Abstract: An arrangement for TV broadcasting outdoor events or the like via a mobile unit (34), which is connected via cables (30, 11, 20) to devices (12, 21, 22) for supplying and/or receiving video, audio or control signals and accommodates corresponding apparatuses (34a) for processing these signals, achieves a reduction in the number of cables and realizes new services, by providing at least one coupling station (10) in which separate optical waveguides (11, 20), outgoing from the individual devices (12, 21, 22), are coupled to a light-wave broadband cable (30), the light-wave broadband cable (30) being connected to a docking station (31) for transferring source signals, the devices (12, 21, 22) and the docking station (31) having electro-optical transducer elements (32) for converting the source signals, and the docking station being connectable to the mobile unit (34).

Abstract: Image information is stored into a memory device (FMORG) which is controlled in such a manner that only image information from a movement phase different from the movement phase of the image information already stored in the memory device (FMORG), is stored into the memory device (FMORG), whereby the memory device (FMORG) provides image information from a movement phase which differs from a movement phase of the image information by a fixed number of movement phases, even when the image information contains repeated movement phases.

Abstract: The invention provides a broadcasting signal receiver which can prevent a failure in reserved recording. A microcomputer decodes a VCR+code of a program desired to be recorded by reservation, which is inputted by way of a remote commander or the like, to obtain data of program starting and ending times and channel information. A channel indicated by the channel information is selected by a tuner circuit, and program table data is extracted from a character broadcasting signal multiplexed in a video signal by a decoder. It is discriminated whether or not one of the program starting times of programs included in the program table data coincides with the program starting time obtained by decoding of the VCR+code. A result of the discrimination is displayed on a monitor television. Only when it is discriminated that a coincident program starting time is present, the data of the program starting and ending times and the channel information are written into a reservation memory and registered for reservation.

Abstract: An automatic channel searching method for a picture-in-picture type television receiver which automatically searches other channel broadcasting signals and displays the searched channel broadcasting signal on a sub-channel region of a display screen when the present viewing channel program is almost completed or a new channel broadcasting program starts, thereby providing convenience for the user's channel selection. According to the channel searching method, broadcasting program information signal is detected from an input channel broadcasting signal, if it is determined according to the detected information signal whether or not a newly starting broadcasting program of a corresponding channel is displayed on the sub-channel region.

Abstract: A method of motion-compensated interpolation of a picture signal (Pi) having input fields, comprises the steps of providing (ME) motion vectors (D) between a first and a second input field of the picture signal (Pi), and providing (MC1, OC) an interpolated field (Po) on the basis of at least one input field in dependence upon the motion vectors (D). At least one further motion vector (Dmax) is furnished (C2) in addition to each provided motion vector (D), whereby the interpolated field (Po) is furnished (MC1, MC2, OC) in dependence upon both the first-mentioned motion vectors (D) and the further motion vectors (Dmax).

Abstract: A television set having an .alpha.-wave generation function includes a user key input portion, an .alpha.-wave generator, a sound producer, a first switch for selectively applying the .alpha.-wave generated by the .alpha.-wave generator to the sound producer and a controller for controlling an on/off operation of the first switch in response to a user input via the key input portion, to thereby enable a user to select the .alpha.-wave generation in the television set. Through a second switch for selectively applying an audio signal to the sound producer and a third switch for selectively supplying a video signal to a cathode ray tube of the television set, the user can control the .alpha.-wave generation simultaneously or independently from the audio and video signals.
