Un die aus dem Fernsehempfanqsgerät 1 und dem VCR-Gerät 3 bestehende Gerätekombination auch als Home-Computer benutzen zu können, enthält das Fernsehempfangsgerät die folgenden zusätzlichen SchaLtungsanordnungen: einen Prozessorbaustein 30, der an den Steuerbus 16 angeschlossen ist und den schrittweisen Prozessablauf eines Benutzerprogrammes steuert, einen Prozessorprogrammspeicher 31, dessen gespeichertes Prozessorprogramm unmittelbar den einzelnen Prozessschritten des Prozessor-Bausteines 3o zuqeordnet ist und die Programmsprache für den ProgrammabLauf des Prozessor- Bausteines festlegt und mit seinen Busausgängen an den Steuerbus 16 und an einen Daten- und Addressenbus 32 angeschlossen ist, einen ebenfalls an den Steuerbus und den Daten- und Addressenbus angeschlossenen Rechnerbaustein 33 für die bei einem Home-Computer erforderlichen Rechen- und VergLeichsoperationen, einen an den Daten-und Addressenbus 32 und den Steuerbus 16 angeschlossenen Datenspeicher 34 zur Speicherung der Daten eines Benutzerprogrammes und der während der Rechen- und VergLeichsoperationen anfallenden Daten und Informationen, einen an den Steuerbus 16 und den Daten- und Addressenbus 32 angeschlossenen Zeichengenerator 35, der an seinem Dateneingang anliegende Zeichen in auf dem BiLdschirm 36 der BiLdröhre 7 visuell Lesbare Zeichen und SymboLe umwandelt, eine RGB-Umschalteinrichtung 37, die im Computer-Betriebszustand des Fernsehempfangsgerätes die RGB-Eingänge 38 der der Videosignalverstärkerschaltung 6 und den Synchroneingang 39 der Ablenkschaltung 4o mit den Ausgängen des Zeichengenerators 35 verbindet, und eine an den Steuerbus 16 angeschlossene ComputersteuerschaLtung 41, die bei einem Computer-Schaltsignal beispielsweise vom Fernbedienungsgerät 9 des Fernsehempfangsgerätes die Gerätekombination in dem Computer-Betriebszustand schaltet.To be able to use Un from the
Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Gerätekombination 1/3 durch einen am Fernbedienungsgerät 9 ausgelösten SteuerbefehL, der über die Fernseher-SteuerschaLtung 13 auf den Steuerbus 16 gelangt und über diesen Steuerbus die Computersteuerschaltuna 41 einschaltet, in den Computerzustand gesteuert. In diesem Zustand sind die Bausteine und SchaLtungsanordnungen 30-35 eingeschaltet. Außerdem sind die Aufnahme- und Wiedergabeleitungen 21 des Videorecorders mittels des Signalwequmschalters 22 an eine UmcodierschaLtunn 42 angeschlossen, der den Code der auf dem Videoband 24 gespeicherten Zeichen in einen für die Datenübertragung auf dem Daten- und Addressenbus 32 geeigneten Code umwandelt und umgekehrt. Ferner sind die RGB- und Synchroneingänge der Videosianalverstärkerschaltung 6 und der AbLenkschaltung 4o über die RGB-Umschalteinrichtung 37 mit den Ausgängen des Zeichengenerators 35 verbunden. In das VCR-Gerät 3 ist ein Videoband mit gespeicherten Benutzerprogrammen 44 und gegebenenfalls gespeicherten Prozessorprogrammen 45 eingelegt. In den ersten Programmschritten des Prozessorbausteines wird das VCR-Gerät 3 mittels Steuerbefehlen und Informationen über den Steuerbus veranlaßt, das für die Datenverarbeitung des Fernsehempfangsgerätes 1 erforderliche Prozessorprogramm 45 auf dem Speichermedium 43 aufzusuchen und in den Prozessorprogrammspeicher 31 einzuspeichern, wenn dieser Prozessorprogrammspeicher 31 in einer besonders vorteilhaften AusgestaLtung der Gerätekombination nicht.bereits schon mit einem Prozessorprogramm fest und unLöschbar programmiert ist. Danach wird der Benutzer in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausbildung der dargestellten Gerätekombination durch eine Anzeige auf dem BiLdschirm 36 aufgefordert, das gewünschte Benutzerprogramm auszuwählen. Diese Auswahl kann beispielsweise durch Eingabe einer Kennziffer in die Tastatur 1o des Fernbedienungsqerätes 9 erfolgen, die z.B. anhand einer ProgrammtabeLLe festgestellt wird. Diese Daten gelangen von Ausgang der Empfängerschaltung 11 über eine Ankoppelschaltung 46 auf den Daten- und Addressenbus 32 und von dort beispielsweise in den Datenspeicher 34. Die Ankoppelschaltung setzt im Computer-Betriebszustand des Fernsehgerätes Zeichen am Ausgang der Empfängerschaltung 11 in den auf dem Daten- und Addressenbus 32 verwendeten Zeichencode um. Die Ankoppelschaltung 46 ist nur so Lange an den Daten- und Addressenbus 32 angeschaltet, so lange Daten über die Eingabeeinrichtung 8 angefordert werden. Das gleiche gilt auch für eine AnkoppeLschaltung 47, die den Ausgang der LichtgriffeL-Empfangsschaltung 27 an die Eusse 16 und 23 ankoppelt.
