Abstract
An electronic apparatus stores in a graphics memory a first and a second graphics object. An OSD processor generates a first digital stream which represents the first graphics object. The second graphics object is converted into picture data, for example by a main controller, and these data are written to a picture memory, from which a second digital stream is generated. A mixer combines the first and the second digital stream into a video signal to be displayed.
