Abstract
Abstract A multimedia system capable of readily permitting expansion of its display memory as well as its compression/expansion function and other features as desired. The multimedia system is implemented by an information processing apparatus which includes a controller which controls the apparatus, an extended input/output bus for connecting with the controller, and interface device which interfaces with the extended input/output bus, at least one function extending device which extends the functionality of the controller and a local bus for permitting data exchanges between the interface device and the function extending device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
220 words
A motion image display apparatus comprising: a high speed bus which is capable of transferring motion image data at a required frame rate; a video input device for digitizing an analog video signal by converting said analog video signal into a digital video data; a memory device for storing data; a scaling device for scaling said digital video data from said video input device in the horizontal or the vertical direction and forming scaled motion image data in real time; a destination address table having a plurality of entries each of which specifies a start address at which a beginning of a scaled motion image data is to be stored or read from said memory device on a line by line basis; a data transfer device which transfers on said high speed bus, said scaled motion image data or a portion of said scaled motion image data from said scaling device of a continuous address area to said memory device by using said destination address table and transfers, on said high speed bus, said scaled motion image data from said memory device to a display for displaying thereon using said destination address table; and a color space converter which converts color format of said scaled motion image data from said data transfer device to a format apparatus for said display.

A motion image display apparatus comprising: a high speed bus which is capable of transferring motion image data at a required frame rate; a video input device for digitizing an analog video signal by converting said analog video signal into a digital video data; a memory device for storing data; a scaling device for scaling said digital video data from said video input device in the horizontal or the vertical direction and forming scaled motion image data in real time; a destination address table having a plurality of entries each of which specifies a start address at which a beginning of a scaled motion image data is to be stored or read from said memory device on a line by line basis; a data transfer device which transfers on said high speed bus, said scaled motion image data or a portion of said scaled motion image data from said scaling device of a continuous address area to said memory device by using said destination address table and transfers, on said high speed bus, said scaled motion image data from said memory device to a display for displaying thereon using said destination address table; and a color space converter which converts color format of said scaled motion image data from said data transfer device to a format apparatus for said display.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A motion image display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said destination address table contains one start address per each horizontal scan line of said scaled motion image data.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A motion image display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said destination address table contains at least two start addresses per each horizontal scan line of said scaled motion image data.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
A motion image display apparatus according to claim 2 or 3 comprising: a function extending device which is connected to said high speed bus; and a second memory device which is connected to said high speed bus, and which is part of said function extending device.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A motion image display apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said function extending device is a video data compressing device for compressing said scaled motion image data from to compressed motion image data.
