It is composed of a RAM or the like that temporarily holds generated data. The control unit 10 loads the control program stored in the ROM into the RAM by the CPU and executes it, thereby controlling each hardware unit as described above and causing the entire apparatus to function as the video processing apparatus of the present invention.

  The infrared light receiving unit 19 receives infrared light from the remote control device, converts it into a predetermined electric signal, and outputs the obtained electric signal to the remote control code analyzing unit 18. The remote control code analysis unit 18 analyzes the electrical signal acquired from the infrared light receiving unit 19 to detect a control signal input from the remote control device, and sends the detected control signal to the control unit 10. The control unit 10 performs an operation in accordance with an instruction from the user via the remote control device by the CPU executing a control program corresponding to the control signal analyzed by the remote control code analysis unit 18.

  For example, when the connection unit 16 acquires an analog video signal from the external PC 2, the video signal input unit 11 sequentially transfers the acquired video signal to the A / D converter 12. The A / D converter 12 is an amplifier (not shown) that amplifies an analog video signal transferred from the video signal input unit 11 at a predetermined amplification factor, and samples the amplified video signal at a certain timing. A correlated double sampling function or the like is incorporated, and each value obtained by the sampling process is converted into a digital signal, and the obtained digital video signal is transferred to the video signal processing unit 13.

  The video signal processing unit 13 performs predetermined signal processing such as gamma correction processing, filtering processing, and contour enhancement processing on the video signal transferred from the A / D converter 12 to generate, for example, RGB (R : Red signal, G: green signal, B: blue signal) signal, and the generated RGB signal (video signal) is transferred to the video signal output unit 15.

  The OSD controller 14 transfers the OSD display data read from the EEPROM 17 to the video signal output unit 15 under the control of the control unit 10. As a result, a menu image based on the OSD display data read from the EEPROM 17 by the control unit 10 can be displayed on the video based on the video signal subjected to the predetermined processing by the video signal processing unit 13. The OSD display data is for displaying, for example, the operation status of the video processing apparatus 1, information to be notified to the user, and the like.

  The video signal output unit 15 projects the video based on the video signal transferred from the video signal processing unit 13 onto the screen, and the video based on the OSD display data transferred from the OSD controller 14 as necessary. Project to.

  In addition to the menu image (OSD display data) for selecting various functions of the video processing device 1, the EEPROM 17 is a condition number correspondence table, a first adjustment table, a second adjustment table, a third adjustment table, a fourth An adjustment table, an OSD information table, and the like are stored. In the condition number correspondence table, as shown in FIG. 2A, a condition number is registered in association with each setting condition in which the user can arbitrarily change the setting value in the video processing apparatus 1. . In the present embodiment, the set values can be changed under 14 types of setting conditions.

  In the first adjustment table, as shown in FIG. 2B, all 14 types of setting conditions and setting values for each setting condition are registered, and the user can arbitrarily change the setting values for each setting condition. Whether or not can be performed is set. In the first adjustment table shown in FIG. 2B, among the 14 types of setting conditions, the setting numbers 1 to 4, 9, and 10 are set to be changeable.

  In the second adjustment table, as shown in FIG. 2C, several setting conditions among the 14 types of setting conditions and setting values in each setting condition are registered. In the second adjustment table, the setting conditions with the condition numbers 1 to 4, 9, and 10 among the 14 types of setting conditions are registered. The second adjustment table stores the setting conditions and the setting values in the order of the condition numbers indicating the setting conditions when stored in the EEPROM 17, so that the condition numbers in the EEPROM 17 are 5 to 8 and 11 to 14. Data is not stored in the corresponding storage area. The third adjustment table and the fourth adjustment table are configured in the same manner as the second adjustment table, as shown in FIGS. 2 (d) and 3 (a).

  The video processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment is configured to be able to select each display mode from the standard mode, the presentation mode, the cinema mode, and the game mode, for example, according to the genre of the video signal projected onto the screen. Each setting condition in the standard mode is registered in the first adjustment table, each setting condition in the presentation mode is registered in the second adjustment table, and each setting condition in the cinema mode is registered in the third adjustment table. Are registered, and each setting condition in the game mode is registered in the fourth adjustment table.

