  Video generation and capture techniquesUSPTO Application #: 20070242136Title: Video generation and capture techniques Abstract: Method and arrangement for capturing and automatically formatting video signals in both synchronized and deflection driven forms in which a single real-time capture module is provided including three input channels for receiving the video signals, three analog to digital converters for processing the video signals and three dynamic memories. Data from the converters is stored in the three dynamic memories. A line location look-up table is generated during the storage of data which holds the starting address of the stored lines of synchronized video. A video signal is then generated by addressing the line location look-up table. (end of abstract)

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/155,368 filed May 24, 2002 which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/321,041 filed May 27, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,396,536 which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. .sctn.119(e) of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/086,934 filed May 27, 1998. [0002] This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/985,152 filed Nov. 10, 2004 on the grounds that they contain common subject matter. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0003] The present invention relates to the control of stroke video hardware by utilizing high level software constructs. [0004] The present invention also relates to the capture and automatic formatting of video in both synchronized and deflection driven forms using a single module. [0005] Further, the present invention relates to the field of automatic test equipment for testing electronic video devices, and more particularly, to automatic test equipment for generating complex, multiple format video signals and the real time capture and analysis of complex video signals. [0006] Also, the present invention relates to methods for producing a static video signal and methods for drawing an image on a screen, which may be used in conjunction with automatic test equipment for testing electronic video devices. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0007] Automatic test equipment for testing standard format video devices is known. However, it is commonly required to evaluate the performance and functionality of a non-standard video unit under test (UUT) to determine if the UUT is operating within the manufacturer's specifications. Specifically, the UUT may require special image and scan formats, voltage levels, and timing signals. In addition, fault simulation may be required to verify the UUT's functionality. [0008] Video signals can be generated by a wide variety of instruments employing diverse methods. In most available types, the image format, sync format and timing are limited to a set of known types primarily to support commercial display devices. Also, any UUT specific timing signals, related to the video signal but not part of it, often must be created by the use of ancillary equipment. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0009] It is an object of present invention to provide a new and improved method for generating stroke video, which is simpler than existing methods and provides a video signal in a shorter amount of time than conventional methods. [0010] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved method for capturing and automatically formatting video in both synchronized and deflection driven forms in a single module. [0011] It is still another object of the present invention to provide new and improved automatic test equipment for testing electronic video devices. [0012] It is another object of the present invention to provide new and improved automatic test equipment for generating complex, multiple format video signals and the real time capture and analysis of complex video signals. [0013] It is another object of the present invention to provide new and improved methods for producing a static video signal for use in the testing of electronic video devices. [0014] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide new and improved methods for drawing an image on a screen for use in the testing of electronic video devices. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0015] In order to achieve these objects and others, in accordance with the invention, a Video Asset (AVA) is disclosed and is a VXI register based, single "C" size, instrument intended for use in automatic test equipment. The AVA consists of eight major elements as follows: [0016] 1. Primary Composite Video (PCV); [0017] 2. Stroke Generator (SG); [0018] 3. Secondary Video Source (SVS); [0019] 4. Real Time Capture (RTC); Continue reading...
