Abstract: A YC separation filter of 3-dimensional YC separation for separating a luminance signal and a chromatic signal adaptively to motion of picture image. The YC Separation filter controls frame delay operation of an input composite video signal per clock period based on an hd signal generated from a sub carrier phase of input composite video signal, and controls frame delay operation of the input composite-video signal per period less than 1 clock by compensation filter based on a sampling phase detection result of the input signal, one frame delayed signal and two frames delayed signal. The YC separation filter obtains one frame delayed signal and two frames delayed signal synchronized to the phase of input composite video signal even the system clock is not synchronized to the input composite video signal.

Abstract: A digital camera is provided with a data amount detector and a clock control circuit. The data amount detector detects the amount of image data stored in an SDRAM in capturing a moving image. The clock control circuit controls a transfer speed of the image data from the SDRAM to a memory card by changing a frequency of a system clock based on the detecting result from the data amount detector. When the data amount is less than a first threshold value set near a lower limit of a memory capacity of the SDRAM, the clock control circuit reduces the data transfer speed by lowering the frequency of the system clock; meanwhile, the data amount is more than a second threshold value set near an upper limit of the memory capacity of the SDRAM, the clock control circuit accelerates the transfer speed by raising the frequency of the system clock.

Abstract: A recording medium controller detects the type of the record format of a recording medium, and sends detection signals to a CPU. The CPU judges whether the record format is suitable for high-speed recording or not. In a case of a general-purpose record format, the CPU detects the presence or absence of existing data in the recording medium. When the existing data is present, whole existing data is stored from the recording medium into an evacuated data area of an internal memory. Upon completing the evacuation of existing data, the recording medium controller reformats the recording medium. Then, moving image data is recorded on the reformatted recording medium. Upon completing the record of whole moving image data, existing data is reconstructed in the recording medium.

Abstract: A recording apparatus for recording compressed video data has compressed video data generator for generating a compressed video data having a plurality of intra frames each of which has no cross-reference to any other frames, and bidirectional interpolated frames and predictive frames each of which has cross-reference to other frame. In the first cycle operation, address detector detects addresses of the intra frames and stores the detected addresses in a memory. A scan information generator generates, with reference to the stored addresses in the memory, scan information for an independent frame including one or two addresses of advanced intra frames and one or two addresses of previous intra frames. The scan information is inserted to each frame and then recorded on a disk. During the reproduce of the disk, the scan information is detected to have a quick access to the intra frame located near by.

Abstract: An adding portion 105 superposes a density signal (a signal having its level changing in accordance with a density of a printed image) from a density signal generator 101 on a carry signal (a signal in the form of a sine wave having a prescribed frequency and a prescribed amplitude) from a carry signal generator 102 to generate an engraving signal. A stylus included in an engraving head 21 reciprocatively vibrates according to the applied engraving signal to engrave cells on a gravure cylinder rotating in the main scanning direction. A sub-scanning motor 107 moves the engraving head 21 in a sub-scanning direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction every time cells for one line in the main scanning direction of the gravure cylinder have been engraved. At this time, the moved amount of the engraving head 21 in the sub-scanning direction is controlled so that cells adjacent in the sub-scanning direction partially overlap with each other in every other line.
