    摘要: Apparatus for controlling various functions of a television receiver such as the picture and audio responses includes a keyboard with numbered keys which are normally used for selecting channels and a program key. When the program key is pressed, an on-screen character generator is caused to display a numbered list or menu of the various functions to be controlled. Thereafter, a particular function can be selected for control by pressing the correspondingly numbered key. This causes the numbered list or menu of the characteristics of the selected function, e.g., the brightness, contrast, sharpness, color level and color tint of the picture, to be displayed. Thereafter a particular characteristic can be selected for control by pressing the correspondingly numbered key.

    摘要: The stored digitized video image data stored in a video RAM is transferred from the video RAM in a pix-in-pix television receiver to an external computer via a computer interface circuit under control of the pix-in-pix controller. The computer interface circuit is coupled to the internal controller of the television receiver via an external terminal. The external terminal receives digital control data from the external computer and conveys the stored digitized video image data signals from the video RAM to the external computer.

    摘要: Time-keeping apparatus includes a microcomputer having a normal, relatively high power consumption mode of operation and a standby relatively low power consumption mode of operation. The AC power supply includes energy storage providing standby power for operation during power interruption. A controllable delay arrangement causes the microcomputer to operate in a cyclical mode with a relatively long duration in the standby mode of operation and a relatively short duration in the normal mode of operation. The time period of the relatively long duration, having been previously stored in memory, is utilized for incrementing the time-keeping during the relatively short duration in the normal mode until the end of the power interruption ends the cylical mode of operation.

    摘要: In a tuning system for a television receiver including a memory for storing binary signals representing tuning voltages corresponding to various channels a viewer may select, during a tuning voltage setup mode in which the binary signals representing the tuning voltages are generated in response to viewer control, a multiplexer couples predetermined selected ones of the binary signals representing the tuning voltages to a digital channel number display unit to provide a viewer with an indication of the relative tuning position. The multiplexer also couples binary signals representing the letter "A" to the channel number display during the tuning voltage setup mode to distinguish the tuning voltage setup mode from other modes of operation of the tuning system. In addition, during a channel selection setup mode, in which a viewer selects the channels he does not wish skipped during normal operation of the tuning system, the multiplexer couples binary signals representing the letters "CH" to the channel number display to distinguish the channel selection tuning mode from the tuning voltage setup mode and the normal operating mode.

    摘要: A component audio/video system includes a system controller coupled to supply selection and control commands to a plurality of peripheral audio/video devices and to receive status messages therefrom. The devices may be selected to form a number of different recording configurations involving combinations of one or more recording signal sources and one or more devices for recording the signals. The system controller enters one of a number of different control modes for turning power off to the signal sources and recording devices depending on the status messages identifying recording configurations to enable continued recording by some devices when others run out of recording or playback media.

    摘要: An interconnection system for an audio and video component entertainment system includes a single conductor audio bus serially coupled between each of the video and audio components transfers audio signal in a "daisy-chain" manner among the components. The video components are grouped together separately from the audio components along the audio bus and both types of components supply and/or receive audio signals from the bus. A first switch in series with the audio bus separates the audio bus into first and second sections so as to allow simultaneous and independent audio signal transfer among the video and audio components connected to the separated sections of the audio bus.

    摘要: A digital video signal processing system receives encoded packets of data representing video image information in compressed form. A video decoder and an associated video RAM are used to decode and decompress the video packets to form groups of video image representative digital words. The video decoder also includes an on-screen display (OSD) unit which converts a graphics bit map stored in a section of the video RAM to groups of graphic image representative digital words. The image representative digital words and the graphic representative digital words are multiplexed together under the control of the OSD display unit.
