENERATING VIDEO DATA BASED UPON MULTIPLE VIDEO INPUTS WITH ADDED GRAPHIC CONTENT AND RELATED METHODS - A video multiviewer system may include a plurality of video inputs and a multiviewer video processor coupled to the plurality of video inputs. The multiviewer video processor may include a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU) cooperating therewith for generating video data based upon the plurality of video inputs and with added graphic content. The video multiviewer system may further include a display coupled to the multiviewer processor for displaying multiple video windows based upon the video data.10-15-2009
20090256859VIDEO MULTIVIEWER SYSTEM WITH SWITCHER AND DISTRIBUTED SCALING AND RELATED METHODS - A video multiviewer system may include a plurality of video scalers operating in parallel for generating initially scaled video streams by performing video scaling in at least one dimension on a plurality of video input streams. The video multiviewer system may also include at least one video cross-point switcher coupled downstream from the video scalers, and a processing unit coupled downstream from the video cross-point switcher for generating additionally scaled video streams by performing additional video scaling on the initially scaled video streams. The video multiviewer system may also include a display cooperating with the processing unit for displaying multiple video windows based upon the additionally scaled video streams.10-15-2009
20090256862VIDEO MULTIVIEWER SYSTEM WITH DISTRIBUTED SCALING AND RELATED METHODS - A video multiviewer system may include a plurality of video scalers operating in parallel for generating initially scaled video streams by performing video scaling in at least one dimension on a plurality of video input streams. The video multiviewer system may also include a processing unit coupled downstream from the video scalers for generating additionally scaled video streams by performing additional video scaling on the initially scaled video streams, and a display cooperating with the processing unit for displaying multiple video windows based upon the additionally scaled video streams.10-15-2009
20090256965VIDEO MULTIVIEWER SYSTEM PERMITTING SCROLLING OF MULTIPLE VIDEO WINDOWS AND RELATED METHODS - A video multiviewer system may include a plurality of video inputs and a multiviewer video processor coupled to the plurality of video inputs for generating video data based upon the plurality of video inputs. The system may further include a display coupled to the multiviewer video processor for displaying multiple video windows based upon the video data, and at least one user input device. The multiviewer video processor may permit scrolling among the multiple video windows displayed on the display at a given instant and at least one other video window not displayed on the display at the given instant based upon the at least one user input device.10-15-2009
