Abstract: A video display system is disclosed for use in fitting advertising copy or other text matter in a desired final layout prior to typesetting. The original text is read into a video display terminal from a tape reader, for display on a CRT screen. Changes in the size, location and other parameters of the displayed text are made by typing characters and instructions from a keyboard and control panel at the terminal. The layout instructions and text data are encoded in digital format, modified by computer processing programs in accordance with the layout instructions, and the modified data drives character generating and position logic units for displaying the updated layout on the screen. The layout instructions, in the form of parameter messages, are displayed in an area or field adjacent to the text on the screen. Changes in any portion of the text are initiated by directing a test cursor or a parameter cursor to the appropriate element of text or the associated parameter message to be changed in the display, followed by keyboarding or keying in the desired changes. Following copy layout, the text and associated layout instructions are processed by the system into a format suitable for directly driving a photocomposing machine, and outputted to paper tape, magnetic tape or an electrical connection to a computer system.

Abstract translation: 公开了用于在排版之前以期望的最终布局拟合广告文本或其他文本事物的视频显示系统。 将原始文本从磁带阅读器读入视频显示终端，以便在CRT屏幕上显示。 通过从终端上的键盘和控制面板输入字符和指令来进行显示文本的大小，位置和其他参数的更改。 布局指令和文本数据以数字格式编码，根据布局指令由计算机处理程序修改，修改后的数据驱动字符生成和位置逻辑单元，用于在屏幕上显示更新的布局。 参数消息形式的布局指令显示在与屏幕上文本相邻的区域或字段中。 通过将测试光标或参数光标指向文本的相应元素或在显示中要更改的相关参数消息，然后键入或键入所需的更改来启动文本任何部分的更改。 在复制布局之后，文本和相关的布局指令由系统处理成适于直接驱动光电拾取机的格式，并输出到纸带，磁带或与计算机系统的电连接。

Abstract: A CONSOLE FOR KEYBOARD EDITING AND CORRECTING OF TEXT, SUCH AS NEWSPAPER COPY, DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN OF A CATHODE RAY TUBE. THE ENCODED TEXT COPY IS RECIRCULATED IN A REFRESH MEMORY HAVING A LARGE CAPACITY DYNAMIC SHIFT REGISTER AND A SMALL CAPACITY RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY WHERE VARIOUS EDITING AND CORRECTING CHANGES MAY BE MADE. THE TEXT DISPLAYED ON THE CATHODE RAY SCREEN MAY BE "ROLLED UP" OR "ROLLED DOWN" ONE LINE AT A TIME AS THE EDITING PROCEEDS. ANY SELECTED BLOCK OF THE TEXT MAY BE TRANSMITTED FROM THE OUTPUT OF THE RECIRCULATING MEM-

ORY TO AN OUTPUT DEVICE, SUCH AS A PUNCH, AND DELETED FROM THE REFRESH MEMORY AT THE SAME TIME.
