ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an video displaying apparatus for an internet set top box, which has a video memory for storing pixel data corresponding to a scanning line of a TV signal, and a method for scrolling screen fast. The video displaying apparatus comprises a memory; a data processor for converting a received video signal into pixel data and storing the pixel data in the memory; four FIFO memories for temporarily storing pixel data of a scanning line of a TV signal from the memory; a MUX for sequentially selecting the FIFO memories one by one and outputting the pixel data from the selected FIFO memory; an RGB converter for converting the pixel data through the MUX into RGB signals, a Y/C converter for converting the RGB signals into composite analog signal consisting of luminance and chrominance signals; and a controller for controlling the data movement from the memory to the FIFO memories and output selection of the MUX. The fast screen scrolling method, which utilizes a address table containing the start addresses pointing each scanning line data stored in the memory and selects a start address to be read out first in the address table sequentially and circularly, thereby enabling a minimum data to be moved in the memory, so that fast scrolling on a screen is achieved.
