Application No. 08/506,645
1. A position inputting device for use with video
signal processing, comprising:
operating means movable in arbitrary directions;
two-dimensional position detection means for
detecting the operating positions of said operating
means and generating two dimensional first and
second coordinate data;
a switch;
control means for switching said operating
position between two-dimensional first and second
coordinate data and one dimensional coordinate data,
responsive to first and second actuating states of
said switch, respectively; and
picture processing means for moving a
predetermined position of video signals within a
picture based on the first and second coordinate
data when said switch is in the first state and for
altering a range of positions of the video signals
within the picture based on the one-dimensional
coordinate data when the switch is in the second
state.
