摘要:
An apparatus (20) such as a television signal receiver provides an emergency alert function and an auxiliary information display function. According to an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus (20) includes a tuner (22) operative to tune signals including emergency alert signals associated with the emergency alert function. A processor (26) is operative to enable a disabled user setting for the auxiliary information display function responsive to the emergency alert signals.

A method and system (100) for controlling a production studio for producing a television show. The method comprising sending control commands to a plurality of video production devices (104, 106, 110, 108) from a processing unit (102); associating one or more icons representing video production device control buttons with one or more control commands; creating, via a hierarchical user interface, a transition macro by placing one or more of the icons on a time sheet; and executing, via the hierarchical user interface, the transition macro to control the plurality of video production devices (104, 106, 110, 108) during the television show.

A television signal receiver (20) having an emergency alert function provides an alert output in accordance with a user selectable alert mode corresponding to the type of emergency event. According to an exemplary embodiment, the television signal receiver (20) includes a tuner (22) operative to tune a frequency including emergency alert signals indicating a type of emergency event. A processor (27) is operative to enable an alert output responsive to the emergency alert signals, wherein the alert output is provided in accordance with a user selectable alert mode corresponding to the type of emergency event.
摘要:
A method is suggested for detecting a change in the status of a data source the signal of which is recorded beginning at a first time and reproduced beginning at a second time which is later than the first time. In order to prematurely inform a user about unwanted changes in the data stream originating from the data source while reproducing recorded content, the signal to be recorded from the source is permanently monitored for properties indicating an unchanged data stream. Upon detecting a change in the data stream the user is informed, e.g., via an on-screen-display. A menu offering options for further operation or correcting a possible fault is provided to the user. Further a device incorporating the method is suggested.
摘要:
The formatting of a video image frame ( 10 ) having a first aspect ratio to yield an image frame having a different aspect ratio is facilitated by establishing a pan and scan pixel coordinate (P) within the image that defines an image capture window for formatting purposes. A predictor ( 22 ) determines the pan and scan pixel coordinate by examining the image frame to determine the location therein of the most pertinent activity. The predictor ( 22 ) determines the location of the most pertinent activity by examining at least one of: video data, audio data, and other data such as closed captioning information.
摘要:
A television signal processing apparatus is capable of receiving emergency alert signals and providing alert outputs to notify individuals of emergency events. According to one exemplary embodiment, the television signal processing apparatus includes a tuner (22) operative to tune a frequency including emergency alert signals indicating an emergency event. A processor (27) is operative to cause the television signal processing apparatus to be switched from an off/standby mode to an on mode responsive to the emergency alert signals.
摘要:
A method and system for color correcting and completing answerprints in preparation for making final copies of motion pictures for distribution. A light system is provided in which colors of the light projected through a film (22) toward a viewing screen (24) can be individually and incrementally adjusted as desired for use by a color 'Timer' who is an individual that selects color corrections on a scene-by-scene basis until a suitable look is achieved. Color correction is performed in real time while watching the film scene projected on the screen. The color adjustments are stored and subsequently used to control a motion picture film printer when printing a corrected version of scenes of the film.
摘要:
A heat sink is proposed comprising a base defining a base plane extending in a longitudinal and a transversal direction. The base is provided with fins extending along the longitudinal direction and a way from the base plane. The base and the fins are arranged to allow an airflow along the longitudinal direction. A front end of the fins facing the airflow exhibits a surface shape enabling a substantially laminar airflow. The substantially laminar airflow is efficient to provide a good heat transfer between the heat sink and the air. Furthermore, a substantially laminar airflow is relatively silent compared to a turbulent airflow. In addition, a method for manufacturing the inventive heat sink is suggested.
