摘要:
A television signal processing system (20) having an emergency alert function 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 system (20) includes a tuner (22, 42) operative to tune a frequency including emergency alert signals indicating an emergency event. A processor (26, 53) is operative to enable an alert output responsive to the emergency alert signals when the emergency event indicated by the emergency alert signals corresponds to a geographical area selectable by a user. According to another exemplary embodiment, the processor (26, 53) is operative to enable an alert output responsive to the emergency alert signals when the emergency event indicated by the emergency alert signals corresponds to a predetermined event selectable by a user.
摘要:
A system, apparatus and/or method provides frequency response adjustment of an RF input filter (208) of an RF tuner (40) based on impedance of an antenna system (24) that is providing reception of RF signals to the RF tuner. The frequency response adjustment is preferably accomplished dynamically and/or with respect to each frequency tuned. Particularly, the system, method and/or apparatus provides compensation at the RF tuner level for mistuning effects produced on the RF tuner (40) by antenna system impedance (29) presented at the antenna input (30) that is other than a designed for impedance. Frequency response of an RF input filter (208, 216) for the RF tuner (40) is electronically adjustable with an independent or semi-independent control voltage signal based on one or more measured parameters of a tuning frequency. Frequency response adjustment may include adjustment of a center frequency of the RF input filter bandpass frequency range and/or altering the bandpass frequency range of the RF input filter. The subject invention expands the capability of an RF signal receiver, particularly one using at least one electronically adjustable RF filter at the input of an electronic alignment type tuner.

A remote control device (40) for a television signal processing system (20) is capable of receiving a signal indicating an emergency event and providing alert outputs to notify individuals of emergency events, while simultaneously transmitting control signals which control the television signal receiver (20). According to an exemplary embodiment, the remote control device (40) includes a tuner (42) operative to tune a frequency including a signal indicating an emergency event, and a transmitter (48) operative to transmit a control signal which controls the television signal processing system (20).
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.
