Upon input of the NTSC signal, the change-over switch SW1 is connected to the reference potential point and the charging voltage of the first capacitor C1 is used as the pump-up voltage; Upon input of a signal having a short vertical flyback period such as the signal from personal computers, the total of the charging voltages at the first and second capacitors C1 and C2 is used as the pump-up voltage.

Description: Background of the Invention Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to a multimedia television receiver to which signals having different deflection frequencies and/or in particular different flyback periods including the ordinary NTSC television signal and the video signal from personal computers are input and which displays such input signals on a common CRT display. Description of the Related Art: It is awaited to introduce a multimedia-supporting color television set which can display not only the video images from various video media including television, video tapes, CATV and laser disks but also those from various personal computers (such as multimedia personal computers with incorporated CD-ROM drives) on a single video receiver. In such a color television set, the video signal from general television broadcasting and a video tape player (NTSC signal) or those from a personal computer (RGB signal) is selectively input. Note that the video signal input from a personal computer has more information than that from television broadcasting or a video tape player and it has a wider frequency band and a different flyback period. For example, while the NTSC signal has a vertical flyback period of 1080 µs, the video signal from a personal computer has a quite short flyback period 600 µs. They have a large difference. Thus, for reproduction of the video signal from a personal computer on a CRT display in particular, it has been proposed to execute the pump-up control to raise the wave height of the deflection voltage during the flyback period in order for smooth flyback operation by the deflection yoke of the CRT display. Specifically, the display is designed so that the deflection yoke current during the flyback period returns from "-1/2 i yp-p" to "+1/2 i yp-p" (where "i yp-p" is the peak-to-peak value of the deflection yoke current) in a short time and that the pump-up voltage higher than that for the scanning period is supplied to the deflection yoke during the flyback period. Note that the loss at the output stage increases if the deflection yoke voltage is pumped up for a higher voltage even during the scanning period. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure that the pump-up voltage is applied to the flyback period only. Fig. 7 shows an example of a conventional vertical deflection circuit provided with a pump-up circuit such as disclosed in US-A-4 179 643 and JP-A-4 334 271. The power supply voltage Vcc is supplied to the transistors Q1 and Q2 constituting a vertical output circuit connected in series via the diode D1 for reverse current prevention. These transistors Q1 and Q2 are controlled by the vertical drive signal and the vertical deflection signal is supplied to the deflection yoke DY. The output from the diode D1 charges the capacitor C1, which is connected to the reference potential point via the change-over switch SW during the scanning period of the input signal. This change-over switch SW is designed so that the capacitor C1 is connected to the power supply Vcc during the flyback period. In such a pump-up circuit, the change-over switch SW connects, as shown in Fig. 7, the capacitor C1 to the reference potential point during the scanning period so that the capacitor C1 is charged to the voltage almost equivalent to Vcc expressed as "Vcc-VF" (where "VF" is the forward voltage drop of the diode D1) and the power supply voltage Vcc is applied to the deflection yoke DY. On the other hand, the change-over switch SW is switched so that the discharged voltage from the capacitor C1 is additionally supplied to the output stage during the flyback period. Thus, the voltage "Vcc-VF" is added to the power supply voltage Vcc and the total voltage, which is about 2 Vcc, is applied to the output stage so that the deflection yoke current is restored to the current "+1/2 i yp-p" in a short period. Since the video signals from personal computers have vertical deflection frequencies and the flyback periods different from the NTSC signal, the pump-up voltage during the flyback period upon input of the video signal from a personal computer is required to be higher than "2 × Vcc", which is for input of the NTSC signal. Conventional solutions to this problem are as follows: a) The pump-up voltage is always kept to three times the voltage Vcc (Vcc × 3), - away of generating such a pump-up voltage is disclosed in US-A-4 179 643; b) The pump-up voltage is "Vcc × 2" as in the case of the NTSC signal, but the deflection yoke is provided with a smaller inductance; c) A deflection yoke with a poor deflection sensitivity leads to a longer flyback period, which causes the vertical deflection current to go into the scanning period of the signal, resulting in folding on the screen. In such case, blanking is executed utilizing the pulse from the output stage of the vertical output circuit. However, the solution a) results in a larger loss and b) results in a large deflection yoke current due to small inductance of the deflection yoke, which results in a larger loss at the output stage and a higher temperature at the deflection yoke. In addition, difference of the flyback period between the NTSC signal and