Abstract

A video signal controller is used with a dual sync monitor (16) of a digital computer (12). The controller has a tuner (18) to generate conventional television signals. The signals from the tuner (18) and from the computer (12) are supplied to a multiplexer (36) and the output signal (38) is supplied to a dual sync monitor (16). The controller has three modes of operation. In a first mode, conventional television signals (34) are displayed on the dual sync monitor (16). In a second mode, conventional computer signals (14) are displayed on the dual sync monitor (16). In a third mode, multi video signals may be displayed to achieve, for example, picture-in-picture format on the monitor (16). Finally, a method for processing the television signals for picture-in-picture display which greatly reduces the overhead required by the CPU (56).
