Abstract: Video magnification apparatus (46) modifies
(shrinks or enlarges) video graphic images in a
horizontal and vertical direction during a transfer of
video graphics data signals from a graphics memory to
a television screen. A first magnification modifying
device (160) modifies the magnification of a graphic
by a vertical magnification factor by generating
graphic line address output signals that selectively
prevent a transmission of predetermined horizontal
lines of the graphic upon the reception of a vertical
magnification factor that is less than unity. The
first device also causes a transmission of
predetermined horizontal lines of the graphic to be
selectively repeated upon the reception of a vertical
magnification factor that is greater than unity. A
second magnification modifying device (98) is
responsive to the transmissions of the horizontal
lines of the graphic indicated for transmission by the
output signals of the first magnification modifying
means for modifying the magnification of the graphic
in a horizontal direction by a horizontal
magnification factor. The second magnification
modifying device selects N predetermined pixels of
each received X pixel group that are multiplexed into 
a transmitting X pixel group for transmission in each
output signal of the apparatus for a magnification
factor equal to or less than unity. Still further,
the second device repeats pixels of each received X
pixel group a number of times corresponding to an
integer magnification factor that is greater than
unity for transmission in each output signal of the
apparatus.

Abstract: A multimedia server system includes a disk array subsystem including a plurality of
multimedia files, e.g., movies, a media file system manager for managing the storage of the
plurality of multimedia files within the disk array subsystem, and a playlist which includes a list
of titles of specific multimedia files to be played at designated times. The multimedia server
system advantageously includes synchronization parameters associated with each of titles
specified by the playlist. The synchronization parameters are programmed to specify the manner
in which particular files should be truncated in order to compensate for admission delays. An
admission delay synchronization unit receives the synchronization parameters and truncates the
multimedia files as specified by the synchronization parameters. In one implementation, a first
synchronization parameter is used to specify that the current file should be truncated at the time
for the play of the next file. A second synchronization parameter specifies that up to a given
amount of time should be sacrificed at the beginning of the next file to account for the admission
delay of the current file. In this manner, the beginning of the next file is truncated. Still a third
synchronization parameter is provided to specify an amount of time up to which the current file
will be truncated at it's end to account for it's admission delay. As a result, the truncated file can
be played in a shorter amount of time than the scheduled duration, and the "excess time" created is
available to absorb any admission delay.

such as duplication permission, duplication inhibition, and
duplication of generation restriction of a video signal in a

different in phase or series, or generated by multiplying a
specified spread code by the plurality of different orthogonal

signal to output a combined information signal. The spectral
spread code in the combined information signal is detected (23),
duplication control of the video signal in the recording medium
is performed (24) correspondingly to the detected spectral spread
code, and the additional information is extracted by performing
inversion spectral spread on the combined information signal
using the detected spectral spread code.
