Abstract

Abstract A digital signal processing system in which the actual signal data obtained through digitalization of the information signal and control data of the digital control signals are used for the control of the actual signal data and are transmitted together with a sync signal between two circuits wherein the control data are provided to at least part of an actual signal data transmission line for transmitting the various data and the control data are transmitted during the period of absence of an actual signal data on the transmission line or during the period of the sync signal.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 118 words
A circuit arrangement for processing analog audio data into a format for transmitting, receiving and playing back in a video format comprising, an analog to digital converter receiving said analog audio data, a large scale integration circuit with clock, read-write, input, output, chip select, data and address terminals, receiving the output of said analog to digital converter, a random access memory connected to said read-write, data and address terminals of said large scale integration circuit, a first tri-state buffer attached to supply outputs to certain of said data terminals of said large scale integration circuit and receiving an input from one of said chip select terminals and a first plurality of switches connected to said first tri-state buffer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 118 words
A circuit arrangement for processing analog audio data into a format for transmitting, receiving and playing back in a video format comprising, an analog to digital converter receiving said analog audio data, a large scale integration circuit with clock, read-write, input, output, chip select, data and address terminals, receiving the output of said analog to digital converter, a random access memory connected to said read-write, data and address terminals of said large scale integration circuit, a first tri-state buffer attached to supply outputs to certain of said data terminals of said large scale integration circuit and receiving an input from one of said chip select terminals and a first plurality of switches connected to said first tri-state buffer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
