I'm not saying this is the most practical or affordable solution compared to a more specialized product, but if you definitely want a hardware solution, I do know (depending on your HDMI spec requirements) this would be achievable with any FPGA dev board that has HDMI In/Out. I can't say I've worked on this exact solution, but I did some basic development with a Xilinx (Z7?) board years ago that involved overlaying and modifying an incoming HDMI signal. What you're looking for should be achievable by the same means assuming there's no signal issues I'm failing to account for.

Love digging around projects like JOS. I had never heard of it before, and there really doesn't seem like much else online about it beyond the info that can be found from that link. There's always something melancholy about retroactively watching the activity of a project like JOS have such a swarm of activity and then just quietly and unceremoniously dying off.

From all the attempts I've seen in the past few years, we haven't been able to get AI to successfully complete a lap of wheel to wheel racing at full speed on a real track[1], I'm not sure if they're exactly competing for a seat as a pay driver at Haas let alone racing for Red Bull anytime soon.
