G 8133974.7 -ist eine Fernsehempfangsanlage im Komponentenbauweisevorgeschlagen worden, bei der u.a. eine separate Empfangsteil-Komponente mit mehrerenHK/?F-Empfangseinhe-it'en zur Anwendung kommt.G 8133974.7 -is a television reception system in component constructionhas been proposed in which, inter alia, a separate receiving part component with severalHK /? F receiving units is used.
Zusammen mit den weiteren Bildprogrammquellen einer solchen Anlage,nämlich den Komponenten Bildaufzeichnungs- und Wiedergabegerät und ggfls. Bildplattenspieler,sowie einer Videokamera, stehen damit 3 bis 5 B-ildprogramme zur Wahl. Diese sindjeweils al Video (FBAS-)Signal und Ton- (NF)-Signal verfügbar, jedoch kommt nurdi jeweils ausgewihlte Quelle über den Biidwiedergabemonitor bzw. die zugehörigenLautsprecherboxen zur Wiedergabe.Together with the other image program sources of such a system,namely the components image recording and playback device and, if applicable. Video record player,as well as a video camera, there are 3 to 5 image programs to choose from. These areeach al video (FBAS) signal and audio (NF) signal available, but only comesdi each selected source via the image playback monitor or the associatedLoudspeaker boxes for playback.
Die Erfindung befaßt sich mit der Aufgabe; die verfügbare Programmvielfaltdieser Anlage in größerem Umfang auszunutzen, als es bisher erfolgt, und darüberhinaus neben erheblichen Einsparungen zugleich noch die Handhabung zu vereinfachen-undden Serviceaufwand zu verringern.The invention is concerned with the problem; the variety of programs availableto take advantage of this facility to a greater extent than has previously been the case, and abovein addition to considerable savings at the same time to simplify the handling andto reduce service costs.
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Audio-Videc--Heimanlage mit separatemBildmonitor und Läutsprecherboxen und mit einem Empfangs- und Programmqucll en-Zentrumin Komponenten-Bauweise, bestehend aus den Komponontetl TV-Audio-Empfangsteil, HiFi-NF-Verstärker,Video-Recorder und/oder Bilplattspieier sowie bedarfsweise HiFi-Cassettenrecorderund/oder HiFi-Plattenspieler und hat zum Gegenstand, daß vom Empfangs- und ProgrammquellenzentrummehrereBildmonitore und/oder Lautsprecherboxen wahlweise mit dengleichen oder verschiedenen Bild- und/oder Tonprogrammen versorgt werden.The invention relates to an audio Videc - home system with a separateImage monitor and loudspeaker boxes and with a reception and program source centerin component construction, consisting of the components TV audio receiver, hi-fi audio amplifier,Video recorder and / or bilateral player and, if necessary, hi-fi cassette recorderand / or HiFi record player and has the object that of the reception and program source centerseveralImage monitors and / or loudspeaker boxes optionally with thethe same or different picture and / or sound programs are supplied.
Für die Signalaufbereitung der verschiedenen Programmquellen d.h.der mindestens 2 Fernsehsignale und der auf Band oder Platte gespeicherten Informationbis zur Video (FBAS)- und Ton (NF)-Signalebene ist ein erheblicher elektronischerAufwand erforderlich. Bei den im Unterhaltungsbereich bisher bekannten Geräte- undknlagenkonzeptionen kommt jeweils nur e?ne Programmquelle zur Wiedergabe, d?hg diefür die Signalaufbe-' reitung der übrigen Programmquellen erforderl'ichen elektronischenFunktionsgruppen bleiben während des größten Teiles der Betriebszeit unbenutzt.For the signal processing of the various program sources i.e.the at least 2 television signals and the information stored on tape or diskup to the video (FBAS) and sound (NF) signal level is a considerable electronic oneEffort required. With the devices and devices known so far in the entertainment sectorcontrol conceptions, only one program source is played back, i.e. thefor the signal processing of the other program sources necessary electronicFunction groups remain unused for most of the operating time.
Mit der erfindungsgemä'ßen Ausgestaltung einer Fernsehempfangs-undVideo-Anlage als simultan arbeitende Zentrale zur Wiedergabe verschiedener Bild-und Tpnprogramme über eine entsprechende Anzahl von Monitore für Bild und Ton wirddie Bilanz zwischen Nutzen und Aufwand hier deutlich verbessert.With the embodiment according to the invention of a television reception andVideo system as a simultaneously working center for the reproduction of different imageand Tpnprogramme is on a corresponding number of monitors for picture and soundthe balance between benefit and effort is significantly improved here.
