Signal output apparatus

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a signal output apparatus wherein even while a signal is output, a CPU section can execute other processes at the same time.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a signal output apparatus capable of reducing cost by eliminating the labor and time for obtaining software used for processing the output of a carrier.
According to the present invention, there is provided a signal output apparatus having: a CPU section; output data storage means for storing an output data given by the CPU section; a main clock signal generating means outputting a main clock signal; count means for generating a timing signal used for representing the output data in accordance with the main clock signal generated by the main clock signal generating means; output control means for generating an output control signal whose level changes with the contents of the output data, in response to the timing signal; and signal output means for receiving the main clock signal and the output control signal for outputting the main clock signal intermittent in response to the level change of the output control signal.
According to the present invention, there is also provided a remote control commander having: a CPU section; output data storage means for storing an output data given by the CPU section; a main clock signal generating means outputting a main clock signal; count means for generating a timing signal for representing the output data in accordance with the main clock signal generated by the main clock signal generating means; output control means.
for generating an output control signal whose level changes with the contents of the output data, in response to the timing signal; signal output means for receiving the main clock signal and the output control signal for outputting the main clock signal intermittently in response to the level change of the output control signal; and conversion means for receiving the intermittent main clock signal and generating a remote control signal
