A method for a content provider to manage broadcast content including selecting content to be broadcast, determining a category of the selected content, tagging the selected content and transmitting the tagged selected content to a content aggregator for broadcasting. Also described is a method for a content aggregator to broadcast content including receiving selected content from a content provider, determining when to broadcast the selected content and determining whether to broadcast any part of the selected content prior to a schedule time and broadcasting the selected content responsive to the determining step.

A video apparatus (100) such as a television signal receiver enables a video display that readily indicates the detected degree of a video attribute such as motion and/or other video attribute present in the video display. According to an exemplary embodiment, the video apparatus (100) includes first circuitry (30, 40, 70) operative to receive video data. Second circuitry (40) is operative to enable a video display corresponding to the video data. The video display includes first and second video attributes. The first video attribute varies in proportion to a detected degree of the second video attribute.

An ACC system includes a controllable amplifier having an input coupled to receive a chroma input signal and an output for providing an chroma output signal of controllable amplitude. A first feedback path, including a cascade connection of means for providing a signal representative of a measured burst amplitude, means for providing an error signal representative of the difference between a desired burst amplitude and the measured burst amplitude, and an integrator, is coupled between the output of the controllable amplifier and a gain control input of the controllable amplifier. A second feedback path, coupled from an output of the integrator to an input thereof, reduces the gain of the amplifier means in a controlled manner for values of a burst component of the chroma input signal below a predetermined threshold value provided by a control signal source, the reduction being at a predetermined rate controlled by a scaling signal device, thereby providing an output system response characteristic having a precisely controllable knee and slope below a predetermined amplitude of a burst component of the chroma input signal.

The methodologies, systems and teachings disclosed herein can be embodied in gateway device that is capable of monitoring content accessed through the gateway device. Captures of screen content of the content accessed are obtained and a log of the content accessed is generated from the captured screen content. The log can then be displayed to a user who can use a remote control to navigate through the log to view the captured screen content at different instances of time.

A system (400) such as an audio and/or video system includes a multiplexed analog-to-digital converter ('ADC') arrangement (500). The arrangement (500) includes an ADC (530) for converting first and second analog signals to first and second digital signals, respectively, and for outputting the first digital signal during a first time interval and outputting the second digital signal during a second time interval. A digital filter (550) is provided for filtering the first and second digital signals to generate first and second filtered signals, respectively, and for outputting the first and second filtered signals in a time-aligned manner during a third time interval.

A digital and analog television signal digitization and processing device that performs the digitization and processing functions using a common reference frequency source that is used to generate multiple subclock signals, wherein the reference frequency source is independent of any synchronizing characteristic of the input signal. For dual channel analog signal processing, the common frequency source is not locked to either channel/input signal. Digital signal processing is accomplished based on the same common reference frequency source. Advantageously, the present invention allows all of the analog-to-digital converters and decoder circuitry/logic necessary for simultaneously digitizing and processing several analog and digital television signals to be integrated on a single integrated circuit as well as eliminating duplicate frequency generation circuits.

A digital video system includes a sample rate converter and an inverse-sample rate converter. The sample rate converter converts video data from a non-orthogonal pixel domain to an orthogonal pixel domain. The inverse-sample rate converter converts the video data from the orthogonal pixel domain to the non-orthogonal pixel domain. The inverse sample rate converter utilizes a timing signal generated by the sample rate converter when converting the video data from the orthogonal pixel domain to the non-orthogonal pixel domain.

Embodiments of the invention provide a circuit for peaking video signals to be provided to a dynamic range limiter for displaying images on a display device. The circuit comprises a peaking filter including a filter input configured to receive a video signal. A first filter output provides a peaking signal for the video signal. A second filter output provides a peaked video signal based upon the peaking signal. The circuit further comprises a throttle circuit including a throttle input coupled to the second filter output. A throttle output provides a throttle signal based upon the peaked video signal. A scaler is coupled between the first filter output and the dynamic range limiter. The scaler is further coupled to the throttle output. The scaler adjusts the peaking signal based upon the throttle signal. Accordingly, peaking is adaptively applied to the video signal based upon the dynamic range limits of the dynamic range limiter, as well as variations in brightness of the input signal over portions of the displayed image.
