Abstract:
A caption presentation method and an apparatus using the method, by which caption and information related to the caption can be provided together in a broadcast receiver or in an image reproducer that displays the caption in a closed caption method. The method includes detecting subject information from a caption signal; obtaining visual information with respect to the caption, based on the detected caption subject information; and displaying the visual information and the caption signal together.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method of changing a bit rate of a compressed image bit stream by changing a codeword so as to easily change the bit rate and reduce a changing loss. The apparatus for changing a bit rate, in which an input bit stream generated by an image compression encoding method is changed into an output bit stream having a desired bit rate, includes a changing codeword determiner which selects codewords to replace the codewords of the input bit stream, and a codeword changer which changes the codewords of the input bit stream into the codewords selected by the changing codeword determiner. The method and the apparatus can be applied to image services provided through the Internet and receiving apparatuses supporting the Personal Video Recorder (PVR) function. Particularly, the method of changing the bit rate of a compressed image bit stream changes the codewords of input transform coefficients so as to easily change the bit rate and reduce the changing loss.
