Abstract

A video apparatus such as a television signal receiver enables a video display that readily indicates the detected degree of a video attribute such as motion and/or other video attribute present in the video display. According to an exemplary embodiment, the video apparatus includes first circuitry operative to receive video data. Second circuitry is operative to enable a video display corresponding to the video data. The video display includes first and second video attributes. The first video attribute varies in proportion to a detected degree of the second video attribute.

Claims (17)

1. A video apparatus, comprising:

means for receiving video data, said video data comprising motion;

means for detecting said motion;

means for enabling a video display of a pixel within a location of said motion in response to said detected motion to indicate a location of said detected motion, said video display including a first video attribute and said motion, wherein said first video attribute includes luminance; and

wherein said first video attribute of said pixel varies in proportion to a detected degree of said detected motion.

2. The video apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said video display enables selection of one or more control settings related to said detected motion.

3. A method for enabling a video display, comprising steps of:

receiving video data, said video data comprising motion;

detecting said motion;

enabling said video display of in a pixel within a location of said motion in response to said detected motion to indicate a location of said detected motion, said video display including a first video attribute and said motion, wherein said first video attribute includes luminance; and

wherein said first video attribute of said pixel varies in proportion to a detected degree of said detected motion.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein said video display enables selection of one or more control settings related to said detected motion.

5. A television signal receiver, comprising:

first circuitry operative to receive video data and detect motion within said video data;

second circuitry operative to enable a video display of in a pixel within a location of said motion in response to said detected motion to indicate a location of said detected motion, said video display including a first video attribute and said motion, wherein said first video attribute includes luminance; and

wherein said first video attribute of said pixel varies in proportion to a detected degree of said detected motion.

6. The television signal receiver of claim 5 , wherein said video display enables selection of one or more control settings related to said detected motion.
