    摘要: A data processing system processes digital information representing, for example, an image and supplied at a lower transfer rate from a data source such as an optical disc unit, to produce data in such a form as to be efficiently used by a device of a higher transfer rate such as a CRT display unit. The digital information includes a plurality of groups of data each representing, for example, a portion or a window of the image and added with control data for defining characteristics thereof. While the digital information is read out at a constant entire transfer rate, the plurality of groups of data are transferred at respective transfer rates which vary with a lapse of time. The control data of each group of data is separated therefrom, and the group of data and the separated control data are stored into first and second memories. The groups of data stored in the first memory are processed in accordance with the results of analysis of the control data stored in the second memory to form data in such a form as to be efficiently used by the device of the higher transfer rate.

    摘要: A video display control system displays a multicolor animation pattern on a screen of a video display unit. The video display control system is mainly constructed by a video RAM (VRAM) and a video display processor (VDP). The VRAM stores animation pattern data, display position data and at least two color data. The VDP reads these data and makes an animation pattern image displayed in at least two colors at a display position on the screen. The animation pattern image, two colors and display position are determined by the animation pattern data, two color data and display position data. In another video display control system, the VRAM stores at least two sets of animation pattern data, display position data and color data. When displaying two animation patterns, the VDP effects a logical operation on the two color data with respect to the overlapping portion of the two patterns and makes the overlapping portion displayed in a new color corresponding to the operation result. When the animation patterns overlaps, the VDP can also deliver a collision signal in place of the logical operation, thereby enabling a CPU to recognize the position of the overlapping portion.

    摘要: A video display processor (VDP) produces a video signal by which a black and white image of an increased gradation can be displayed on a video display unit. The VDP reads from a video RAM (VRAM) either color codes each representative of a color of each display element, or amplitude data representative of amplitudes of a video signal to be reproduced. When displaying an image based on the color codes, the color codes are converted by a color palette circuit into color data each composed of three primary color data, and then supplied to a digital color encoder. The digital color encoder multiplies each of the three color data by predetermined coefficients at proper phase timings to output data representative of three chrominance signals. This output data is summed by an adder circuit and then converted into an analog signal to be supplied to the video display unit as the video signal. When displaying an image based on the amplitude data, the color palette circuit converts the amplitude data into gradation data. The digital color encoder multiplies the gradation data by other proper coefficients so that data proportional in value to the gradation data are obtained at the output of the adder circuit. This data is converted into an analog signal to thereby reproduce the video signal.

    摘要: A key-speed-responsive volume control apparatus for a keyboard-type electronic musical instrument includes a key switch associated with a key of the instrument, wherein a movable contact of the key switch moves out of engagement with a break contact and into engagement with a make contact upon depression of the key. A capacitor is charged following the movement of the movable contact out of engagement with the break contact and before engagement with the make contact. The capacitor is made to discharge at a first prescribed rate immediately after charging until the movable contact comes into engagement with the make contact, and then at a second prescribed rate until the movable contact disengages the make contact upon release of the key. The terminal voltage of the capacitor when the movable contact comes into engagement with the make contact is utilized for controlling the amplitude of a tone source signal corresponding to the depressed key, thereby providing a tone signal having an initial amplitude determined in accordance with the speed of key depression. Necessitating the use of only one capacitor for each key, the apparatus is suitable for fabrication in the form of an integrated circuit.

    摘要: A video display control system for displaying a video image on a screen of a video display unit. This video display control system basically comprises a VRAM (video RAM) and a video display processor (VDP). The VRAM has memory locations corresponding to display elements on the screen. The VDP includes a first register for receiving area information identifying a display area on the screen, an address generator for generating addresses of memory locations corresponding to the display area in accordance with the area information, and a memory accessing circuit for accessing the memory locations having the addresses. Therefore, the memory accessing operation through this VDP does not need a complicated support by a central processing unit. The VDP further comprises a second register for storing a color code supplied from an external device or read from the VRAM. Through this second register, the memory accessing circuit performs a memory accessing operation such as a transfer of color code between the external device and the VRAM, whereby color painting on a display area such as a rectangular area, dot and a line can easily be achieved. The VDP further comprises an operation circuit for effecting a certain operation on a color code in the second register and a color code in the VRAM and generating a new color code in accordance with the operation result. The operation-related color change on a display area can be achieved by storing the new color code in a corresponding memory location of the VRAM.
