Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily execute complex superposing processing by outputting a RGB brightness signal outputted from any one of image superposing circuits and the synchronous signal of a reference video signal as a monitoring video signal. CONSTITUTION:The RGB brightness signals from respective video superposing circuit 9 to 11 are connected like chains by superposing order switching circuit 5 and images applied as a 2nd video signals of respective circuits 9 to 11 are successively superposed on the reference video. Since the synchronous signals of a 1st video signals from all the image superposing circuits 9 to 11 are used in common for the synchronous signal of the reference video signal, the priority order of superposition can be changed only by switching the correction order of the RGB brightness signals. Consequently other plural images can be successively superposed on the reference video and the order of superposition can easily be changed.
