摘要： A video signal processing system and method provides a Picture-in-Guide (PiG) feature. An Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is displayed in a first image region of a display. The EPG comprises various selectable display areas ("News", "LANDS END"). In addition, a video image is shown in a second image region (210) of the display. The system includes user-selection means (325) for selecting the various display areas in the first image region and the second image region of the display. In response to the selection of the second image region of the display, a third image region appears on the display, replacing the first and the second image regions.

摘要： A memory efficient image processor (20) receives DPCM prediction error values from decompressed MPEG coded digital video signals in the form of pixel blocks containing luminance and chrominance data in a 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 format and recompresses the pixel bocks to a predetermined resolution. Luminance and chrominance data are processed with different compression laws during recompression. Luminance data are recompressed to an average of six bits per pixel, and only a reference pixel and one other pixel are processed separately from all other luminance pixels in a block. Chrominance data are recompressed to an average of four bits per pixel. Each pixel block is stored with overhead information facilitating efficient and accurate reconstruction. Accurate pixel reconstruction is facilitated by processing a reference pixel accurately (31); scaling the pixel block (28); employing quantization tables (28) which are symmetrical and fitted to the domain of the pixel block; biasing negative prediction error values (27) to positive values; using short codewords in quantization tables (28) at levels which are most likely to occur statistically; and processing each pixel with three, four or five bit quantization (28) to ensure maximum resolution and an overall four-bit average for the pixel block.
摘要翻译：存储器高效图像处理器（20）以4：2：2或4：2：0格式从包含亮度和色度数据的像素块的形式的解压缩MPEG编码数字视频信号中接收DPCM预测误差值，并重新压缩像素块达到预定分辨率。亮度和色度数据在重新压缩时用不同的压缩规律进行处理。亮度数据被重新压缩为每像素平均6位，并且仅一个参考像素和另一个像素与块中的所有其它亮度像素分开处理。色度数据被重新压缩到平均每像素四位。每个像素块存储有开销信息，有助于高效和准确的重建。通过精确地处理参考像素来促进精确的像素重建（31）; 缩放像素块（28）; 使用对称并拟合到像素块的域的量化表（28）; 将负预测误差值（27）偏置为正值; 在量化表（28）中使用最可能在统计学上发生的级别的短码字; 并且用三个，四个或五个位量化（28）处理每个像素，以确保像素块的最大分辨率和总体四位平均值。

摘要： A video decoder (10) transcodes video data from various input formats to a predetermined output format. Input data may be standard definition (NTSC or PAL) data or MPEG2 compressed data. Standard definition data are rearranged into block format to be compatible with the decoder's (10) single display processor (40). The display processor selectively processes and conveys either MPEG2 format data or non-MPEG2 format data to a display device. A block based frame memory (20) stores MPEG2 and non-MPEG2 pixel block data, as well as standard definition data in raster line format during processing.

摘要： A television receiver includes telephone network interface circuitry which allows the receiver to receive and process Caller-ID signals for display during the ringing period of the telephone set. The television receiver also includes circuitry which allows a list of priority callers to be entered. The incoming Caller-ID codes are compared to the telephone numbers of the priority callers. Upon detection, the Caller-ID information of a priority caller is displayed on screen during television viewing. The telephone numbers of those callers not listed as priority callers are not displayed during the ringing period of the telephone. Both displayed and non-displayed telephone numbers which correspond to unanswered telephone calls are stored in a Caller-ID list for display at the user's convenience. Thus, the user is able to enter data to select beforehand which calling telephone numbers are permitted to interrupt his or her television show by displaying Caller-ID information on the screen.

摘要： A user/subscriber set-top unit (42, 44) in a satellite TV system is associated with a modem (30) coupled to an input optical fiber interface network (12) via a relatively high attenuation unshielded twisted pair (UTP) link (24). The modem demodulates (36) a UTP-attenuated, CAP 16 modulated downstream main signal, and generates (38) a higher energy QPSK modulated upstream return signal. Return signal interference in the received main signal is attenuated (34) by subtracting a delayed, phase adjusted version of the modulated return signal from the main signal before the main signal is demodulated. Interference cancellation is accomplished by using a subtraction process rather than by using a frequency selective filtering process. Interference cancellation may also be accomplished (22) in the interface network (12) preceding the UTP link.

摘要： A television receiver includes an MPEG decoder/decompressor (62-66) for providing decoded/decompressed pixel blocks. Decoded/decompressed pixels are recompressed prior to storage in frame memory (14). In the recompression process a reference first pixel is compressed as a function of a pixel block parameter. A reconstructed reference pixel value is used in a prediction network when reconstructing remaining pixels of the pixel block prior to display. A first pixel processor accurately compresses a reference pixel which prevents the propagation of a prediction error throughout the reconstructed block.

摘要： An MPEG coded and compressed video signal is received and decompressed for display. Prior to storing frames required for motion compensation in memory (14), pixel blocks are recompressed by quantizing (20) DPCM prediction error values (18) to reduce bandwidth and frame memory requirements. Fixed length quantization and dequantization tables (Fig. 2) have N levels (e.g., 15 levels), and each level has an associated output symbol of predominantly M bits (e.g., 4 bits), except that at least one of said N levels (e.g., level 7) is defined by a unique short symbol having less than M bits (e.g., 3 bits). One of the M bits may be reserved as a sign bit. Each time a short symbol is used to represent a data value, bandwidth and memory are reduced and/or preserved for other uses, for example, inserting overhead data into a fixed-size data stream. For large sequences of data, such as exists for video data for example, the reduction in memory and bandwidth is significant.

摘要： A system and method for receiving and rendering Unicode text in multiple languages on a set top box is disclosed. The system includes a set top box which receives an application program from a broadcast station. The set top box executes the application program. The application program includes Unicode character encoding text for display on a television coupled to the set top box. An operating environment running on the set top box includes a Unicode encoding engine which the application program invokes to display Unicode text. The encoding engine determines the language of characters in the text and invokes a rendering engine corresponding to the language of each character, thus enabling characters from different languages to be mixed in the same text string. The rendering engine has specific knowledge of the language, such as rendering direction and context. One or more glyph sets may be plugged in.

摘要： Run/standby switching including switching to standby upon excessive current loading is provided in a switched mode power supply useful as an auxiliary power supply in a television. A switching controller IC (U1) is coupled between a primary transformer winding (W1) on the rectified raw B (RAW B ) input voltage and ground. A switching transistor (Q2) is coupled to the control input of the controller and is biased by the raw B input voltage for pulling down the control input (CNTL). A run/standby control circuit (R5, R6, R7, Q3, Q4, Z3, U3) and an overcurrent protective circuit disable the switching transistor during run mode operation and enable the switching transistor upon an overcurrent fault. The switched-mode power supply is further provided with a quick-reset capability (Q7, R11, R12) to enable the power supply to consistently provide output voltages which are within nominal output voltage levels despite rapidly repeated dislocations in the operational mode of the apparatus.
