Abstract: A real-time video signal-processing system (the Picot system) has been developed that is composed of several hundred processors. It can handle a number of color time-varying images and includes such image-processing functions as edge detection, geometrical transformation, and video synthesis at video rate. Two large-scale integrations (LSIs) made with CMOS gate-array technology were also developed to make the system compact. A practical system that can be used as a video switcher is already in use in the video production center of NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corp.), and its effectiveness has been confirmed. Because of the flexibility of this system, many new video effects are being created by engineers in the production center.
