Interface system
First Claim
1. An interface system for delivering an output signal having a said signal characteristic in response to first and second input signals having said first signal characteristic and a second signal characteristic different from said first signal characteristic, said interface system comprising:
- a signal input for receiving a first signal having a first signal characteristic and a second signal having a second signal characteristic which is different from said first signal characteristic;
a detector circuit for detecting whether the signal at said input is said first signal or said second signal; and
a translator circuit for translating either of said first signal or said second signal into said output signal.

Abstract
An interface system delivers an output signal having a first signal characteristic in response to first and second input signals having the first signal characteristic and a second, different signal characteristic. The interface system includes a signal input for receiving a first signal having a first signal characteristic and a second signal having a second signal characteristic which is different from the first signal characteristic, a detector circuit for detecting whether the signal at the input is the first signal or the second signal, and a translator circuit for translating either of the first signal or the second signal into the output signal.
