摘要： An apparatus (100) such as a digital television signal receiver is capable of reducing channel change times. According to an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus (100) includes a processor (60) operative to enable a user to select an algorithm from a plurality of algorithms, and at least one tuner (10) operative to pre-tune at least one channel based on the selection. The processor (60) determines whether a requested channel is pre-tuned by the at least one tuner (10) responsive to an input, and enables output of the requested channel. The requested channel is output more rapidly if the requested channel is pre-tuned than if the requested channel is not pre-tuned.

摘要： A method and apparatus is presented for simultaneous reception of a plurality of digital RF channels. Specifically, N amplifier-filter circuits (111, 112, 113) are configured to receive and separate a multichannel analog RF input signal into N analog signals, each including a different frequency band. N analog-to-digital converters (121, 122, 123) are provided, each respectively coupled to one of the N amplifier-filter circuits (111, 112, 113) and configured to receive an analog signal and generate a respective digital signal. A digital tuner (130) is coupled to receive and demultiplex the N digital signals generated by the N analog-to-digital converters (121, 122, 123), thereby recovering M digital RF channels. M demodulation circuits (141, 142, 143) are provided for performing demodulation and forward-error-correction of the M digital RF channels (see FIG. 1). This combination of components permits substantially simultaneous reception of multiple digital cable channels within a single digital receiver circuit suitable for use with conventional cable delivery systems and at a reasonable cost.

摘要： A signal tuning system (200) including a picture-in-picture (PIP) feature (270) includes a first (215) and a second (220) tuner. The first (215) and second (220) tuners are adapted to tune to a first and a second channel of a received signal in response to a state of the received signal. A switching device (235) coupled to the tuners (215, 220) switches the tuner (215) carrying a primary channel to a primary display area (265) . The switching device (240) also switches the other tuner (220) carrying the secondary channel to a PIP display in a PIP display area (270) . One tuner is a higher performance tuner and the other a lower performance tuner. Therefore the more sensitive tuner is tuned to the weaker one of the two received channels.

摘要： A system for economically extending the effective operational range of an infrared remote control system having a remote control unit with an infrared transmitter, and a controlled device having an infrared receiver. The system includes a first transmitter to receive IR signals from the emote control unit and transmit an RF output signal corresponding to the infrared signal received from the remote control unit. The RF signal is received by an RF receiver which generates a second IR signal corresponding to the received radio signal. The second IR signal is transmitted to and received by the IR controlled device. In some cases, the first IR control signal, and in all cases, the RF, signal include information/data concerning the IR carrier frequency. This information/data of IR carrier frequency, instead of the RF transmission of the actual IR carrier frequency, permits a reduction of the RF bandwidth since the full frequency spectrum of possible IR carriers need not be transmitted, thus permitting amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation to be used. The RF receiver decodes the received signal and uses the information/data to configure a second IR control signal that is compatible with and transmitted to the controlled device.
摘要翻译：一种用于经济地扩展具有带有红外发射器的遥控单元的红外遥控系统的有效操作范围的系统，以及具有红外接收器的受控装置。所述系统包括：第一发射器，用于从所述表情控制单元接收IR信号，并发送与从所述遥控单元接收到的所述红外信号相对应的RF输出信号。 RF信号由RF接收机接收，RF接收机产生对应于所接收的无线电信号的第二IR信号。第二个红外线信号被IR控制的设备传输到并接收。在某些情况下，第一IR控制信号，并且在所有情况下，RF信号包括关于IR载波频率的信息/数据。由于不需要传输可能的IR载波的全频谱，所以IR载波频率的信息/数据代替实际的IR载波频率的RF传输允许降低RF带宽，从而允许幅移键控（ASK）调制使用。 RF接收机对接收到的信号进行解码，并使用信息/数据来配置与受控设备兼容并传输到受控设备的第二IR控制信号。
