Picture Sound Features

The hierarchy of menus and controls is
represented by an animated visual mechanism of
pipes, balls and a puck. Unlike a map, however, the
animated mechanism constantly shows the current
whereabouts, continually expands the view of the
immediate neighbourhood.

The puck surrounds the ball indicating the user’s
current position in the menu hierarchy.The puck is
always present when the menu system is displayed.
The puck is divided into 4 parts.They correspond
to the directional controls (up/down, left/right) on
the remote control.The arrows on the cursor
indicate which directions to choose. In this way
users can navigate through the menu hierarchy to
the control they wish to adjust.

When menu items are more numerous than can
fit comfortably on the TV display, only a portion
are shown.
Those omitted are indicated by a cluster of balls
which indicates that there are ‘more’ below.