Ebenfalls vorteilhaft beider erfindungsgem.ißen Anordnung ist derFortfall einer auf mehrere Raume verzweigten kntennenverkabelung, die bekanntlichstets zu Qualitätsverlusten bzw.The arrangement according to the invention is also advantageousDiscontinuation of a cabling branching out to several rooms, which is well knownalways leads to a loss of quality or
einer Verringerung des Signal-Rauschabstandes führt. Demgegenüberbringt die erforderliche videoseitige Signalverkabelung keine derartigen Qualitatsnachteile.Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung liegt darin, daß die Bildmonitore und/oder Lautsprecherboxenin verschiedenen Riiumerl und vom Standort der A-V-Heimanlage unabhångig angeordnetsind.leads to a reduction in the signal-to-noise ratio. In contrastthe required video-side signal cabling does not bring any such quality disadvantages.A further development of the invention is that the picture monitors and / or loudspeaker boxesArranged in different rooms and independent of the location of the A-V home systemare.
Die zentrale Programmverteilung auf mehrere Räume erfordert zwar einedefinierte ProgrammauswahL und eine gewisse Festlegung für die betreffenden Sendungen.Dieser Umstand kannjedoch durchaus als Vorteil gesehen werden -im Sinne einer bewußten und positiven Nutzung des ständig wachsenden Informationsangebotesunter Vermeidung einer planlosen Reizüberflutung.The central program distribution over several rooms requires oneDefined program selection and a certain stipulation for the relevant programs.This fact canbut can be seen as an advantage -in the sense of a conscious and positive use of the constantly growing range of informationwhile avoiding a haphazard sensory overload.
Dieser Vorteil tritt besonders hervor, wenn z.B. Kinderzimmer mitselektierten Programmen versorgt werden sollen, zugleich aber der beliebige undunkontrollierte Zugriff zu anderen Programmen den Kindern verwehrt bleiben soll.This advantage is particularly evident if, for example, a child's room is withselected programs should be supplied, but at the same time any andUncontrolled access to other programs should be denied to children.
Für die individuelle Einstellung von Helligkeit und Lautstärke inden sekundär versorgten Räumen bestehen verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Vorzugsweisekann der Verteilanschluß für die Entnahme des Video- und NF-Signals mit zusatzlichenEinstellreglern zumindest für Helligkeit und Lautstärke ausgerüstet werden, bedarfsweiseauch mit weiteren Einstellreglern. Daneben kommt auch eine entsprechende Ausrüstungvon Bildmonitor und Lautsprecherboxen mit den für unerläßlich erachteten Regelorganeninfrage. Dabei erscheint andererseits äußerste Beschränkung geboten, um den Aufwandin der Grundausstattung der Bildmonitore und Lautsprecherboxen klein zu halten.For the individual adjustment of brightness and volume inThere are various options for the rooms with secondary supplies. Preferablythe distribution connection for the extraction of the video and audio signals can also be usedAdjustment controls are equipped at least for brightness and volume, if necessaryalso with further adjustment controls. In addition, there is also appropriate equipmentof picture monitor and loudspeaker boxes with the regulating organs considered indispensablein question. On the other hand, it seems to be necessary to limit the effortto keep the basic equipment of the picture monitors and loudspeaker boxes small.
Eine andere Erfindungsweiterbildung beinhaltet, daß die Bildmonitorezusätzlich mit einem Anzeigedisplay und/oder einem Hilfslautsprecher versehen sind.Another development of the invention involves the image monitorsare additionally provided with a display and / or an auxiliary loudspeaker.