the personal computer signal causes the vertical screen position to be shifted upward. Therefore, it is necessary to correct it by adding a centering circuit as shown in Fig. 8. In Fig. 8, the DC voltage (Vcc) is divided by the resistance circuit (R2 to R4) and the DC component is supplied via transistors Q3 and Q4 to the vertical deflection yoke DY for adjustment of the screen position. In case of c), since the scanning period or the period for images is reduced, the information amount is naturally restricted. Fig. 9 (A) shows the vertical synchronizing signal in the video signal. In the vertical flyback period L1 of the video signal, the vertical flyback period L2 of the vertical deflection circuit is arranged. This vertical flyback period L2 is 1080 µs for the NTSC signal and 600 µs for the personal computer signal. The vertical deflection signal supplied to the deflection coil is, as shown in Fig. 9 (B), configured corresponding to this vertical flyback period L2. With a deflection yoke having a poor deflection sensitivity, for example, the flyback period becomes longer and goes into the image section of the video signal as shown in a. Thus, a conventional multimedia television receiver has drawbacks that, the pump-up solutions for input of a signal with a different vertical deflection frequency or the vertical flyback period width such as the personal computer signal results in a large loss at the output stage, requires a screen position adjustment circuit or reduces the scanning period. Summary of the Invention: An object of the present invention is to provide a multimedia television receiver which can supply an optimum pump-up voltage to the input signal having an uncertain deflection frequency. Another object of the present invention is to provide a multimedia television receiver having an improved pump-up means which enables vertical scanning without affecting the scanning period even when the flyback period has a narrow width such as in case of video signals from personal computers. The invention is defined is appended claim 1. A multimedia television receiver according to the present invention accepts several types of input signals having different vertical flyback widths including a television signal and a second signal with a smaller vertical flyback width than the television signal. The receiver identifies the type of the input signal and separates and extracts the horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals of the input signal with signal processing means. Based on the extracted horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals, the current at the deflection coil mounted on the display means constituting the display is controlled by the horizontal and vertical deflection means. At the initial position of the vertical flyback period, the power supply voltage of this vertical deflection means is raised by the pump-up means. In this case, the pump-up means comprises a first and second pump-up circuits and, upon input of said second signal, the total of the voltages at the first and the second pump-up circuits is supplied as the power supply voltage of said vertical deflection means. Note that the first and the second pump-up means may comprise a first capacitor charged by the power supply voltage and a second capacitor charged according to the second input signal. When a signal having a short flyback period, in particular,is input, the voltages at the first and the second capacitors are added to be the pump-up voltage, which is applied to the deflection yoke. In a multimedia television receiver provided with such pump-up means, when the NTSC signal is input, for example, the discharged voltage from the first capacitor only is applied to the vertical deflection means as the pump-up voltage and, when the video signal from a personal computer is input, the total of the voltages discharged form the first and the second capacitors are applied to the vertical deflection means as the pump-up voltage. This achieves a smooth vertical scanning without affecting the image section, corresponding to the signal with a short flyback period. In this case, by controlling the charging voltage to the second capacitor, the pump-up voltage representing for example three times the power supply voltage can be applied to the output stage.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments Referring to the attached figures, preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below. Fig. I shows a general configuration of a multimedia television receiver. The television broadcasting wave received by an antenna 11 is input to a tuner 12. The base band video signal output from the tuner 12 and the external input video signal reproduced on a VTR are input to a first input change-over switch 13. Then, the NTSC signal selected by the change-over switch 13 is supplied to an NTSC signal processing circuit 14. The NTSC signal processing circuit 14 processes the input NTSC signal for brightness adjustment, contrast/hue adjustment and color demodulation and outputs the RGB signal. It also conducts the synchronizing separation where the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) signals are separated from the input NTSC signal and outputs the horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals H and V based on the input NTSC signal. The output from the NTSC signal processing circuit 14 is supplied to a second input change-over switch 15 and the signal selected by the change-over switch 15 is, via a CRT drive circuit 16, sent to a CRT display tube 171 of a display 17. The computer video signal (RGB