Abstract
A method of providing auxiliary data on a display includes receiving a video signal, extracting from the video signal auxiliary data, and storing the extracted auxiliary data. The method also includes extracting from the video signal a video image, and storing the extracted video image. The video image is manipulated to adjust either a horizontal dimension or a vertical dimension of the image and the manipulated video image is positioned on the display. The auxiliary data are also positioned on the display adjacent to the positioned video image.

14. A method of providing closed caption data on a display having a predetermined aspect ratio, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving a video image and closed caption data;
(b) determining an aspect ratio of the received video image;
(c) shrinking the video image in a vertical dimension, if the determined aspect ratio of the received video image is substantially similar to the predetermined aspect ratio of the display;
(d) placing the video image at one of (1) a top portion of the display and (2) a bottom portion of the display; and
(e) positioning the closed caption data at an opposing respective bottom portion of the display or a top portion of the display. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A method of providing closed caption data on a display having a predetermined aspect ratio, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving a video image and closed caption data;
(b) determining an aspect ratio of the received video image;
(c) determining a width dimension of the display and a width dimension of the video image, if the determined aspect ratio of the received video image is different than the predetermined aspect ratio of the display;
(d) resizing the video image in the width dimension to fit the width dimension of the display, if the determined width dimension of the video image is wider than the width dimension of the display;
(e) placing the resized video image at one of (1) a top portion of the display and (2) a bottom portion of the display; and
(f) positioning the closed caption data at an opposing respective bottom portion of the display or a top portion of the display.
