Audio Signal Delay Method in Satellite Broadcast Receiver

The present invention relates to a satellite broadcast receiver, and more particularly, to a method of delaying an audio signal using a memory in a satellite broadcast receiver.

Conventionally, when a satellite broadcast is viewed, the screen is different from the satellite passing through the voice, so that the voice is received faster than the screen, which causes inconvenience in viewing.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, the audio signal may be delayed when the audio signal is received faster than the video signal due to the difference between the video signal and the satellite via the audio signal when watching a satellite broadcast. The purpose is to provide a method.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises the steps of (a) receiving a satellite broadcast signal; (b) detecting video and audio signals in the received satellite broadcast signal; (c) extracting video and audio signals at predetermined time intervals from the detected video and audio signals; (d) converting the extracted video and audio signals at predetermined time intervals into digital signals, respectively; (e) determining whether the audio signal was received earlier than the video signal based on the digital video and audio signals; (f) delaying the received video signal by a predetermined time when the audio signal is received earlier than the video signal in step (e); (g) determining whether the delayed audio signal was received earlier than the video signal; And (h) step (g) controlling a delay time of the audio signal when the delayed audio signal is received earlier than the video signal. .

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 shows a configuration of a video signal delay apparatus in a satellite broadcast receiver according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The video signal delay device includes a tuner 102, a video detector 104, an audio detector 106, a first sampling circuit 108, a second sampling circuit 110, and a first analog / digital converter; A / D, 112, second A / D converter 114, controller 116, memory 118, first digital / analog (D / A) converter 120, and second D / A converter 122 is included.

Tuner 102 receives satellite broadcast signals. The video detector 104 detects the video signal from the satellite broadcast signal received by the tuner 102. The audio detector 106 detects the audio signal from the satellite broadcast signal received by the tuner 102.

The first sampling circuit 108 extracts a video signal of a predetermined time interval from the video signal detected by the video detector 104. The second sampling circuit 110 extracts an audio signal of a predetermined time interval from the audio signal detected by the audio detector 104.

The first A / D converter 112 converts the video signal of the predetermined time interval extracted by the first sampling circuit 108 into a digital signal. The second A / D converter 114 converts the audio signal of the predetermined time interval extracted by the second sampling circuit 110 into a digital signal.

The controller 116 determines whether the audio signal is received earlier than the video signal based on the digital video and audio signals. In this case, when the audio signal is received earlier than the video signal, the controller 116 delays the received audio signal by a predetermined time. That is, the controller 116 stores the received audio signal in the memory 118. The controller 116 outputs an audio signal stored in the memory 118 after a time elapsed between a reception time difference between the video and audio signals. The controller 116 determines whether the delayed audio signal is received earlier than the video signal. In this case, when the delayed audio signal is received earlier than the video signal, the controller 116 increases the delay time of the audio signal.

The first D / A converter 120 converts the video signal from the controller 116 into an analog signal. The second D / A converter 122 converts the audio signal from the controller 118 into an analog signal.

Hereinafter, a video signal delay method in a satellite broadcast receiver according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 illustrates an audio signal delay method in a satellite broadcast receiver according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In step S101, the tuner 102 receives the satellite broadcast signal. In step S102, video and audio detectors 104 and 106 detect video and audio signals, respectively, in the satellite broadcast signal received by the tuner 102. In step S103, the first and second sampling circuits 108 and 110 extract video and audio signals at predetermined time intervals from the video and audio signals detected by the video and audio detectors 104 and 106, respectively. do. In step S104, the first and second A / D converters 112 and 114 perform digital and video signals at predetermined time intervals extracted by the first and second sampling circuits 108 and 110, respectively. Convert to

In step S105, the control unit 116 determines whether the audio signal is received earlier than the video signal based on the digital video and audio signals from the first and second A / D converters 112 and 114. do. As a result of the determination in step S105, all the operations are terminated when the audio signal is received simultaneously with the video signal. Alternatively, when the audio signal is received earlier than the video signal, the controller 116 stores the received audio signal in the memory 118 (step S106). In step S107, the control unit 116 outputs the audio signal after the elapse of the time difference between the reception time of the video and audio signals based on the determination result of step 105. In step S108, the controller 116 determines whether the delayed audio signal is received earlier than the video signal. As a result of the determination in step S108, when the delayed audio signal is received simultaneously with the video signal, all the operations are terminated. Alternatively, if the delayed audio signal is received earlier than the video signal, the controller 116 increases the delay time of the audio signal (step S109) and the processing routine returns to step S108.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the audio signal is received faster than the video signal due to the difference between the satellite via the screen and the audio when watching the satellite broadcast, the audio and video signals are delayed to be output simultaneously.