signal) input from personal computers is supplied to an RGB signal processing circuit 18. This processing circuit 18 processes the input RGB signal in the same way as that for the NTSC signal and outputs the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) synchronizing signals of this input RGB signal. The output from the RGB signal processing circuit 18 is sent to the second change-over switch 15. This change-over switch 15 makes selection between this signal and the output signal from the NTSC signal processing circuit 14. In other words, the second change-over switch 15 is differently controlled depending on whether the input signal is the NTSC signal or the computer signal. Note that the synchronizing signals in the computer signals have various forms depending on the display mode of the computer as illustrated in Table 1. The deflection frequencies, synchronizing signal polarities and other properties are different corresponding to the display mode. Referring to the display modes on the table, PC-98 is the display mode adopted in personal computers from NEC, VGA is that adopted by personal computers from IBM and their compatible machines, and MAC is that adopted by Macintosh series personal computers. Input to a synchronizing signal processing circuit 19 is the synchronizing signals H and V (Horizontal deflection frequency: 15.75 kHz; Vertical deflection frequency: 60 Hz) output from the NTSC signal processing circuit 14 or the synchronizing signals H and V (See Table 1) of the computer signal (RGB signal) output from the RGB signal processing circuit 18. The synchronizing signal processing circuit 19 identifies the input signal (whether it is the NTSC signal or one of the signals in Table 1), discriminates the polarity and detects the status of the frequencies (H and V frequencies) and the synchronizing signals. The output from this synchronizing signal processing circuit 19 controls a horizontal (H)/vertical (V) oscillator 20 and sends control instructions to a microcomputer 21 so that various computer controls such as change-over of the second change-over switch 15 are executed. The microcomputer 21 also controls the first change-over switch 13 according to signals from operation means (not shown). The output from the horizontal/vertical oscillator 20 is sent to a vertical (V) output circuit 22 and a horizontal (H) output circuit 23. A pump-up circuit 24 is supplied with the pump-up voltage control signal from the synchronizing signal processing circuit 19 and the pump-up voltage from the pump-up circuit 24 is sent to the vertical output circuit 22. Then, the output signals from the vertical output circuit 22 and the horizontal output circuit 23 are supplied to a deflecting coil 172 mounted on the CRT in the display 17. Fig. 2 shows the detailed configuration of a synchronizing signal processing circuit 19. The green video signal of the NTSC signal or the personal computer signal is input to an amplitude separating circuit 31 for separation of the synchronizing signals, and the composite synchronizing signal output from this circuit is supplied to one side input terminal of a change-over switch 32. The horizontal synchronizing signal or the composite synchronizing signal of the NTSC signal or the personal computer signal is input to a polarity processing circuit 33 and the output from this circuit is supplied to the other side input terminal of the change-over switch 32 and a presence/absence detecting circuit 34. The polarity processing circuit 33 outputs the horizontal synchronizing signal input with the positive or negative polarity as the signal having one of the polarities (positive polarity, for example). The polarity processing circuit 33 always outputs the horizontal synchronizing signal of the same polarity. The change-over switch 32 selects the output from the amplitude separating circuit 31 (composite synchronizing signal) upon "Absence" detection by the presence/absence detecting circuit 34 and outputs such signal as the horizontal synchronizing signal. This composite synchronizing signal is supplied to a frequency separating circuit 35 to separate the vertical synchronizing signal. The vertical synchronizing signal from the frequency separating circuit 35 is supplied to one side input terminal of a change-over switch 36. The vertical synchronizing signal from a personal computer is input to a polarity processing circuit 37 and, the output from the polarity processing circuit 37 is sent to the other side input terminal of the change-over switch 36. The polarity processing circuit 37 outputs the vertical synchronizing signal input with the positive or negative polarity as the signal having one of the polarities (positive polarity, for example). The polarity processing circuit 37 always outputs the vertical synchronizing signal of the same polarity. The output from the polarity processing circuit 37 is further supplied to a presence/absence detecting circuit 38 and the output from the presence/absence detecting circuit 38 corresponding to its presence/absence discrimination controls the change-over switch 36. When "Absence" is detected, the change-over switch 36 selects the output from the frequency separating circuit 35 and outputs such signal as the vertical synchronizing signal. These horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals are supplied to the horizontal/vertical oscillator 20 in Fig. 1. In case that the signal input in the synchronizing signal processing circuit 19 is the green video signal, the outputs of the presence/absence detecting circuits 34 and 38 show "Absence" , so