Abstract

A system and method is provided for generating a video signal including a signal generator to generate the video signal, a user setting part to allow a user to set information for generating the video signal, and a controller to control the signal generator to generate the video signal on the basis of the information when the information is set through the user setting part. Thus, the system provides a controller for generating a video signal, a simulation system comprising the same, and a method of generating the video signal, in which a desired new video signal is generated or adjusted on the basis of information for generating the video signal input by a user.

Claims

a signal generator for generating a video signal and regenerating a video signal received from an external signal source;

a user setting part for allowing a user to set information for generating the video signal and to set information for regenerating the video signal received from an external signal source;

a controller for controlling the signal generator to generate the video signal and regenerate the video signal received from an external signal source on the basis of the information when the information is set through the user setting part; and

a signal analyzer for detecting and analyzing the video signal output from the external signal source, wherein the controller is configured to control the signal generator to regenerate the video signal supplied from the external signal source on the basis of an analyzed result of the signal analyzer,

wherein the information for regenerating the video signal is used to modify the video signal during regeneration to generate a modified video signal.

2. The simulation system according to claim 1, further comprising:

signal storage for storing information for generating the video signal, wherein the controller is configured to adjust the video signal generated by the signal generator on the basis of changed information when the information for generating the video signal stored in the signal storage is changed through the user setting part.

3. The simulation system according to claim 2, wherein the information for generating the video signal comprises at least one of frequency, level, ringing, monotonic and timing of the video signal.

4. The simulation system according to claim 1, wherein the information for generating the video signal comprises at least one of frequency, level, ringing, monotonic and timing of the video signal.

5. The simulation system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a display, wherein the video signal generated by the signal generator is displayed in the display.

6. A control device of generating a video signal, comprising:

a user setting part;

a controller for providing a corresponding command to an external signal generator to generate a video signal on the basis of information for generating a video signal, and to regenerate a video signal received from an external signal source on the basis of the information when the information is set through the user setting part; and

a signal analyzer for detecting and analyzing the video signal output from the external signal source, wherein the controller is configured to control the signal generator to regenerate the video signal supplied from the external signal source on the basis of an analyzed result of the signal analyzer,
