PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disclose a method for displaying OSD of recorder/player status messages. SOLUTION: The absence of MPEG processing in a consumer digital recorder/player may preclude on-screen message display (OSD) of recorder status. A first embodiment returns a reproduced decoded, analog video signal (102) to a digital recorder/player (200) for insertion of status messages. In a further embodiment, recorder message data (221) are coupled to a digital signal decoder (100, 117, 520) for inclusion with the decoded analog video signal (102). In another embodiment, a recorder message command (TAG/CMD) is coupled to the decoder (100, 510) to access recorder specific graphical messages. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
