PAL mixers would indeed have been easier than component.

As an intermediate solution, you had SECAM mixers (here Thomson TTV
5000):

(thanks to "video-33" for providing the link on a forum)

The dimensions are 430 x 399 x 177 mm. The text mentions the presence of
a handle to carry it easily. So this item at least did not occupy the
better part of a room. But i don't know when it was available for the
first time (one can see it already contains integrated circuits).
