+ * SECTION:element-videomixer
+ * @short_description: Takes several AYUV video streams as input and mixes them
+ * together.
+ *
+ * <refsect2>
+ * <para>
+ * Videomixer can only accept AYUV video streams. For each of the requested
+ * sink pads it will compare the incoming geometry and framerate to define the
+ * output parameters. Indeed output video frames will have the geometry of the
+ * biggest incoming video stream and the framerate of the fastest incoming one.
+ * </para>
+ * <title>Sample pipelines</title>
+ * <para>
+ * Here is a pipeline to demonstrate videomixer used together with videobox :
+ * <programlisting>
+ * gst-launch videotestsrc pattern=1 ! video/x-raw-yuv, framerate=\(fraction\)10/1, width=100, height=100 ! videobox border-alpha=0 alpha=0.5 top=-70 bottom=-70 right=-220 ! videomixer name=mix ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink videotestsrc ! video/x-raw-yuv, framerate=\(fraction\)5/1, width=320, height=240 ! alpha alpha=0.7 ! mix.
+ * </programlisting>
+ * This should show a 320x240 pixels video test source with some transparency
+ * showing the background checker pattern. Another video test source with just
+ * the snow pattern of 100x100 pixels is overlayed on top of the first one on
+ * the left vertically centered with a small transparency showing the first
+ * video test source behind and the checker pattern under it. Note that the
+ * framerate of the output video is 10 frames per second.
+ * </para>
