Input Detection Device For Lower Stand-By Power Consumption

摘要

Method and electrical device (1) having a first and second SCART inputs (2,3) for connection to a first and second electrical device, said device (1) comprising a Power Supply Unit (8), an Audio and Video Switching Circuit section (4) and a Video Buffer and Filter section (5) to allow for SCART Loop Through functionality. The electrical consumer device (1) additionally comprises a VCR-input detection and power control section (7) to monitor the stand-by mode operation of said device (1) and the connection of the first electrical device, and switching means (X1) to switch off said Video Buffer and Filter section (5) when both conditions of Stand-by mode of said device (1) and lack of connection of the first electrical device are met at the same time.
