A TV card for receiving digital, analogue and audio/visual signals with a common PCMCIA interface

摘要

A TV card 4 with a personal computer memory card international association (PCMCIA) 46 interface comprises a plurality of radio frequency receivers 41 and an audio/video signal receiver 44 for receiving a digital TV signal 1 (DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-H, DVB-S, ATSC, ISDB-T, DMB-T), an analogue TV signal 2 and an audio/video signal 3, e.g. from a VCR, digital camera, DVD player or VCD player providing an S-Video or composite video signal. The digital and analogue TV signals are then demodulated in respective digital and analogue demodulators 42 and 43. All signals are then decoded in decoder 45, and transmitting to a host end 5, via PCMCIA interface 46, for playing simultaneously. Thus, without any additional PCMCIA TV card, the TV card with the PCMCIA interface is capable of receiving various types of TV signals, and additional PCMCIA slots in the host end (e.g. PC, laptop / notebook computer etc) may be avoided.
