Abstract: The invention consists of a set top interface box(fig 1,30) to allow a number of data sources (including video) to be connected to a television receiver. The user can select between sources using a handset(20) and includes picture in picture display facilities. The invention comprises an analogue multiplexer 31 to allow switching between the various sources 34,35,42,44,40 the output of which is connected to a video processor 39. The video processor 39 is connected to amongst others an audio control 46, a CPU 48, an infrared I/O device 50 and a modem 52. The set top unit (30) can also include facilities for decoding encrypted video signals(e.g. for pay per view) and decompressing video 38. In use the user would be presented with a graphical representation of their display options(fig 18) and could point and select(135) to determine which sources would go to which destinations(VCR, full screen, picture in picture).

Abstract: Disclosed is a video processor for processing first and second analog composite video signals and producing an output analog video signal. The video processor includes a video decoder and scaler for converting the second analog composite video signal to a reduced digital video signal. The video processor also includes a video encoder for converting the reduced digital video to a third analog composite video signal. Synchronization circuits are included for producing synchronization information for synchronizing the third analog composite video signal with the first analog composite video signal. The video processor further includes a composite video multiplexer for combining the first analog composite video signal with the third analog composite signal to produce the output analog composite video signal which is comprised of a portion of the first analog video signal and a portion of the third analog video signal.

Abstract: A computer system with read-only memory and permanent read/write memory provides the user with the capability of loading an alternate operating system at the conclusion of a session without turning the computer off and then on. A customization word with a system request (SR) bit is located in read/write memory and is set by routines located in ROM upon user request. A reinitialization is then forced which resets the SR bit and brings up the machine in the alternate operating system located in external memory on a diskette or fixed disk. A flexible initialization system is also disclosed providing customized initialization in a variety of operating systems and applications. The preferred customized initialization is maintained for future system start-ups due to the resetting of the SR bit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a personal computer system that includes a media console coupled to a system unit with a multi-conductor cable. The media console contains a direct access storage device (e.g., floppy disk drive) having an opening for receiving a removable storage medium. The system unit is separate from the media console and includes a microprocessor coupled to a first bus, a non-volatile storage device coupled to the first bus and a power supply for supplying power to the the system. The multi-conductor cable has one end coupled to the media console and another end coupled to the system unit for electrically connecting devices in the media console to devices in the system unit.

Abstract: Advantage is taken of Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit design and manufacture to provide, in a digital data handling system handling display signal streams, a video processor which is capable of high performance due to vector processing and special addressing modes. The video processor has, on a single VLSI device, a plurality of processors which cooperate for generating video signal streams and which employ distinctive addressing modes for memory elements of the device. Each of the plurality of processors has associated instruction and data caches, which are joined together by a wide data bus formed on the same substrate as the processors, and further has registers for controlling access, and the modes of access, to data held in memory.
