Patent Images
1. A video display system having a picture screen, adapted to display a picture corresponding to a video signal and system control means for controlling said system, said system control comprising, in combination:
- (a) means for generating plural condition information signals, each corresponding to an operating condition of said system;
(b) superimposing means for sequentially superimposing up to N (N≧
2) of said condition information signals upon said picture of said video signal displayed on said picture screen such that said N information signals are sequentially displayed so as to be simultaneously visable at predetermined positions of said picture screen in parallel relation to one another; and
(c) position control means connected to said system control means for altering the display positions of certain ones of said N condition information signals if the number of display information signals is smaller than N, whereby said certain ones of said N display information signals is displayed in the spaced immediately adjacent a corner of said picture screen.
