  • Patent number: 7830454
    Abstract: A TV signal processor is disclosed to include multiple signal receivers, a signal amplifier, a signal processor, signal decoder and a MINI-PCI interface. The TV signal processor further comprises a plurality of reserve pins arranged in a manner to meet a specification including the SVHS input signal pin, the CVBS input signal pin and the Audio input/output signal pin for inputting/outputting various audio/video signals. Thus, the use of MINI-PCI slots in the host may be effectively reduced and provide more convenience to the users.

  • Publication number: 20070103592
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method of synchronously receiving digital and analog television signals that installs an application software, a direct show, a driver and a tuner in a host end, and the digital television signals and analog television signals transmitted by the application software are sent to the driver through the direct show or directly to the driver, such that an analog television tuner and a digital television tuner installed in the tuner can simultaneously receive the digital and analog television signals for users to simultaneously or separately saving and playing the signals, so as to increase the types of viewed and saved the television signals and allow users to simultaneously process different types of the television signals.

  • Publication number: 20070010962
    Abstract: A test interface card for use in a test host without hot plug function is disclosed. The test interface card comprises a Bus power control circuit; a microcontroller, adopted for sensing a control status of the Bus power control circuit and transmitting a sensing result to the test host; a PCI slot; a PCI Bus, connected to the microcontroller and a PCI slot of the test host; wherein the Bus power control circuit is adopted for controlling power supply to the PCI slot and the PCI slot is adopted for connecting with an test audio-video device; and a switch, for controlling and emitting an on/off signal to the Bus power control circuit for selectively cutting power supply to said PCI slot so that testing of the audio-video device can be implemented without shutting down the test host.

  • Patent number: 7102591
    Abstract: A video player includes a CPU adapted to receive video data from an external electronic apparatus, two memories, and a video encoder connected to a video output device. The CPU stores video data from the external electronic apparatus in a first memory at first, and then stores received video data in a second memory when the first memory fully occupied, and at the same time transfers storage video data from the first memory to the video output device through the video encoder, and then switches the storage path to store received video data in the first memory again when the second memory fully occupied, and at the same time, transfers storage video data from the second memory to the video output device through the video encoder, for enabling all received video data to be completely transmitted to the video output device for output in the form of a moving picture.

  • Patent number: 6555995
    Abstract: An extended jacket with video input and output comprises a CF extended card unit, a digital camera connector, a video input connector, a video input handling unit, a universal connector, a video data storage unit, a read/write control unit, a video data output handling unit, a far end remote control unit and a power supply unit. The extended jacket can output the video signal to a display device (VGA S-VHS/COMPOSITE VIDEO) via an universal connector or the external video signal is imported into the operation system to be edited and treated and is temporarily saved or output to the display device with an added function of CF card extension and an added remote control device for controlling the display on the display device. Additionally, an independent power supply system is equipped internally to prevent a problem resulting from an increased power consumption demands of the PDA and provide a function for facilitating hot insertion and extraction therein.
