An environment information providing method, a video apparatus and a video system using the same are provided. The environment information is generated and inserted in between packets of a video stream. Accordingly, a user can watch the video in an environment similar to the reproduced video.

Environment information providing method, video apparatus and video system using the same

An image receiving apparatus for transmitting data to and receiving data from a removable PVR device, and a data transmission and reception method thereof are disclosed. The image receiving apparatus includes an interface which transmits AV data and data corresponding to user commands to an external recording device, and a controller which inserts the data corresponding to the user commands into a stream containing the AV data and transmits the stream to the external recording device through the interface. Therefore, the general-purpose communication lines and data lines may be simplified so that the AV data can be easily stored and reproduced in a removable (hard disk drive) HDD.

Image receiving apparatus for transmitting data to and receiving data from removable PVR device and data transmission and reception method thereof

A digital electronic device capable of memory formatting, a method for memory formatting, and a digital electronic device having a storing function and a storing method thereof are provided. The memory stores data, and the control unit formats the memory such that the memory includes a plurality of storage regions which store the data, a basic information region which stores basic information regarding the data, and a plurality of supplemental information regions which periodically store supplemental information updated according to the storing of the data.

Digital electronic device capable of memory formatting, a method of memory formatting, digital electronic device having a function of storing and method for storing thereof

A display apparatus is provided that comprises an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter for converting an analog image signal containing additional information into digital data in accordance with a digital format, a vertical blanking interval (VBI) data processor for extracting VBI data corresponding to the additional information from the digital data input from the A/D converter, and a controller for decoding the extracted VBI data into additional information display data for displaying.

Display apparatus and signal processing method thereof

A method and apparatus to manage recorded broadcasting programs, in which a list of each of the recorded programs is automatically generated using electronic program guide (EPG) information for more efficient management of the recorded programs. The method includes: (a) detecting information on a starting time and an ending time for recording when a recording mode is enabled; (b) extracting information on programs included between the starting time and the ending time, respectively, from electronic program guide (EPG) information, and (c) storing the information extracted in step (b) in a file allocation table (FAT) to be matched with information on recording time and locations of corresponding programs recorded in a recording unit.

Method and apparatus for managing a list of recorded broadcasting programs

A remote control device that can increase the convenience of a user, a display processing apparatus having the same and a method of driving the same are provided. The remote control device has a moving object and a vibration member generating a vibration. If a vibration is generated as the moving object moves, the remote control generates a signal in response to a moving path of the moving object. The remote control provides the generated signal to an electric device so as to remotely control the electric device. Accordingly, a user can operate the remote control only by moving the remote control so that the user's convenience is increased.

Remote control device, image processing apparatus having the same and method of driving the same

A method for recording and reproducing data, and more particularly, a method for recording and reproducing audio/video data in the disk drive where, if an error occurs in performing an audio/video data recording and reproducing process, a sector where the error occurs is detected to perform a defect process, and a computer-readable recording medium therefor, are provided. If an error occurs while the audio/video data is being recorded or reproduced by the hard disk drive, the method includes processing bad sectors by the defect process, controlling the hard disk drive to continuously perform audio/video data recording or reproducing for the sectors following the bad sector, so that it is possible to perform real-time recording or reproducing of audio/video data while maintaining continuity of the data, even when errors occur. In particular, it is possible to prevent an A/V processor from stopping when an error occurs.

Method for recording and reproducing audio and video data in disk drive, and a readable medium therefor

An apparatus and method for automatically detecting a display mode to be used in a serial data interface (SDI) of a decoded video signal is provided. The apparatus for detecting a display mode includes a mode detector which detects a predetermined display mode by counting clock pulses generated between a present horizontal synchronous signal and a next horizontal synchronous signal from input decoded video signals, and a signal processing unit which converts formats of the decoded video signals so as to correspond to a display mode detected by the mode detector, serializes and outputs the decoded video signal. By deleting a control signal indicating a display mode, a control signal that does not coincide with processed data as a result of an incorrectly or incompatibly designed controller can be prevented.
