  • Publication number: 20100060789
    Abstract: The display information generating unit manages a first plane that contains video information and a second plane that contains first still information and second still information, and merges the first plane and second plane. The control unit adds at least one of the first still information and second still information to the second plane when an interrupt signal is generated. If the display area of the video information is the full display area of the display screen, the control unit starts a screen saver operation that changes the first still information after a first predetermined period from a time point of the interrupt signal. If the display area of the video information is smaller than the full display area of the display screen, the control unit starts a screen saver operation that changes the second still information after a second predetermined period from a time point of the interrupt signal.

  • Patent number: 7450822
    Abstract: An input video signal is recorded, as a moving picture, in a first storage medium with a first compression technique. The input video signal is further recorded, as a moving picture, in a second storage medium different from the first storage medium in storage format with a second compression technique different from the first compression technique. The input video signal is simultaneously recorded in the first and second storage media. Edit data to be used in edition of a video signal recorded on a video tape is formed. Moving-picture files and a data file are retrieved from a storage medium. Each moving-picture file is formed for one cut located between recording start and recording stop in one-time recording of the video signal on the video tape. The data file includes a plurality of pieces of first time information and second time information. Each information corresponds to one of the moving-picture files. The first time information indicates a recording-start time per cut.

  • Patent number: 7230650
    Abstract: The present invention is relative to a video signal transmitting/receiving system in which digital video signals are transmitted from a transmitter (30) to a receiver (50) using a line (9) as a transmission channel. The transmitter (30) converts the video signals to be transmitted to a bit string longer in data length than a pixel making up the video signals, allocates a plural number of the bit strings to a blanking period during which pixel data in the pixel string is not transmitted and, using these bit strings, transmits the same superposed data a plural number of times. The receiver (50) extracts the specified bit strings indicating the blanking period from the received data and performs majority processing on the results of demodulation of the extracted bit strings to decide on output data. This reduces errors in reception of supplementary data to simplify the circuit structure as well as to ameliorate the error rate.
