摘要： A flat high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) cable. The flat cable that is less visible in comparison to a round HDMI cable for wall mounted television setup. An HDMI connector is coupled to the flat cable. An active circuit isolates physical characteristics of the HDMI connector. The active circuit causes the flat cable to appear shorter than its actual length during HDMI compliance testing using impedance testing. Moreover, the active circuit causes a consumer electronic control (CEC) line, a display data channel (DDC) line and transition minimized differential signal (TMDS) line to actively terminate for reducing parasitic capacitance from the length of the flat cable during HDMI compliance testing. Thus, the isolation allows the flat cable to satisfy HDMI compliant testing. The flat cable may be selected from a group consisting of ribbon cable, twisted pair cable, flexible printed circuit board, micro coax cable, optical cable and glass fiber cable.

摘要： A controlled impedance bus includes a pair of bus traces that carry a transmission minimized differential signal (TMDS). Two or more buffer output terminals. Each output terminal includes a pair of pads connected to the pair of bus traces such that unused pads create minimal stubs on the pair of bus traces. Two or more buffer input terminals are provided. Each of the buffer input terminals includes a pair of connector traces that extend substantially perpendicular to the bus traces. At least one connector is connected to a first end of the pair of connector traces of one of the buffer input terminals. At least one buffer device is connected to a second end of the pair of connector traces and to the pair of pads of one of the buffer output terminals. The buffer device provides signals on the pair of bus traces when enabled by an enable input.

摘要： A method and apparatus for securely restricting the viewing of television programs. When a television program has been received along with rating data associated with a rating of the television program; length data associated with a length of the program, a microcomputer determines whether the rating data are higher than a predetermined viewing restricting level. If the rating data have been found higher, a muting circuit mutes the television program until it ends with reference to the television program length data, and the program corresponding to the rating data is outputted from a tuner.

摘要： A method of selecting a portion of a block of data for display based on characteristics of a display device. The method comprises several steps. In the first step, a block of Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data is received at a communication device adapted to process this data. Next, an input is received at the communication device regarding an appearance of the display device. The communication device can be a set-top box. The appearance of the display includes, but is not limited to, the resolution, the aspect ratio (AR), and the physical size of the display. Based on these inputs, the communication device next selects a portion, more or fewer columns or rows, of the block of EPG data to be displayed on the display device. The portion of the EPG data selected is formatted and communicated to the display device, e.g. television, for viewing by the user.

摘要： Correction of electron beam landing misalignment in a raster-type display is undertaken without using the usual set of coils, but rather by superimposing a landing misalignment correction signal on the already-existing velocity modulation (VM) coil or on another coil located at the junction of the electron beams in the neck of the display. The correction signal may be varied based on pressure, temperature, and ambient magnetic field as indicated by respective sensors to appropriately correct electron beam landing on phosphors the positions of which may be affected by variations in magnetic fields, temperature, and pressure.

摘要： A receiving apparatus and a receiving method arranged to reduce the delay time of tuning to and reception of a digital TV broadcast actually and apparently. A coefficient memory for storing coefficient data to be supplied to a channel equalizer of a front end section is provided. A control section generates equalizer coefficients supplied to the channel equalizer by using the equalizer coefficients in the coefficient memory, and updates the equalizer coefficients stored in the coefficient memory by substituting the generated equalizer coefficients for them. The control section supplies a predetermined video signal to a display section instead of a video output from a decoding section before the video output from the decoding section is obtained.
