    摘要: A dual purpose receiver can receive and process either 525-line NTSC signals or 787.5-line HDTV signals without the use of costly interlace-to-progressive scan conversion circuitry. The 525-line signal can either be stored a line at a time and repeated twice to create a 1575-line format, or it can also interpolate values based on the two adjacent received lines to create a form of averaging in the 1575-line format. The invention is not restricted to use with NTSC/HDTV systems.

    摘要: An MPEG on-screen display coder includes a buffer, an MPEG encoder, and a multiplexer. The buffer receives and buffers an MPEG transport data stream containing frames of a selected program and frames of a non-selected program. The MPEG encoder encodes frames of the selected program with an on-screen display. The multiplexer selectively passes to a digital television receiver the frames of the non-selected program, the encoded frames of the selected program, and original frames of the selected program.

    摘要: A data encoding system includes a modifier, an encoder, and a feedback. The modifier receives a first data stream and modifies the first data stream so as to provide a second data stream. The encoder encodes the second data stream in order to provide an output. At least a portion of the output has predetermined symbol values. A feedback from the encoder to the modifier provides encoder states to the modifier. The modifier modifies the first data stream based on the encoder states so as to facilitate the encoder in providing the portion of the output having the predetermined symbol values. A receiver receives a signal based on the output and decodes the signal.

    摘要: Frames comprise odd fields and even fields. The frame sync segments of the odd fields contains a current map specifying the location of data in frames, a next map specifying the location of data in a future frame, and a frame count designating the future frame. The frame sync segments of the even field may contain the same information. Alternatively, the frame sync segments of the odd fields contain the current map and part of the frame count, and the frame sync segments of the corresponding even fields contain the next map and the rest of the frame count. A receiver uses the map and frame count information to find data in the fields of received frames.

    摘要: A frame to field converter includes a converter memory and an address generator. The address generator is arranged to repetitively generate a set of line selecting address sequences and to sequentially apply the addresses of successive ones of the line selecting address sequences to the converter memory. Each line selecting address sequence has a first portion of addresses and a second portion of addresses, and no address is repeated in the first portion of each line selecting address sequence. In response to these line selecting addresses, a first group of lines is written into the converter memory in frame order, and the first group of lines is subsequently read out of the converter memory in field order as a second group of lines is written into the converter memory in frame order.

    摘要: A video signal is produced as a 37.8 MHz bandwidth high resolution signal. The system then derives a compatible NTSC signal from that signal and transmits the NTSC signal on one channel and an enhancement signal is transmitted on a second channel. The enhancement signal is produced by storing the 37.8 MHz signal, scanning it at a lower frame rate, and folding it so that the original information is retained within a normal channel width. In an HDTV receiver, the two channels are received and the signals are decoded separately then, using dot interlace techniques, combined to produce the HDTV signal having three times the horizontal and vertical resolution of a standard NTSC signal.

    摘要: A stabilization network is disclosed which compensates for variable emission characteristics of a cathode in a television receiver's cathode ray tube. During the receiver's vertical interval, a variable gain video amplifier applies a black level D.C. voltage to the cathode. The resulting cathode current is sensed and compared to a low level reference current. If the cathode current does not equal the reference current, a control signal is applied to the amplifier. The amplifier responds to changing its D.C. output voltage until the cathode current is equal to the reference current. The amplifier also responds to the control signal by altering its gain so that, when a video signal is received, the cathode develops peak white currents of a given value in response to peak white portions of the video signal.
