Abstract

See full text

A microprocessor based TV/TTX processor includes a stored pages ROM in the TTX processor for storing on-screen display messages and lists of functions and characteristics as pages of TTX data. An RGB switch is coupled to receive the output of a character generator in the TTX processor and to receive the video output of the TV for selectively displaying information from each source with or without the on-screen messages and lists. The stored pages ROM relieves the microprocessor of the necessity of generating the on-screen messages and lists. Items on the list are controllable by the viewer and an indication of the status of the item is given by the microprocessor changing a character in the display memory of the TTX processor.
