IPC: G06F3/048

Abstract: An On Screen Display (OSD) system for a digital
television set-top box is provided. The OSD can
simultaneously display different kinds of pictures, (e.g., a
bit-map, a graphic, a still video picture, a motion video
picture or a background color). Each picture is in a
different window that is managed by hardware. An OSD
controller changes the display mode in real time during
generation of the display. The OSD controller calculates,
in real time for each line, the address and the size of each
segment of a window that makes up the current line. A
display memory is organized by window and located in an
SDRAM; the same memory space is used for both the display's
frame memory and the CPU's working area. The controller
reads the segments from the memory space that contain the
full windows created by the CPU. The controller reads the
windows, segment by segment, and transfers data to an OSD
FIFO during display, overlapped parts not visible are not
read. For each pixel, the OSD decoder reads into the FIFO
the bits required to display the current pixel. The number
of bits per pixel varies during the display depending of the
mode. An address calculator, a pixel selector and a
controller select the bits of data from the FIFO to form the
current pixel.
