Patent ID: 7106384

Claim:
A method for the simultaneous display of at least a first and second picture sequence in an overall picture, the method comprising: the picture data belonging to a picture of the first picture sequence are stored in the form of a first picture data signal in a first picture memory the picture data belonging to a picture of the second picture sequence are stored in the form of a second picture data signal in a second picture memory, such that the first and second picture sequences respectively include a sequence of half pictures, the picture data of the first half pictures always being stored in a first half picture memory of the picture memory, and the picture data of the second half pictures always being stored in a second half picture memory of the picture memory; the picture data are read out from the first and second picture memory in such a way that the overall picture is displayed in first and second line rasters, which are repeated respectively in immediate succession, such that the picture data are read out phase-shifted relative to the picture data signals, in accordance with the periodic raster signal, characterized in that the first and second picture sequences are displayed in the overall picture respectively in correspondence with a first decimation factor and a second decimation factor; and that the phase shift of the raster signal is set in dependence on the first and second picture data signal and in dependence on the first and second decimation factor.