that the change-over switches 32 and 36 are switched into the state shown in dotted line. In case that the signal input in the synchronizing signal processing circuit 19 is the composite synchronizing signal, the output of the presence/absence detecting circuits 34 shows " Presence " and the output of the presence/absence detecting circuits 38 shows " Absence" , so that the change-over switch 32 is switched into the state shown in solid line and the change-over switch 36 is switched into the state shown in dotted line. In case that the signals input in the synchronizing signal processing circuit 19 are the horizontal synchronizing signal and vertical synchronizing signal, the outputs of the presence/absence detecting circuits 34 and 38 show "Presence" , so that the change-over switches 32 and 36 are switched into the state shown in solid line. The horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals before polarity processing by the polarity processing circuits 33 and 37 are supplied to the polarity discriminating circuit 39, and the polarity discrimination output from this circuit 39 is supplied to a matrix circuit 40. The horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals respectively from the change-over switches 32 and 36 are supplied to a horizontal frequency (HF) detecting circuit 41 and a vertical frequency (VF) detecting circuit 42 respectively. The horizontal and vertical frequency signals detected by these horizontal and vertical frequency detecting circuits 41 and 42 are supplied to the matrix circuit 40. Further, the outputs of the presence/absence detecting circuits 34 and 38 are also supplied to a synchronizing signal identifying circuit 43, so that the identification result is supplied to the matrix circuit 40. Input to the polarity discriminating circuit 39 are the horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals before polarity processing by the polarity processing circuits 33 and 37. The polarity discriminating circuit 39 integrates the input synchronizing signals so as to output the binary signal to show the polarity. Specifically, it outputs "0" for the synchronizing signal with positive polarity and "1" for the synchronizing signal with negative polarity so that the polarity of the input synchronizing signal is discriminated. The matrix circuit 40 checks the horizontal and vertical frequencies from the HF detecting circuit 41 and the VF detecting circuit 42, the synchronizing signal polarity from the polarity. discriminating circuit 39 and the form of the synchronizing signal (such as separate sync., composite sync. or sync-on-green) from the synchronizing signal identifying circuit 43 to judge whether the signal is the NTSC signal or the personal computer signal. In case of the personal computer signal, it further identifies the type of the personal computer signal by checking the combination of at least two of the above data and outputs the pump-up voltage control signal corresponding to the identified type. At the same time, it outputs the pump-up voltage switching signal corresponding to the NTSC input or personal computer input. The pump-up voltage switching signal is output synchronizing with the flyback period in the NTSC or personal computer signal. Fig. 3 shows the configuration of the pump-up circuit 24 according to a first embodiment. The power supply voltage Vcc is supplied to a first capacitor C1 as the charging voltage via a diode D1 for reverse current prevention. The capacitor C1 is connected to the traveling contact of the first change-over switch SW1, which is in turn connected to the power supply Vcc at the fixed contact "a", connected to the reference potential point at the fixed contact "b" and connected to a second capacitor C2 at the fixed contact "c". To the second capacitor C2, the voltage output from a voltage control circuit 45 being supplied with the voltage Vcc is supplied as the charging voltage via a diode D2. The capacitor C2 is connected to the traveling contact of the second change-over switch SW2, which is in turn connected to the power supply Vcc at the fixed contact "a", connected with nothing at the fixed contact "b" and connected to the reference potential point at the fixed contact "c". In short, a first pump-up circuit 46 containing the first capacitor C1 is connected in series with a second pump-up circuit 47 containing the second capacitor C2. The voltage Vcc output from the diode D1 is supplied to a vertical output circuit 48. The vertical output circuit 48 comprises the output transistors Q1 and Q2 connected in series. The output from the mutual connecting point between the transistors Q 1 and Q2 is taken out as the output of the vertical output circuit 48 and supplied to a vertical deflection coil 49. Thus, for the horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals output from the synchronizing signal processing circuit 19 in Fig. 2 upon input of the RGB signal from a personal computer, the type of the personal computer sending the input signal is identified based on the form of the synchronizing signal (separate, composite or sync-on-green), horizontal and vertical frequencies and the synchronizing signal polarity, for example. The pump-up voltage control signal is generated according to such identification result. This control signal has different pulse width corresponding to the vertical frequency, for example. Such pulse signal is made to be a direct current for control of the voltage control circuit 45 (See Fig. 3). As the pulse signal frequency becomes higher, a higher voltage is output from the pump-up voltage control