DirectShow filter for real-time mixing of several video streams. Supports geometric transforms and transitions.

Overview

MediaLooks Video Mixer is a DirectShow filter for real-time mixing of multiple video streams originating from different video sources – such as digital video cameras, webcams, TV tuner cards or video capture boards. (For audio mixing please see our Audio Mixer DirectShow filter).

This filter is also cabable of chroma keying when it is bundled with the Chroma Key DirectShow Filter.
