Abstract: The intensity output of a monochrome interlaced video monitor typically used in medical imaging may be tested as follows. The video card of a computer is controlled to output equal video intensity levels of red, green, and blue for a time sequenced series of different levels. These video signals are combined and attenuated such that the peak level of the series is about 700 mV, which is the industry standard for peak white on a monochrome monitor. The sync pulses from the video card are adjusted to about -300 mV, which is the industry standard for sync pulses driving a monochrome video monitor and are combined with the combined video signal to produce an intensity test signal for driving the monitor. The video card is controlled to produce a high line rate to drive video monitors having an (approximately double) high line rate and to produce a low line rate to drive video monitors having (an approximately double) low line rate.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of fine adjustment of tuning data for a TV receiver which can achieve fine adjustment of tuning data quickly and accurately. The apparatus includes a AFT information memory for storing AFT information on the detuned frequency of a selected channel, and a microcomputer for reading the corresponding AFT information of the selected channel from the AFT information memory and providing tuning data by calculating the read AFT information and a center frequency of the selected channel. The microcomputer also performs search operation if the broadcasting signal of the selected channel is inaccurately tuned in order to detect the detuned frequency thereof. The apparatus is also provided with a fine adjustment key for increasing/decreasing the tuning data so as to perform accurate tuning. The tuning data increased/decreased by the fine adjustment key is then stored in the AFT information memory for use in the next tuning.

Abstract: An image pick-up and projection apparatus comprising a projection unit (14), a pick-up unit (11) and a projection screen (9) switchable between a transmissive state and a diffusing state. By arranging an array (15) of elongated prismatic elements on the front surface of the screen, the contrast of the projected image is enhanced and it is avoided that a user (12) can simultaneously see the front of the projection unit and the front of the pick-up unit.
