Patent number: 7735113Abstract: During sleep mode, a power-source control section stops the power supply to a tuner, a demodulation section, an AV-data processing section and a microcomputer, and delivers a power supply only to a standby tuner. The standby tuner receives a start signal which is transmitted from a head end, using a frequency except a specific frequency which is received by the tuner, and outputs a power-supply instruction signal according to the start signal.

Patent number: 5303061Abstract: A time base correcting apparatus for reducing hindrance to a carrier chrominance signal due to clock jitter, when a sampling clock is generated by a digital circuit. In the time base correcting apparatus, a video signal is sampled with a clock synchronized with the video signal to be written to an FIFO memory. The video signal is then read out therefrom with a fixed clock to remove time base changes of the video signal. The fixed read clock is generated by multiplying two different frequency signals together, where one of the signals has a lower frequency approximately equal to (n+1/4) f (where n is an arbitrary integer, and f is a horizontal sync frequency) and using one of the resultant sidebands obtained through use of a bandpass filter. The read clock frequency is separated by 1/2 f from the other sideband frequency to reduce hindrance between the signals, and in turn to reduce viewable hindrances during the display of the video signal read out from the FIFO.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1992Date of Patent: April 12, 1994Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tokikazu Matsumoto, Fumiaki Koga, Hiromu Kitaura, Takashi Inoue, Nobuyuki Ogawa

Patent number: 5251014Abstract: In a phase error detector for detecting a phase error .theta. of an input color burst signal from a phase of a reference signal from sin .theta. component and cos .theta. component, if either one of the sin .theta. component and cos .theta. component requires M bits for its expression, the both values are divided by a same value to shift in bits to be expressed in N bits (N<M), thereby preventing the subsequent circuit from increasing in scale.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1992Date of Patent: October 5, 1993Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Inoue, Nobuyuki Ogawa, Hiromu Kitaura, Tokikazu Matsumoto, Fumiaki Koga

Digital phase locked loop for correcting a phase of an output signal with respect to an input signal
Patent number: 5055801Abstract: A digital phase locked loop for correcting the phase of an output signal with respect to an input signal has a phase comparator for comparing the phases of the input signal and a feedback signal from a variable frequency oscillator. The output signal of the phase comparator representing the phase difference is integrated in a low pass filter. The output of the low pass filter is supplied to a switch which alternately selects between the output of the low pass filter and a zero level signal from a zero generator. The output of the switch is supplied to the variable frequency oscillator. The output signal of the variable frequency oscillator is returned to the phase comparator, so that the phase of the output signal from the variable frequency oscillator is synchronized with the phase of the input signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1990Date of Patent: October 8, 1991Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fumiaki Koga, Tokikazu Matsumoto
