Operating element with settable selectivity
First Claim
1. A control apparatus having a user manipulated operating element and a pickup, which generates position signals corresponding to the position of the operating element, which position signals are translated into first numerical values by means of a first converter and are available as numerical values at an output,wherein the first numerical values are translated into second numerical values in accordance with an assignment characteristic curve in a second converter,wherein a control quantity is applied to the second converter, which effects the selection of a specific assignment characteristic curve from a plurality of curves.

Abstract
An operating element with a settable operating characteristic for generating numerical control values A converts position signals P corresponding to the position of a linear sensor element into control values A using an assignment characteristic curve. Different assignment characteristic curves can be selected by means of a control quantity K. An arrangement for processing video or audio signals processes input signals Sin accordance with a function Sout (A, Sin). The numerical control values A are fed by means of an operating element to the arrangement for processing video or audio signals.
