1. A system for converting video standards comprising:
a first input module receiving first analog video signal from a first video source and converting the first analog video signal
to a digital video signal, wherein the first input module converts the first analog video signal from a standard of the first
video source to a bus standard;
a second input module receiving second analog video signal from a second video source and converting the second analog video
signal to a digital video signal, wherein the second input module converts the second analog video signal from a standard
of the second video source to the bus standard;
a bus attached to outputs of the first and second input modules;
an input selection and control device (ISC) for selecting at least one of the first and second input modules to drive the
bus;
first and second output modules attached to an output of the bus;
a first video device attached to the first output module; and
wherein the first output module converts a digital video signal from the bus standard to a standard of the first video device.
