Abstract: VPI/VCI of an ATM cell is translated into an internal ID by distribute VPI/VCI entries into sections in a table according to a portion of each VPI/VCI entry. A section to be searched according to the portion of a VPI/VCI of the received ATM cell is selected; and a search over the selected section is performed to find an entry corresponding to the VPI/VCI of the received ATM cell. An internal ID corresponding to the found entry is outputted.

Abstract: An information processor for recoding at least two different types of content-related data. The first recording means records a predetermined number of types of data related to a first content as a first main data group, and records a predetermined number of types of data related to a second content as a second main data group. The second recording means records data of types related to the first content but not in the first main data group as a sub data group, and records data of types related to the second content but not in the second main data group the sub data group.

Abstract: A data network has a bus to which are connected a given node, a parent node and a child node; and arbitration over acquisition of the bus is performed before data is communicated between nodes. Transition to an initial state in a self identification phase, in which the given node is enabled to respond to an arbitration signal received from the parent node, is controlled by receiving at the given node a SELF_ID packet representative of the child node, as well as the arbitration signal (SELF_ID_GRANT) from the parent node, which would enable the given node to transmit to the parent node a SELF_ID packet representative of the given node. The initial state is assumed at the given node, from which the SELF_ID packet is permitted to be transmitted from the given node to the parent node, if reception of the arbitration signal from the parent node is completed at the given node.

Abstract: A CCD image sensor 14 uses sufficiently more pixels than those in an output image. A pixel number conversion block applies pixel number reduction conversion to an image pickup signal from the CCD image sensor 14. This signal is output as a monitor output or motion-picture recording signal via a terminal 43. Converting the multi-pixel image signal to a reduced image can provide an output image with improved sharpness.

Abstract: There is provided an image reproducing apparatus and an image reproducing method which allow reproducing speed to be shifted instantly when a change of the reproducing speed is requested in a multi-channel AV (Audio Visual) server. When a request to reproduce an image is made, the image reproducing apparatus reads image data of the part corresponding to the requested reproducing speed out of the HDDs to store in a temporary storage section. Then, an image output I/F reads the image data stored in the temporary storage section and structures a reproduced image by using the image data. In this case, a controller section controls a pattern in reading the divisional data by the image output I/F and structures a reproduced image by means of various reproducing speeds by this reading pattern.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a high-speed image pickup apparatus, which can easily obtain the same image quality as that of the standard-speed image pickup by simply converting a high-speed video signal into a plurality of standard-speed video signals. Since the video camera system comprises a video camera for outputting a video signal by picking up an object at a high speed, a transmitting path for transmitting the video signal and a CCU for signal-processing the transmitted video signal, and divides the high-speed video signal into a plurality of standard-speed video signals directly or by providing a blank field as an additional period by the video camera, transmits the plurality of standard-speed video signals by the transmitting path, and arranges and outputs the plurality of standard-speed video signals at every unit period T by the CCU.
