Remote control generator for pre-programming video recorder - has read=out unit registering pre-printed programme information signals

摘要

The generator has a keyboard to enter instructions, to which an instruction-converting processor is coupled to provide corresp. coded signals. The coded signals are transmitted to a receiver in the video recorder. A read-out unit registers pre-printed programme information signals. The read-out signals are evaluated for the video recorder pre-programming, and the coded signals are transmitted to the video recorder. The evaluation is carried out in an alphanumeric form. The processor pref. generates a coded signal from the read-out information signal. The evaluator may be a processor, controlling the remote control generator, on the video recorder. ADVANTAGE - No need for complicated keyboard input, bar code or video text use, thus avoiding human error or doubt.
