Abstract: The gist of the invention is a subtitling format encompassing elements of enhanced syntax and semantic to provide improved animation capabilities. The disclosed elements improve subtitle performance without stressing the available subtitle bitrate. This will become essential for authoring content of high-end HDTV subtitles in pre-recorded format, which can be broadcast or stored on high capacity optical media, e.g. the Blue-ray Disc. The invention includes abilities for improved authoring possibilities for the content production to animate subtitles. For subtitles that are separate from AV material, the method includes using one or more superimposed subtitle layers, and displaying only a selected part of the transferred subtitles at a time. Further, colors of a selected part of the displayed subtitles may be modified, e.g. highlighted.

Abstract: A DVD transport stream including a video and a sub-picture stream shall be transcoded to a broadcasting transport stream. For this a decoding-encoding-chain merging video and sub-picture into a single video bitstream to conserve the information of the sub-pictures although not in the broadcasting format reserved is provided. By performing a sub-picture macroblock analysis the transcoding can be controlled such that the motion estimation unit of a standard MPEG-2 encoder and/or the entire decoding loop within the encoder can be saved.

Abstract: Metadata transmitted in parallel to the broadcast information shall be made accessible independent of Internet availability. Therefore, it is proposed to download and store the data located on an Internet address pointed at by metadata link information. The storage is performed in parallel to the recording and is typically done onto the same media; i.e. DVR, hard disk, etc. By playing back the recorded data it is possible to access the complete data including all Internet pages pointed at.

Abstract: TVs and other consumer electronics devices like VCRs and DVD players use on-screen display of messages. For display together with MPEG encoded video signals the picture content of an OSD text or graphic is stored in a non-volatile memory in a specific format: the OSD text or graphic content is divided into macroblock units and the OSD macroblock data are stored in MPEG encoded form in the memory. The OSD macroblocks to be displayed are then handled as a slice.

Abstract translation: 诸如录像机和DVD播放器的电视和其他消费类电子设备使用屏幕显示消息。 为了与MPEG编码的视频信号一起显示，OSD文本或图形的图像内容以特定格式存储在非易失性存储器中：OSD文本或图形内容被划分为宏块单元，并且OSD宏块数据被存储在MPEG 内存中的编码形式。 然后将要显示的OSD宏块作为切片处理。

Abstract: The typical operation of AV processing ICs includes an initialisation mode wherein registers are set up according to the desired functionality using dedicated set up software, and a normal decoding mode in which the content of the registers will not be changed any more. Often the initialisation mode software leads to un-initialised pointers and addresses for the registers. The writing of data in case of invalid pointers or address values can be avoided by additional small hardware for the register write access logic which enables or disables a write enable signal for distinct periods of time.

Abstract translation: AV处理IC的典型操作包括初始化模式，其中使用专用设置软件根据期望的功能建立寄存器，以及其中寄存器的内容将不再被改变的正常解码模式。 通常，初始化模式软件会导致寄存器的未初始化指针和地址。 在无效指针或地址值的情况下写入数据可以通过用于寄存器写入访问逻辑的额外的小硬件来避免，该写入访问逻辑在不同的时间段内启用或禁用写使能信号。

Abstract: A method for the production of picture sequences for a fast search operation in a film play-back device (10, 40) is proposed. In this case, the video data of the individual pictures of the film are stored in digitally coded form in a storage unit (11, 41). The method is distinguished by the fact that 1. the video data of the pictures are read out from the storage unit (11, 41) at an increased speed, that 2. the read-out video data are decoded at an increased speed in a decoder (18, 43), that 3. only the video data of specific individual pictures are selected from the decoded video data and are fed to an encoder (21, 45) which operates at a regular speed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the transmission of digital signals comprises the steps of forming at least two data channels carrying data packets, and eventually header data. The channels have different levels of error protection and include picture data, wherein the data packets within one of the channels have the same level of error protection, and wherein a super-ordinate channel has a higher error protection than a subordinate channel. Important information of a subordinate channel is then transmitted in a super-ordinate channel. The important information allows following erroneous reception of the digital signals an improved recovery of picture data decoding.

Abstract: Several data streams contain video, audio and/or other data. Some of the data streams are pre-recorded in a multiplex on a storage medium while other data streams are located out of the data stream multiplex on the storage medium. The data streams are synchronized using a navigation file (List_of_PlayItems), which comprises descriptors (PlayItems, SubPlayItems) pointing to parts of said data streams, wherein said descriptors define the arrangement in time for said data streams by means of data sub stream paths.

Abstract translation: 几个数据流包含视频，音频和/或其他数据。 一些数据流被预先记录在存储介质上的多路复用中，而其他数据流位于存储介质上的数据流多路复用之外。 使用导航文件（List_of_PlayItems）来同步数据流，导航文件（List_of_PlayItems）包括指向所述数据流的部分的描述符（PlayItems，SubPlayItem），其中所述描述符通过数据子流路径定义所述数据流的时间安排。
