ABSTRACT:
A signal monitor apparatus displays an envelope image of an audio signal together with an image of a related video signal on a picture screen of a monitor. When applied to a system including a plurality of signal sources and corresponding systems, the signal monitor apparatus can monitor the whole system as a whole and therefore the operator can reliably monitor abnormalities, such as a wire break or other trouble. This signal monitor apparatus comprises signal sources, an A/D converter (14) for converting audio signals from the signal sources into digital signals, a decimation filter (15) and a rounder (16) for compressing timebases of the outputs from the A/D converter (14), a data converter (17), a RAM (18), a timing controller (19) and a video circuit (21) for converting the compressed outputs into video signals, a video mixer (23) for mixing original video signals and the converted audio signal converted into a video signal and a monitor (24) for displaying a mixed output.
