Video decoder with closed caption data on video output
First Claim
1. A video decoder for receiving a compressed digital video stream and generating a single decompressed digital video signal with embedded closed caption digital data therefrom to be provided to an analog video encoder, the video decoder comprising:
- a video decompressor that decompresses the compressed digital video stream to generate a decompressed digital video signal;
a closed caption data embedder that produces closed caption digital data contained in the compressed digital video stream for embedding into the digital video output signal; and
a single video signal output port, coupled to the video decompressor and the closed caption data embedder, producing the single digital video output signal comprising the decompressed digital video signal and the embedded closed caption digital data to be provided to the analog video encoder contemporaneously.

Abstract
An arrangement and method for receiving a compressed video stream and generating a decompressed video signal and closed caption data therefrom employs a video decoder a video decompressor that decompresses the compressed video stream to generate a decompressed video signal. The video decoder has a closed caption data embedder that produces closed caption data contained in the compressed video stream for embedding into a video output signal of the video decoder. A single video signal output port is coupled to the video decompressor and the closed caption data embedder and produces the video output signal which includes the decompressed video signal and the embedded closed caption data.

11. A method of converting a compressed digital video bitstream into a single digital output signal having decompressed video output with embedded closed caption data, the method comprising:
-
receiving a compressed digital video bitstream; detecting closed caption digital data in the digital video bitstream; decompressing the digital video bitstream to a decompressed digital video output; providing the decompressed digital video output to a single output port for delivery of the single digital output signal to an analog video encoder; and
embedding the detected closed caption digital data in the decompressed digital video output to form the single digital output signal at the single output port for contemporaneous delivery of the single digital output signal to the analog video encoder. - View Dependent Claims (12)
