    摘要: A data format employing multiple different headers associated with corresponding OSD content facilitates the implementation of an efficient and flexible OSD management and control system. Each header contains a unique display characteristic or set of display characteristics for the interpretation and presentation of an associated OSD pixel map. In using this system, the presentation or modification of an OSD involves the selection of the header, associated with the OSD, having the desired display characteristics to be used in presenting or modifying the OSD.

    摘要: Described is a TV system that uses a single pixmap across multiple video rasters having different raster sizes. In general, the TV system uses at least two headers to select different portions of a single pixmap to be displayed based on different raster sizes. Specifically, each of the two headers points to a single pixmap. In the TV system, the size of the central portion is fixed while the size of the sidepanel portion can be adjusted depending on the displaying mode. In response to different displaying modes, the TV system selectively invokes one of the two headers to select a respective portion to be displayed in the pixmap. By doing so, a single pixmap can be used across multiple video rasters having different raster sizes.

    摘要: A digital television signal receiver (20) processes a digital television signal and auxiliary information contained in the digital television signal regardless of whether the auxiliary information is analog auxiliary information (36) or digital auxiliary information (34) and produces a television display signal (44) suitable for displaying the processed auxiliary information. In the case of the auxiliary information being closed caption information, the digital television signal receiver extracts and processes digital closed captioning information according to standard EIA-708 or extracts and processes analog closed caption information according to standard EIA-608. The television signal processing receiver thus allows the user the option of selecting a fallback method of obtaining captioning for a digital program signal if the digital program signal does not include digital closed captioning. Thus, if a digital television signal does not include digital closed caption information, the digital television signal receiver automatically processes any analog auxiliary information and provides a television signal having closed caption information suitable for display.

    摘要翻译: 无论辅助信息是模拟辅助信息(36)还是数字辅助信息(34),数字电视信号接收器(20)处理包含在数字电视信号中的数字电视信号和辅助信息,并产生电视显示信号(44 )适用于显示已处理的辅助信息。 在辅助信息是隐藏字幕信息的情况下,数字电视信号接收机根据标准EIA-708提取和处理数字隐藏字幕信息,或者根据标准EIA-608提取和处理模拟隐藏字幕信息。 因此,如果数字节目信号不包括数字闭路字幕,则电视信号处理接收器因此允许用户选择为数字节目信号获得字幕的回退方法。 因此,如果数字电视信号不包括数字隐藏字幕信息,则数字电视信号接收机自动处理任何模拟辅助信息,并提供具有适于显示的隐藏字幕信息的电视信号。

    摘要: A TV system that uses a single pixmap across multiple video rasters having different raster sizes. In general, the TV system uses at least two sets of headers to select different portions of a single pixmap to be displayed based on different raster sizes. Specifically, each of the headers in a header set points to a pixel line to select number of pixels for that pixel line. The number of the headers in a header set determines the height of the pixmap and the pixel number selection by a set of headers determines the width of the pixmap. In response to different displaying modes, the TV system selectively invokes one of the two header sets to select different portions of the single pixmap. By doing so, a single pixmap can be used across multiple video rasters having different raster sizes.

    摘要: A system and method for processing a channel entry is presented. In one embodiment, the receiving mode of an apparatus is first determined. A first channel entry format is then displayed, if it is determined that the apparatus in the first receiving mode. A second channel entry format is displayed, instead, if it is determined that the apparatus in the second receiving mode. Furthermore, the first channel entry format comprises a first and a second information portions and the second channel entry format comprises a third information portion.

    摘要: An apparatus and concomitant method for generating an OSD message by constructing an OSD bitstream having OSD data defining a plurality of alternate OSD pixel lines. The OSD bitstream contains an OSD header and OSD data. An OSD unit retrieves pixel control information from the OSD header which is programmed by a processor of a decoding/displaying system. The OSD header contains information that is used to program a color palette of the OSD unit and to provide instructions as to the treatment of the OSD data. If the “Line Doubling Mode” is enabled in the OSD header, then the OSD unit will repeat each OSD line on the next line of video for an OSD region.

    摘要: In a video processing system and method, individual program channels are allocated first and second identification numbers. The first identification number is associated with an information provider. The second identification number is used in identifying a broadcast sub-channel from among a group of sub-channels associated with the first identification number. The first and second identification numbers in conjunction, are used in identifying data constituting a program transmitted on the broadcast sub-channel. The group of sub-channels are displayed along with the associated information provider in a hierarchical fashion for channel selection purposes.
