  • Patent number: 5398083
    Abstract: A signal generating apparatus comprises: a scanning-line number detector (2) for detecting the number of scanning lines with receipt of a sync signal; a convergence memory (3) for storing convergence correction data; an on-screen display memory (5) for storing on-screen display data; an interpolator (4) for performing vertical interpolation of output data derived from the memories (3, 5) according to the detection signal derived from the scanning-line number detector (2); and a frame memory (6) for successively reading data elements corresponding to the individual scanning lines interpolated by the interpolator (4). The apparatus detects the number of scanning lines and generates a correction signal and a character signal through vertical processing of convergence correction data and on-screen character data.

  • Patent number: 5382984
    Abstract: A digital convergence apparatus detects the presence/absence, frequency and the number of scanning lines of inputted synchronizing signals, performs an interpolation between adjusting points corresponding to the detection signal to prepare a correction data, and performs a cursor display of a center position between adjusting points, extrapolating operation control and difference data storage, writing of the same data into n-planes, and time sharing the interpolation processor so as to accommodate multimedia with a high accuracy.

  • Patent number: 5111284
    Abstract: A digital convergence unit detects the aspect ratio of the screen and converts stored convergence correction data in accordance with the detected signal. This can be achieved with high precision and with a small memory capacity. It can also be applied to multimedia by data processing suitable for each scanning frequency.
