Abstract: An information handling apparatus for transferring and composing image signals for display including a bus interface circuit adapted to allow selective access to a bus of an independent image signal generated by an independent image source. The selective access enables composition of the independent image signal in response to control information; the composition enables real time display of a composed image signal.

Abstract: BC9-90-036 ABSTACT OF THE DISCLOSURE MEDIA CONTROL MODULE FOR A MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM An information handling apparatus for transferring and composing image signals for display. The apparatus including a media control module which provides control information to a bus. The control information controls selective access to the bus of multiple image signals generated by respective image sources. The selective access enables composition of the image signals in response to the control information. The media control module receives a composed image from the bus and provides the composed image to a display device in real time.
