METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING IMAGE INFORMATION TO THE DISPLAY UNIT OF A FLAT SCREEN, FLAT SCREEN AND SET-TOP BOX

摘要

The invention relates to a method for transmitting image information, optionally by means of a set-top box (300), from at least one data source (1a; ; 1n) to an image control unit (22) that controls the display unit (4) of a flat screen (400). According to the invention, the items of image information emitted by the at least one or more data sources (1a; ; 1n) are fed separately to one respective input (241a; ; 241n) of a switching unit (24) via which the image information of one of the data sources (1a; , 1n) is switched to a first output (242) of the switching unit (24) that is connected to the image control unit (22). The data sources (1a; ; 1n) that are suitable for emitting image information and that are for example provided with a graphics module (12) can thus be selected and connected to the image control unit (22) of the flat screen (400) by means of the switching unit (24).
