Definitions
- the invention relates to a receiver for digital TV signals according to the preamble of claim 1 and a remote control for this receiver.
- Such a receiver which is usually referred to as a set-top box, is preferably used in a multimedia landscape for receiving digital TV signals.
- the set-top box has a return channel which is connected to an analog or digital telephone network via a telephone connection line.
- the price for an integrated color screen is high for a dedicated videophone that has been purchased for video telephony.
- the object of the invention is to simplify video telephony, in particular with regard to the wiring effort.
- the single figure shows a receiver STB for digital TV signals, a so-called set-top box.
- the receiver STB has a cable connection KA and a connection for a satellite antenna SA.
- the cable connection KA is connected to a cable tuner KT, and the connection for a satellite antenna SA to a satellite tuner ST.
- the digital TV signals received in the tuners KT and ST are fed to a demodulator DM, the output signals of which are applied to an MPEG decoder DC.
- digital audio and video data A, V are obtained, which are passed to an interface SS via a digital-analog converter DA.
- This interface SS can be implemented, for example, by a Scart connection.
- the now analog TV signals are fed from the interface SS directly or indirectly via a video recorder VTR to a television set TV.
- the MPEG decoder DC is connected to a microprocessor P.
- the microprocessor P which can also be implemented by a digital signal processor, data for an operator interface are obtained from the decoded digital TV signals. These data, like the video data V, are transmitted via the digital analog converter DA and
- Interface SS ultimately shown on the screen of the TV TV as a user interface.
- the user can react, for example, menu-driven, with the help of the user interface shown on the screen, and give feedback, for example, via a wireless remote control FB, to the receiver STB.
- the receiver STB has, for example, a remote control receiver FE, which is also connected to the microprocessor P.
- the remote control signals received via the remote control receiver FE are converted in the microprocessor P into unspecified data for a return channel.
- This data is given to a telephone connection TA, for example via a modem MD to an analog telephone network a / b, or via an ISDN interface ID to a digital telephone network ISDN.
- the receiver STB for digital TV signals has additional devices for carrying out the video telephony.
- an analog-digital converter AD is provided in the receiver STB, for example, which is connected to the processor P.
- An external video camera VK can be connected to the analog-digital converter AD.
- an external microphone MK can also be connected to the analog-digital converter AD.
- the video signals VD from the video camera VK and the audio signals AD of the microphone MK are given to the telephone connection TA via the analog-digital converter AD, the processor P and either via the modem MD or via the ISDN interface ID.
- the video camera VK and the microphone MK are connected to the analog telephone network a / b via the modem MD, and to the digital telephone network ISDN via the ISDN interface ID.
- the modem MD and / or the ISDN interface ID are designed bidirectionally in the receiver STB according to the invention.
- the audio and video data AD, VD present at the telephone connection TA from the external telephone network reach the processor P via the modem or via the ISDN interface ID.
- the processor P outputs this audio and video data AD, VD via the digital Analog converter DA to the interface SS.
- the received analog and video data AD, VD are ultimately on the TV screen shown on TV and played through its built-in speakers.
- the audio data AD can also be reproduced via an external loudspeaker LP.
- the video camera VK and the microphone MK can be connected to the receiver STB can also be done wirelessly.
- the external loudspeaker LP can also be connected wirelessly in order to reproduce the received audio data AD or signals.
- the microphone MK is integrated in the remote control FB.
- the remote control FB is used in a manner known per se to control the receiver STB.
- the audio data AD recorded by the microphone are passed on to the processor P via the remote control receiver FE already present in the receiver STB. This gives this audio data AD in a known manner via the modem MD or the ISDN interface ID to the telephone connection TA.
- the remote control FB can also have a loudspeaker LP.
- the audio data AD received via the telephone connection TA reach the remote control FB, and thus the loudspeaker LP, via the modem MD or the ISDN interface ID, the processor P and an additional transmission device SE to be provided in the receiver STB.
- the video camera VK can be integrated in the receiver STB.
- the microphone MK can, as already stated, be integrated in the remote control FB, or it can also be integrated in the receiver STB itself.
- the microphone MK is then used, preferably using the hands-free device.
- connection of the receiver STB for digital TV signals to an external telephone network can be implemented via an antenna cable, for example via the connection SA for a satellite antenna.
