Abstract: In a method for the remote controlled substitution, in particular of a defined advertising spot by a test advertising spot for selected receivers, it has been provided that bi-phase modulated start codes are transmitted in the picture lines outside of the TV picture visible on the video screen for the control of the address-distributed TV signals for the program part to be substituted. To execute this method, a household terminal in the form of an interposed device for commercially available TV receivers has been provided, which is distinguished by at least two tuners, the outputs of which are connected with a fade-over component, as well as a decoding circuit arrangement for decoding the switching code signals and for contact with the fade-over component. To achieve a field-exact switchover, i.e.

Abstract: A video printer has a built-in display to avoid unnecessary external connections. Composite displays are formed by superposing an auxiliary video signal (e.g. from a character generator) on a main video signal. While the composite signal is being displayed, the printer prints out the image formed by the composite signal. Multi-frame pictures may be printed, as can pictures of varying resolution, depending on whether a frame or a field of the video signal is selected.