  Therefore, for example, when any display mode is selected by the user, the video processing apparatus 1 performs video processing based on each setting condition registered in the adjustment table (condition table) corresponding to the selected display mode. By causing the A / D converter 12 and the video signal processing unit 13 to perform the process, it is possible to display a video in accordance with each setting condition. When the presentation mode, cinema mode, or game mode is selected, the control unit 10 is based on the setting values of the setting conditions registered in the corresponding second adjustment table, third adjustment table, or fourth adjustment table. Video processing is performed, and for setting conditions that are not registered in the second adjustment table, the third adjustment table, or the fourth adjustment table, video processing is performed based on the setting values registered in the first adjustment table.

  In the OSD information table (order table), as shown in FIG. 3B, a condition number indicating a setting condition corresponding to the notation order is registered for each display mode. By using such an OSD information table, for example, when the setting value of the setting condition corresponding to the standard mode is displayed by appropriately operating the remote control device by the user, the control unit 10 performs the first operation corresponding to the standard mode. A menu image is created in which each changeable setting condition registered in one adjustment table is written in the notation order registered in the OSD information table corresponding to each setting condition. Can be displayed.

  The user can change the setting value of each setting condition displayed on the menu image by appropriately operating the remote control device according to the menu image shown in FIG. When operated, the control unit 10 overwrites the changed setting value in the corresponding portion of the corresponding adjustment table.

  Here, the video processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment is configured to be able to add / delete setting conditions that allow the user to change setting values in each display mode. Specifically, when the user gives an instruction to add / delete setting conditions by appropriately operating the remote controller, the control unit 10 reads a predetermined menu image from the EEPROM 17 and corresponds to, for example, the standard mode. A menu image is generated to display the changeable setting conditions registered in the first adjustment table in association with the notation order registered in the OSD information table corresponding to each setting condition, and the menu image is displayed to the OSD controller 14. Forward. Thereby, a menu image as shown in FIG. 5A can be displayed on the screen via the video signal output unit 15. In the menu image shown in FIG. 5A, the notation order for the setting conditions set to be unchangeable in the first adjustment table is blank.

  In the menu image shown in FIG. 5 (a), for example, when the user operates the up / down key of the remote control device, the control unit 10 clearly indicates the currently selected setting condition as shown in FIG. 5 (b). A pull-down menu for selecting a notation order corresponding to the setting condition is displayed. In the menu image shown in FIG. 5A, eight setting conditions are already set to be changeable. When a new setting condition is added to be changeable, 1 to 9 are added to the setting condition to be added. Either notation order can be specified. When the “setting” button is operated in the menu image shown in FIG. 5B, the control unit 10 operates as a receiving unit that accepts the addition of the setting condition and the notation order of the setting condition to be added. When 0 is selected as the notation order, the control unit 10 accepts deletion of the selected setting condition.

  As described above, the control unit 10 that has received the addition of the setting condition and the notation order of the setting condition to be added according to the menu image changes the setting condition that has been accepted for the first adjustment table corresponding to the standard mode. If it is set to impossible, set it to changeable. Further, the control unit 10 determines that the setting condition for accepting addition is not registered for the second adjustment table, the third adjustment table, or the fourth adjustment table corresponding to the presentation mode, the cinema mode, or the game mode. The condition number indicating the setting condition is copied from the first adjustment table to each adjustment table.

  When copying the condition number from the first adjustment table to each adjustment table, the control unit 10 copies the position number corresponding to each condition number in the storage area of each adjustment table, and sets the setting value of each setting condition. Copy from each adjustment table. In addition, the control unit 10 stores the setting condition that has been added and the notation order received in correspondence with the setting condition in the OSD information table of the EEPROM 17. Thereby, the setting conditions accepted for addition according to the menu image shown in FIG. 5 can be set to be changeable collectively for all display modes.

