Video hard copy controller
First Claim
1. A video hard copy controller comprising:
- first means for receiving serial input video signals from a first source;
second means coupled to said first means for converting said serial input video signals into a first set of parallel digital signals; and
third means coupled to said second means for receiving said first set of parallel digital signals, said third means including means for receiving a second set of parallel digital signals from a second source and means responsive to a control signal for selecting between said first and second sets of parallel digital signals for output to a hard copy generating device in order to produce a hard copy fascimile of the images represented by the selected set of parallel digital signals.

Abstract
A video hard copy controller includes first means for receiving serial input video signals from a first source. Second means is coupled to the first means for converting the serial input video signals into a first set of parallel digital signals. Third means is coupled to the second means for receiving the first set of parallel digital signals. The third means includes means for receiving a second set of parallel digital signals from a second source and means responsive to a control signal for selecting between the first and second sets of parallel digital signals for output to a hard copy generating device in order to produce a hard copy fascimile of the images represented by the selected set of parallel digital video signals.

11. A video hard copy reproduction system comprising:
-
at least one input video source capable of generating serial video signals; a digital source capable of generating a first set of parallel digital signals; a video hard copy controller including first means for receiving said serial input video signals from said at least one input video source, second means coupled to said first means for converting said serial video signals into a second set of parallel digital signals, and third means coupled to said digital source for receiving said first set of parallel digital signals, said third means being responsive to a control signal for selecting between said first and second sets of parallel digital signals for output from said video hard copy controller; and a hard copy generating device coupled to the output of said video hard copy controller for producing a hard copy fascimile of the images represented by the selected set of parallel digital signals. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
