Apparatus and method for switching channel of digital television
TLDR
In this article, an apparatus and method for switching a channel of a digital television is described, which allows a window on a screen to be slid and results in minimization or a user eyestrain caused by a channel switching operation.Abstract:
An apparatus and method for switching a channel of a digital television is disclosed. The apparatus for switching a channel of the digital TV comprises a image processor for performing scaling of image data input to match an output image size; a frame storage unit for storing the image frames scaled by the image processor; and a controller for allowing a image frame of a first channel and a image frame of a second channel scaled by the image processor to be displayed as a single image. Therefore, the apparatus allows a window on a screen to be slid and results in minimization or a user eyestrain caused by a channel switching operation.read more