circuit 45 (Vcc at max. and 0 at min.). Thus, the second capacitor C2 charged by the output voltage from the pump-up voltage control circuit 45 is variably controlled in the range from 0 to Vcc. Upon input of the video signal from a personal computer, the first change-over switch SW1 is connected to the contact "b" during the scanning period and the second change-over switch SW2 is connected to the contact "c". In other words, the first capacitor C1 is charged by the voltage Vcc and the second capacitor C2 is charged corresponding to the output voltage from the voltage control circuit 45. During this flyback period upon input of the personal computer signal, the pump-up voltage switching signal switches the first change-over switch SW1 to the fixed contact "c" and the second switch SW2 to the fixed contact "a". In this case, an added value of the charged voltages at the first and second capacitors C1 and C2 is added to the voltage V cc and the variable voltage corresponding to such additional voltage (2 Vcc to 3 V cc) is supplied to the vertical output circuit 48 as the pump-up voltage in the flyback period. C3 represents a smoothing capacitor and R1 is a feedback resistor. On the other hand, when the NTSC signal is input, the change-over switch SW1 is connected to the contact "b" so that the capacitor C1 is charged with the voltage Vcc and the change-over switch SW2 is connected to the contact "b" during the scanning period. During the flyback period, the change-over switch SW1 is connected to the contact "a" so that the voltage of about 2 V cc is supplied to the vertical output circuit 48 as the power supply voltage. Figs. 4(A) and 4(B) show specific examples of the voltage control circuit 45. In Fig. 4(A), the circuit is provided with a voltage control transistor Q so that the output voltage is output from its emitter. Connected to the base of the transistor Q is a variable voltage source E serving as the control voltage source, whose voltage is variably controlled by the pump-up voltage control signal. Alternatively, as shown in Fig. 4(B), a plurality of zener diodes may be connected in series with the base of the voltage control transistor Q so that the zener diodes may be selectively short-circuited across the ends by the pump-up voltage control signal for variable control of the control voltage at the base of the transistor Q. The output voltage is variably controlled corresponding to the number of zener diodes connected in series. Fig. 5 (A) shows the pump-up voltage when the NTSC signal is input and Fig. 5 (B) shows the pump-up voltage upon input of the personal computer signal. It is understood that the synchronizing signal has a higher frequency upon input of the personal computer signal and the higher the frequency, the higher the flyback period voltage becomes in the pump-up voltage, with reducing the width of the flyback period. The pump-up voltage for such flyback period can be also variably controlled in the range from 2 V cc to 3 V cc. Fig. 6 shows a pump-up circuit 24 according to a second embodiment. The power supply voltage Vcc is, via a diode D1, connected to the first capacitor C1, which is in turn connected to the traveling contact of the change-over switch SW3. The change-over switch SW3 is provided with fixed contacts "a" to "c". To the contact "a", a flyback transformer (FBT) is connected via a diode D2. The contact "c" is connected to the power supply Vcc. In addition, the power supply Vcc is, via the diode D1, connected to a serial circuit of transistors Q1 and Q2 constituting a vertical output circuit. To the contact point of the transistors Q1 and Q2, a deflection coil 49 is connected. Specifically, during the scanning period of the personal computer input signal, the change-over switch SW3 is connected to the contact "a" so that the capacitors C1 and C2 are charged. At this time, the second capacitor C2 is charged with the negative voltage -Vc by the flyback pulse via the diode D2 connected to the tertiary winding of the flyback transformer (FBT). Therefore, the voltage across the first capacitor C1 is charged to be (Vcc - VF + Vc) (where "VF" is the forward voltage drop of the diode D1 and Vcc is the across voltage of the capacitor C2 ). If Vcc = Vc, the voltage of about 2 V cc is charged here. During the flyback period, the traveling contact is switched to the fixed contact "c" of the switch SW3. The voltage applied to the collector of the output transistor Q1 is (Vcc + Vcc - VF + Vc), or about 3 V cc. Upon input of the NTSC signal, the traveling contact of the change-over switch SW3 is connected to the fixed contact "b". In this case, the first capacitor C1 is charged by the power supply voltage Vcc in the scanning period. During the flyback period, the traveling contact of the change-over switch SW3 is connected with the fixed contact "c" and the voltage of "Vcc + (Vcc-VF)", or about 2 V cc is supplied to the collector of the output transistor Q1. Though the above description takes the NTSC signal as an example of the general TV signal, it is possible to support the input of PAL or other system signals. Thus, with a multimedia television receiver according to the present invention, the optimum pump-up voltage is supplied for uncertain input signal frequency and, particularly for a short flyback period of the video signal from a personal computer, the optimum pump-up voltage is supplied so that the vertical scanning is executed without affecting the scanning period. It is naturally understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made for practice within the scope of the invention.
