  • Video reproduction controller for controlling reproduction of a recorded special video and a storage medium for the video reproduction controller
    Patent number: 6731860
    Abstract: When, during the replay of the VTR, time codes are sent to the control unit and the special part detection device supplies detection data to the control unit, the control section displays an indication of the special parts being detected and the time codes found and transferred at detection time on the display device and the video monitor, and writes the detection data and the corresponding time codes into the memory. Hence, the contents of the special parts detected in the reproduced video (tape scratch, flicker, special pattern, or change in average luminance, and the levels of these) and the time codes found and transferred at detection time are stored, thus enhancing the efficiency of the editing of cutting off the special parts.
