Abstract

A video presenting system having outputs for dual images is provided. As a result, the video presenter, which is an optical image electronic device having mounted therein an embedded system dedicated to a device control, can respectively and simultaneously output any two different images to two different display units. These any two different images are from among an externally input image, a live image, and a document/multimedia image. The video presenting system having outputs for dual images includes a first display member; a second display member; a video presenting member generating a live image signal and outputting a dual-display signal after performing signal processing of a live image signal, an externally input image signal, and a document/multimedia image signal; and an embedded member performing periodic communication with the video presenting member, and thus transmitting the externally input image signal and the document/multimedia image signal to the video presenting member.

Claims

1. A video presenting system having outputs for dual images, the video presenting system comprising:

a first display member;

a second display member;

a video presenting member generating a live image signal, and outputting a dual-display signal after performing signal processing of the live image signal, an externally input image signal, and a document/multimedia image signal; and

an embedded member performing periodic communication with the video presenting member, and thus transmitting the externally input image signal and the document/multimedia image signal to the video presenting member,

wherein the video presenting member comprises;

a VGA (video graphics array) engine outputting a video graphic image signal after performing signal processing of the live image signal and the document/multimedia image signal which is received from the embedded member; and

an image output unit performing signal processing of any two image signals selected from among the externally input image signal, the video graphic image signal output from the VGA engine, and the document/multimedia image signal output from the embedded member, and thus respectively and simultaneously outputting the two image signals to the first display member and the second display member.

2. The video presenting system of claim 1, wherein the video presenting member overlays the two image signals selected from among the externally input image signal, the video graphic image signal, and the document/multimedia image signal, and outputs the image signals to at least one of the first display member and the second display member.

3. The video presenting system of claim 1, wherein the image output unit comprises:

a DVI (digital visual interface) converting unit converting the video graphic image signal, which is output from the VGA engine, into a DVI image signal;

a DVI port outputting the DVI-converted image signal to the first display member;

a switching unit performing a switching operation on the document/multimedia image signal output from the embedded member, or on the video graphic image signal output from the VGA engine;

a DAC (digital-to-analog converter) converting the switched image signal into an analog image signal; and

a D-SUB port outputting the analog image signal to the second display member.

4. The video presenting system of claim 1, wherein the image output unit comprises:

a DVI converting unit converting the video graphic image signal, which is output from the VGA engine, into a DVI image signal;

a DVI port outputting the DVI-converted image signal to the first display member;

a first switching unit performing a switching operation on the document/multimedia image signal output from the embedded member, or on the video graphic image signal output from the VGA engine;

a DAC converting the switched image signal into an analog image signal;

a second switching unit performing a switching operation on the analog image signal, or on the externally input image signal; and

a D-SUB port outputting the second-switched image signal to the second display member.

5. The video presenting system of claim 1, wherein the image output unit comprises:

a first DVI converting unit converting the video graphic image signal, which is output from the VGA engine, into a DVI image signal;

a first DVI port outputting the first DVI-converted image signal to the first display member;

a first switching unit performing a switching operation on the document/multimedia image signal output from the embedded member, or on the video graphic image signal output from the VGA engine;

an ADC (analog-to-digital converter) converting the externally input image signal into a digital signal;

a second switching unit performing a switching operation on the first-switched image signal, or on the digitally converted external input image;

a second DVI converting unit converting the second-switched image signal into a DVI image signal; and

a second DVI port outputting the second DVI-converted image signal to the second display member.

6. The video presenting system of claim 1, wherein the image output unit comprises:

a first DVI converting unit converting the video graphic image signal, which is output from the VGA engine, into a DVI image signal;

a first DVI port outputting the first DVI-converted image signal to the first display member;

a first switching unit performing a switching operation on the document/multimedia image signal output from the embedded member, or on the video graphic image signal output from the VGA engine;

a second DVI converting unit converting the first-switched image signal into a DVI image signal;

a second DVI port receiving the externally input image signal;

a second switching unit performing a switching operation on the second DVI-converted image signal or on the externally input image signal received via the second DVI port; and

a third DVI port outputting the second-switched image signal to the second display member.