quellenanzeige werden diesbeziigtiche Rückfragen am Ort des Programmquellenzentrumsverm'i.eden, die erfahrungsgemäß im Verlauf einer längeren Benutzungszeit häufigaufkommen. Mit dem Hilfslautsprecher im Bildmonitor wird erreicht, daß auch ohneVorhandensein separaterLautsprecherboxen, zumindestens monophon eine vollständigeÜbertragung von Video- (FBÄS)-S-ignal und Ton (-NF)-Signal erfolgen kann. Der ggfls.dazu erforderliche NF-Le i stutigsverstärker kann entwesier im Bildmonitor selbstoder aber auch im ProgrammqL1el enzntrum untergebracht sein.BeiBenutzung getrennter Lautsprecherboxen wird alternativ vorgeschlagen, diese al Aktiv-Lautsprecherauszubilden, die auch den Lautstärkesteller und evtl. weitere Einstellregler enthalten.Queries regarding this will be made at the location of the program source centeravoid that, experience has shown, often over the course of a longer period of usecome up. With the auxiliary loudspeaker in the picture monitor is achieved that even withoutPresence of separate loudspeaker boxes, at least one complete monophonicTransmission of video (FBÄS) -S-ignal and sound (-NF) signal can take place. The possibly.The audio amplifier required for this can deesier in the image monitor itselfor it can also be accommodated in the program element.atThe use of separate loudspeaker boxes is suggested as an alternative, these al active loudspeakerstrain, which also contain the volume control and possibly other adjustment controls.
Die folgende Weiterbildung betrifft eine Audio-Video-Heimanlage derzuvor beschriebenen Art, jedoch mit Fernbedienung.The following development relates to an audio-video home system frompreviously described, but with remote control.
Die Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt darin1 daß in den nur mit Bildmonitorund/oder Lautsprecherboxen ausgestatteten Räumen je ein weiterer Fernbedienungsempfängervorgesehen und über Kabel mit dem Fernbedienungsdecoder des Empfangs-und Programmquellen-Zentrumsverhunden ist. The embodiment of the invention is that in the only with a picture monitorand / or loudspeaker boxes equipped rooms each have a further remote control receiverprovided and via cable with the remote control decoder of the reception and program source centeris married.
Nach der DOS 2917078 i;t bereits bekannt, mit einer Hi--Fi-Anlagemehrere mit weiteren Lautsprechern ausgestattete-Räume zu versorgen und in den weiterenRäume. zusätzliche Fernbedienempfänger vorzusehen, die mit dem Fernbedienempfangerder zentralen Hi-Fi-Anlage parallel geschaltet sind. Die Hi-Fiw Anlage kann somitauch von den weitere, nur mit Lautsprechern ausgestatteten Raume aus fernbedientwerden.According to DOS 2917078 i; t already known with a hi-fi systemto supply several rooms equipped with further loudspeakers and in the othersSpaces. additional remote control receivers to be provided with the remote control receiverconnected in parallel to the central hi-fi system. The hi-fi system can thusalso remotely controlled from the other rooms, which are only equipped with loudspeakerswill.
Im hier vorliegenden Fall wird die Funktion der Fernbedienung vorschlagsweiseso erweitert, daß nicht nur eine parallele, alternative Fernbedienung ermöglichtwird, sondern daß in den weiteren Räumen auch unterschiedliche Programme ausgewähltund hinsichtlich der Bild- und Tonqualitat voneinander unabhangig fernbedienbareingestellt werden können. Dabei wird vorausgesetzt, dan das Empfangs- und Progrmmquellen-Zentrummit den erforderlichen Signal-Verstarkern für Bild und Ton ausgestattet ist. In the present case, the function of the remote control is suggestedso expanded that not only enables a parallel, alternative remote controlbut that different programs are selected in the other roomsand independently remote controllable in terms of picture and sound qualitycan be adjusted. It is assumed that the reception and program source centeris equipped with the necessary signal amplifiers for picture and sound.
Des weiteren wird vorschlagsweise von einer mit Mikroprozessorengesteuerten Fernbedienung ausgegangen, die sich überschneidende Befehle aus mehrerenRäumen im Detail nacheinander verarbeitet, infolge der hohen Taktfolge jedoch praktischgleichzeitig die Ausführung bewerkstelligt. Furthermore, it is proposed to use one with microprocessorscontrolled remote control assumed the overlapping commands from severalRooms processed in detail one after the other, but practical due to the high cycle rateat the same time accomplished the execution.
