Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a choice of plural TV signals by multiplying the plural TV signals and layout information to edit them at the transmission, dividing a multiplex signal into the TV signal and layout information at the time of the reception, and synthesizing them into one TV signal according to the layout information. CONSTITUTION:The TV signal transmitter is constructed by TV cameras 1002, 1004, 1006, 1008 being TV signal output means, a multiplexer 1012 with a layout setting means 1010 connected, and a transmission antenna 1014. The TV signals from the plural cameras and the 1st layout information prepared by the means 1010 are multiplexed by the device 1012, which are received by the antenna 1014. The receiver is constructed by a reception antenna 1020, and a TV reception means 1022, picture synthesizing means 1026, and monitor 1028 which are connected with a layout setting means 1024. One synthesizing signal is obtained from the 1st layout information contained in a reception signal and the 2nd layout information from the means 1024 and displayed on the monitor 1028.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention receives a television signal in which a plurality of video signals and layout information are multiplexed, and selects a plurality of television signals based on the layout information and synthesizes and displays them on one screen. The present invention relates to a television signal display method and an apparatus thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a broadcasting station has decided the layout of a screen for television broadcasting. For example, when relaying at the same location with multiple cameras, the broadcasting station selects only the one used for broadcasting from the multiple television signals output by multiple cameras, and expands only the selected television signal.・ Broadcasting was performed after performing edit processing such as reduction and movement and combining them into one screen.

[0003]

Conventionally, a broadcasting station has decided the selection of television signals used for television broadcasting. Therefore, the viewer could not see the video that was discarded by the broadcasting station. As described above, there is a problem that the viewer cannot participate in the selection of the video and always has to passively watch the television broadcast.

An object of the present invention is to receive a plurality of television signals in which layout information is multiplexed, select a plurality of television signals based on the layout information, and perform a composite display on one screen. It is to provide a display device.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a multiplexed signal obtained by multiplexing a plurality of television signals and first layout information for editing the plurality of television signals is received. Receiving means, separating means for separating the multiplexed signal into a television signal and first layout information, layout setting means on the receiving side for outputting second layout information, and the plurality of separated plurality of parts. An image synthesizing means for synthesizing a television signal into one television signal according to at least one of the first or second layout information; and a monitor for displaying the synthesized television signal. It was done.

[0006]

On the broadcasting station side, the television signals obtained from the plurality of video output means are not discarded and are broadcast to the receiving side. The television receiving means on the receiving side outputs a plurality of television signals broadcast by the broadcasting station. Then, when synthesizing into one screen based on the layout information, the television signal that is not the display target is discarded for the first time. That is, the receiving means receives a multiplexed signal obtained by multiplexing a plurality of television signals and first layout information for editing the plurality of television signals. The separating means separates the multiplexed signal into a television signal and first layout information. The layout setting means on the receiving side outputs the second layout information. The image synthesizing means synthesizes the plurality of separated television signals into one television signal by using at least one of the first or second layout information. The monitor displays the synthesized television signal.

[0007]
