摘要:
An interactive high definition display system generates (48) its own graphics display data, accepts multiple video signals (12) and graphics display signals (16, 20) based upon multiple standards, and selectively produces therefrom an integrated video and graphics display featuring multiple images or compositing. The incoming video signals (12) are decoded (30) into corresponding RGB signals, digitised (30) and written into memory (30). The incoming and internally generated graphics display data signals are also written into memory (42). According to preprogrammed instructions, or interactively according to instructions received via a computer interface (46), an integrated, multiple image or composite display pattern with both active video and graphics display images can be generated by selecting from and arranging for display the stored video and graphics display data, and viewed on a high definition display or stored on a high definition video tape recorder.
摘要:
To provide a multi-dimensional user interface for use in audio visual production, a display system including a central processing unit (CPU)(22) is coupled through appropriate input/output (I/O) circuitry (32) to input devices, such as a keyboard (38), a digital pad (36) and/or a track ball (40) as well as a display device (50). The CPU is further coupled to a hard disk drive (30) for the storage of programs and data, and is also coupled to a network through which the CPU may communicate with a variety of system resource devices such as editors, music synthesizers (55), graphics generators, scheduling resources, audio enhancement resources, etc. A user viewing the interface on the display may utilize one of the input devices, such as by way of example, the keyboard, to select, incorporate or otherwise integrate the various system resources to develop a unified multi-media production. The user interface includes a control frame (150) which in practice substantially fills all of the display screen of the display and is consistent for all user applications. The control frame is comprised of control panels (152, 190, 170) which surround a variety of subwindows (200, 215) and acts as a consistent control area for all users of the interface. Once defined, elements may be selectively placed on an event horizon bar (220) in the control frame. The placement of an element on the event horizon results in the display of timing data for the element, relative to other elements on the event horizon.