Darüberhinaus wird vorgeschlagen, dan die weiteren Fernbedienempfängerin den nur mit Bildmonitor und/oder Lautsprecherboxen ausgestatteten Räumen in denjeweiligen Bildmonitor oder eine der Lautspreclerboxen integriert sind. Mit dieserMaßnahme ergibt sich außer der damit verbundenen Platzerspa rn is eine einfachereVerkabelung zum Empfangs- und Programmquellen-Zentrum im Hauptraum.In addition, it is proposed to use the other remote control receiversin the rooms only equipped with a video monitor and / or loudspeaker boxes in therespective picture monitor or one of the loudspeaker boxes are integrated. With thisIn addition to the associated space saving, the result is a simpler oneCabling to the reception and source center in the main room.
Eine ander Erfindungsweiterbildung hat zum Gegenstand, daß eine derKnmponenten einen zusätzlichen Bildmonitor und/oder Hilfslautsprecher enthält, derfür die Programmüberwachung der auf verschiedene Räume verteilten Bild- und/odarTonprogrammc genutzt wird. Es ist zwar ohne weiteres möglich, eine etwa gewunschteProgrammuberwachung vom Ort des Empfangs-und Programm(luellerl-Zentrumt aus in derWeise vorzunehmen, daß in diesem Raum auf die gleiche Programmquelle umgeschaltetwird, die in dem zu überwachenden Raum eingeschaltet ist. Dabei wird zwangsläufigdas ggfls. abweichende, aber gewünschte Programm unterbrochen.Another development of the invention has the object that one of theComponent contains an additional picture monitor and / or auxiliary loudspeaker, thefor the program monitoring of the image and / or odar distributed in different roomsTonprogrammc is used. It is possible without further ado, a desired oneProgram monitoring from the location of the reception and program (luellerl center in theWay to make that switched to the same program source in this roomthat is switched on in the room to be monitored. Doing so will inevitablythe possibly. different but desired program interrupted.
Mit dem vorgeschlagenen, zusätzlichen Bildmonitor bzw. Hilfslautsprecher,der in eine der Komponenten des Empfangs- und Programmquellen-Zentrums integriertsein kann, wird dieser Nachteil vermieden. Im übrigen ergibt sich der Vorteil, daßdie Überwachung, zumindest vidoseitig, ständig bestehen bleiben kann, ohne den regulärenEmpfang zu stören.With the suggested, additional picture monitor or auxiliary loudspeaker,which is integrated into one of the components of the reception and program source centerthis disadvantage is avoided. In addition, there is the advantage thatthe surveillance, at least on the video side, can remain constant without the regular oneTo disrupt reception.
Die weitere Ausgetaltung der Erfindung bezieht sich auf-das neue Mediumder Text-Kommunikation wie z.B. Bildschirmtext und äquivalente Dienste. Der Inhaltdieses Vorschlages liegt darin, daß in das Empfangs- und Progr;tmmquellenZ'entrumeine weitere Komponente für die passive und bedarfsweise aktive' Textkommunikationeingefügt ist, welche sowohl die Decodiereinrichtung fur den Text empfang als auchbedarfsweise eine Eingabetastatur, einen Drucker und einen zusiitzlichen Bildmonitorenthalt.The further embodiment of the invention relates to the new mediumtext communication such as screen text and equivalent services. The contentThis suggestion is that in the reception and program source centerAnother component for passive and, if necessary, active 'text communicationis inserted, which both the decoder for the text received andif necessary an input keyboard, a printer and an additional image monitorcontains.
Zumindest in der Einführungsphase der neuen Text-Kommunikationsdienstebietet ihre Integration in das Empfangs und Programmquellen-Zentrum der erfindungsgemäßenAudio-'VideoHeimanlage den Vorteil erhebl i cher Kosteneinsparung, da die vorhandenenFurlktionscinheiten wie z.B. der Bildmonitor alternativ mit benutzt werden können.Die weitere Komponente mit der zusätzlichen Elektronik läßt s-ich sowohl funktionellals auch designseitig problemlos in das Empfangs- und Programmquellen-Zentrum einfügen.Bei dessen Ausführung als Rack bietet sich an, die Eingabetastatur ggfls. zusammenmit dem zusätz ichen Monitor zusammenzufassen und an oberster Position bedichungsgünstigzu plazieren.At least in the introductory phase of the new text communication servicesoffers their integration in the reception and program source center of the inventionAudio and video home systems have the advantage of considerable cost savings as the existingFunctional units such as the image monitor can also be used as an alternative.The other components with the additional electronics are functional as welland can be easily integrated into the reception and program source center on the design side.When it is designed as a rack, it is advisable to use the input keyboard. togetherto be combined with the additional monitor and in the uppermost position for easy accessto place.
