Abstract

An interface (10) for connecting a calculator (12) to a standard television (11), so that the calculator's display can be re-displayed on the television (1). The interface (10) is useful with different calculators having different display formats. Reformatting of the input signal is accomplished by dividing format detection and reformatting tasks between a field programmable gate array (21) and a microprocessor (23).
