An electronic component with a metal terminal includes a plurality of electronic components each including an element body and a pair of external electrodes provided on each of a pair of end surfaces facing each other in an X direction in the element body, and disposed in a Y direction, and a pair of plate-shaped metal terminals each including a plurality of joint portions to which external electrodes of the plurality of electronic components are joined, and a leg portion provided to protrude further than the electronic component in a Z direction, wherein a portion of the metal terminal that extends in the Y direction to straddle the plurality of joint portions is an easily deformable portion made of a second metal material having a Young's modulus smaller than that of a first metal material constituting the other portion.

An image compositing apparatus of the present invention includes first overlay image processing circuitry that stores the position and size of an area in which a first overlay image is displayed and, according thereto, changes the position and size of the first overlay image, second overlay image processing circuitry that processes a second overlay image similarly to the first overlay image processing circuitry, a circuit for detecting the absence of base image that decides the presence or absence of a base image, and a chromakey decision circuitry that decides a chromakey color portion of the base image. In a case where the circuit for detecting the absence of base image decides the absence of a base image, the image compositing apparatus outputs the first and second overlay images processed by the first overlay image processing circuitry and the second overlay image processing circuitry, respectively.

Apparatus and method for image compositing based on detected presence or absence of base image

A video reproducing apparatus that stores video programs on multiple removable media, automatically changes the removable media, and supplies requested video programs to multiple terminal devices has a control unit that stores predicted times at which the programs currently being reproduced will require a change of removable media. When a program request is received, the control unit calculates the media change times of the program, and adjusts these times according to the stored predicted times. The adjustments enable all terminals to receive video programs without noise or interruption when the removable media are changed.

The system for supplying information to a terminal device or devices has one or more optical disk drives, a magnetic disk storage for storing information regarding a beginning portion of the information recorded on the optical disk or disks, one or more optical disk monitoring circuits, an electronic switch assembly for selectively outputting one of the stored information from the magnetic disk storage and the readout information from the optical disk drive, one or more FIFO memories for temporarily holding and outputting information from the electronic switch assembly, and a controller which causes the electronic switch assembly to output the stored information from the magnetic disk storage in response to the playback request input, and subsequently causes the electronic switch assembly to output the readout information from the optical disk drive in response to the signal from the optical disk monitoring circuit so that the FIFO memory outputs continuous information.