  On the other hand, as described above, the control unit 10 that has received the deletion of the setting condition according to the menu image has the setting condition that has received the deletion set to be changeable for the first adjustment table corresponding to the standard mode. Set to not changeable. In addition, the control unit 10 is configured to register the setting condition for accepting deletion for the second adjustment table, the third adjustment table, or the fourth adjustment table corresponding to the presentation mode, the cinema mode, or the game mode. The condition number indicating the setting condition and the corresponding setting value are deleted from each adjustment table.

  In addition, the control unit 10 deletes all the condition numbers indicating the setting conditions for which deletion has been accepted from the OSD information table of the EEPROM 17, and sets each condition number after the deleted condition number to the previous notation order. Shift sequentially. Thereby, it is possible to set the setting conditions for which deletion has been accepted according to the menu image shown in FIG.

  Hereinafter, setting condition addition processing and deletion processing for each display mode in the video processing apparatus 1 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to flowcharts. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of setting condition addition processing and deletion processing in the video processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. The following processing is executed by the CPU of the control unit 10 in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM of the control unit 10.

  In the video processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, when the user gives an instruction to add / delete setting conditions by appropriately operating the remote controller, the control unit 10 reads a predetermined menu image from the EEPROM 17, A video signal output unit is created by creating a menu image that displays the changeable setting condition registered in the first adjustment table and the notation order registered in the OSD information table corresponding to each setting condition. A menu image as shown in FIG. 5A is displayed on the screen via S15 (S1).

  In the menu image shown in FIG. 5A, for example, when the user instructs addition of a setting condition to be set to be newly changeable by operating the up and down keys of the remote control device, the control unit 10 displays “ It is determined whether or not the “SET” button has been operated (S2). When it is determined that the setting button has been operated (S2: YES), the control unit 10 receives a newly added setting condition and a notation order of the setting condition (S3), and whether or not the accepted notation order is 0. Is determined (S4). Note that if the control unit 10 determines that the setting button is not operated (S2: NO), for example, if the “cancel” button is operated in the menu image, the process ends.

  When the control unit 10 determines that the received notation order is not 0 (S4: NO), the control unit 10 determines whether or not the setting condition that has been added is registered in the first adjustment table as changeable (S5), When it is determined that it is registered as unchangeable (S5: NO), the setting condition registered in the first adjustment table is set to be changeable (S6), and when it is determined that it is registered as changeable (S5: YES), the process of step S6 is skipped.

  Next, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the setting condition accepted for addition has already been registered in the second adjustment table, the third adjustment table, or the fourth adjustment table (S7), and determines that it has not been registered. In the case (S7: NO), the condition number indicating the setting condition for which the addition is accepted is copied from the first adjustment table to the unregistered adjustment table (S8). Further, the control unit 10 stores the condition number indicating the setting condition for which the addition has been received in the OSD information table in association with the notation order received corresponding to the setting condition (S9). In addition, the control part 10 skips the process of step S8 and S9, when it is judged that the setting conditions which received addition are already registered into each adjustment table (S7: YES).

  On the other hand, when the control unit 10 determines that the accepted notation order is 0 (S4: YES), the control unit 10 determines whether or not the setting condition for which deletion is accepted is registered in the first adjustment table as being changeable ( S10) If it is determined that it is registered as settable (S10: YES), the setting condition registered in the first adjustment table is set to be unchangeable (S11) and registered as unchangeable. (S10: NO), the process of step S11 is skipped.

  Next, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the setting condition that received the deletion is already registered in the second adjustment table, the third adjustment table, or the fourth adjustment table (S12), and determines that it is registered. In the case (S12: YES), the condition number indicating the setting condition for which the deletion is accepted is deleted from the registered adjustment table (S13). Further, the control unit 10 deletes the condition number indicating the setting condition for which the deletion is accepted from the OSD information table (S14). Note that the control unit 10 sequentially shifts each condition number whose order is later than the deleted condition number to the previous order. In addition, when the control unit 10 determines that the setting condition for accepting the deletion is not registered in each adjustment table (S12: NO), the control unit 10 skips the processes of steps S13 and S14.

  As described above, in the video processing device 1 according to the first embodiment, when the addition or deletion of the setting condition capable of changing the setting value is accepted for each display mode, all the display modes are collectively performed.
