Patent number: 6052156Abstract: A digital color encoder capable of reducing the aperture distortion of D/A conversion and the waveform distortion of the video signal without resulting in the increase of the consumed electric current. At first, digital signals sampled with a sampling frequency are inputted as original color signals. The digital composite color video signals of the sampling frequency fl are created from those signals by digital signal processing with the combination of matrix circuit, color burst controlling circuit, modulation circuit, addition circuit, and synchronization signal adding circuit, etc. Next, the sampling frequency of the composite color video signal is converted by a sampling frequency converting circuit inserted immediately before the D/A converter. The converted signal is further converted to an analog signal capable of being inputted into the TV set by a D/A converter, and the signal is outputted as a video signal.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1997Date of Patent: April 18, 2000Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Takuo Mukai, Kentarou Hara, Masaharu Adachi

Patent number: 5495266Abstract: A still picture display apparatus displays a still picture in which characters each composed of combination of a predetermined number of dots on a raster scan monitor in accordance with character data and program data both stored in an external storage device in advance. Offset data of at least one of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction correspondingly to each character is stored in an offset table formed in the external storage device. A picture processing unit determines an address on the basis of the offset data and at least one of a horizontal position and a vertical position, and reads video data from a video data memory according to the address to apply to the raster scan monitor.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1994Date of Patent: February 27, 1996Assignees: Nintendo Co., Ltd., Ricoh Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Otake, Toyofumi Takahashi, Satoshi Nishiumi, Takuo Mukai

Patent number: 5400052Abstract: A mosaic picture display apparatus includes a picture processing unit and an external storage unit connected thereto. Mosaic size data is programmed in the external storage unit. In response to a control signal which is generated for each mosaic having a mosaic size determined by the mosaic size data at timing of the start thereof, a latch latches still picture character data outputted from a register. Therefore, each of dots in the mosaic is displayed by the same latched character data.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1993Date of Patent: March 21, 1995Assignees: Nintendo Co., Ltd., Ricoh Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Otake, Toyofumi Takahashi, Satoshi Nishiumi, Takuo Mukai
