live picture overlay

I want to overlay a logo in the bottom left corner of a live feed on projections

These will be fed from a mixer to the pc then on to the projector via vga

anyone know any software capable of doing this?

 

If you're using a vision mixer, a lot of vision mixers offer basic chroma/luma key like that. Wouldn't be too hard to do in hardware (and more often than not preferable to software).

The snag doing this way for lve work is that it's yet another delay - if it's digital then the codec delay is going to be annoying, and if it's analogue then it's a quality issue. I reckon adding it at mix stage is most simple - assuming your mixer can do it. If it can't, perhaps you have a budget issue?

 

I've had to do this once by cascading two digital mixers, and the delay was very annoying. I needed to be able to insert a source as a pip, but have it move live, which the main mixer couldn't do. Linking the output to the second input looked good - but made any camera moves very disturbing for the cameraman when they saw the projected image move out of the corner of their eye.