Bei einer so erweiterten Anlage wird ferner voryeschlagen, daß derfür die Textkommunikation bedarfsweise vorhandene zusätzliche Bildmonitor zugleichzwar die Überwachung der auf verschiedene Raume verteilten Bildprogramme benutztwird. Da weder die Textkommunikatiot, noch die Programmüberwachung eine etwa mitdem regulären Fernseh/Video-Betrieb v.ergleichbara Nutzungszeit erreichen wird,erscheint es sintlvoll, auf separate, zusätzliche Monitore hier zu vrzichten.In the case of such an expanded system, it is also suggested that thefor text communication, if necessary, additional image monitor is also availableused to monitor the image programs distributed across different roomswill. Since neither the text communication nor the program monitoring have anything to do withwill reach the regular television / video operation v. comparable usage time,it seems sensible to do without separate, additional monitors here.
Weitere Merkmale der erfindungsgemäßen Audio-Video-Heimanlage beziehensich auf Konstruktion und Design. Diesbezüglich ist vorgesehen, daß die Einzelkomponentenmit geeigneten konstruktiven Einrichtungerl derart versehen sind, daß sie sowohlnebeneinander als auch übereinarlder form- oder kraftschlüssig kombinierbar sind,und daß außerdem durch die Formgebung das Zusammenwirken der in den Komponenterlverfügbaren Medien hervorgehoben wird.Refer to other features of the audio-video home system according to the inventionfocus on construction and design. In this regard, it is provided that the individual componentsare provided with suitable structural devices such that they bothnext to each other as well as on top of each other, which can be combined positively or non-positively,and that also the interaction of the components in the componentsavailable media is highlighted.
Die Vielzahl der funktionell unterschiedlichen Komponenten aus denBereichen Fernsehen, Video, HiFi und Text-Kommunikationen erfordert entsprechendklar gegliederte und flexibel gestaltete konstruktive Maßnahmen, um ZU einer technischüberschaubarenund den unterschiedlichen Gestaltungswünschen entsprechenden-Lösungzu kommen. Das betrifft vor allem entsprechende Passungsvorrichtungen sowohl anDecke und Boden, als auch an den Seitenwänden der Komponenten, damit je nach derGesamtanzahl der verwendeten Komponenten eine optisch ansprechende Positionierungnebeneinander oder/und übereinander gewählt werden kann. Dabei wird die Übersichtdurch entsprechende Frontgestaltung unter Bezug auf die verschiedenen Medien inder Weise verbessert, dan die Bedienelemente, funktionell auf die Frontflächen verteiltud die Signalverläufe erkennbar sind.The multitude of functionally different components from theTelevision, video, hi-fi and text communications requires accordinglyclearly structured and flexibly designed constructive measures in order to achieve a technicalmanageableand a solution corresponding to the different design requirementsget. This applies above all to the corresponding fitting devicesCeiling and floor, as well as on the side walls of the components, depending on theTotal number of components used, a visually appealing positioningnext to each other and / or above each other can be selected. Thereby the overviewthrough appropriate front design with reference to the various media inthe way it is improved, because the controls are functionally distributed over the front surfacesud the signal curves are recognizable.
Als weitere Variante ist vorgesehen, daß die Einzelkomponenten hinsichtlichihrer Bedien- und Einstellfunktionen durch-eine gemeinsame Abdeckung zusammengefaßtsind.As a further variant, it is provided that the individual components with regard totheir operating and setting functions combined by a common coverare.
Eine gemeinsame Abdeckung mehrerer Komponenten erscheint be-" sondersdann sinnvoll, wenn eine bestimmte Ausbaustufe der Anlage fest vorgegeben ist undder Charakter als kompakte Geräteeinheit betont werden soll. Die dann möglich, einfacherekonstruktive Ausführung der entsprechenden Komponenten ohne Einzelfronten ermöglichtentsprechende Einsparungen.A common coverage of several components appears to be specialmakes sense if a certain expansion stage of the system is fixed andthe character as a compact device unit should be emphasized. The simpler ones then possibleconstructive execution of the corresponding components without individual fronts enablescorresponding savings.
