    ENERAL OVERVIEW Video Overlay is a method by which computer-generated images are superimposed on video. Properly transformed images appear as if they are an integral part of the scene without impeding the video of the actual environment. The primary purpose of PROTEUS is to provide the ability to insert text, logos and GPS data. Numerous apps have been developed to enhance this product.
