Patent number: 7092192Abstract: The object of the present invention is to reduce the load and specification requirements on the network and the video server. The buffer usage rate is counted and supplied to the tape driving controller 7. In the reproduction mode, the tape driving controller 7 decreases the running speed of a video tape when the buffer usage rate is larger than the proper value. And when the buffer usage rate is smaller than the proper value, the tape driving controller 7 increases the running speed of the video tape. Moreover, in the recording mode, the tape driving controller 7 stops the tape motion temporarily if the transmission speed of the network is slow and the buffer usage rate declines lower than the proper value. And if the buffer usage rate increases over the proper value, the tape driving controller 7 resumes the tape driving to record signals. Thus, the reproduction speed or the recording speed by the tape driving device 3 can be coincided with the transmission speed of the network.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2000Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Mitsugu Yoshihiro

Patent number: 6011898Abstract: The present invention has as its object to reduce the time and and effort in the work of finding a portion necessary for editing work from a video signal recorded on a video tape. A VTR apparatus (12) reproduces a video signal and sampling data showing the start and end of the shot from a video tape (120). A VP circuit (22) reduces the size of the video signal. A detection circuit (24) detects the boundaries of scenes or important portions based on the reproduced sampling data. The sampling memory (30) samples and records the video signal reduced by the VP circuit (22) at a timing of detection of the boundaries of the scene or important portions by the detection apparatus (24). A display device (34) displays the video signal stored in the sampling memory (30) in a predetermined array along with a time code etc.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 1997Date of Patent: January 4, 2000Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kenichi Iwasaki, Mitsugu Yoshihiro, Hirofumi Murakami, Noboru Yanagita

Patent number: 5461519Abstract: A digital tape recording and reproducing apparatus includes a rotary drum, a magnetic tape helically wrapped around the rotary drum, a mechanism for advancing the magnetic tape relative to the rotary drum, and a recording/reproducing magnetic head mounted on the drum which scans the magnetic tape for recording or reproducing digital signals. The digital signals are recorded in, or reproduced from, successive inclined tracks formed on the tape as the tape is advanced. During recording of the signals, a timing signal is generated at a predetermined interval of time after detection of a reference signal that represents a phase of rotation of the drum, and then the timing signal is recorded in at least one of the inclined tracks, interspersed with the digital signals recorded in the track. During reproduction of signals from the tape, the drum phase reference signal is detected and the timing signal is reproduced and detected, and the time interval between detection of the two signals is measured.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1992Date of Patent: October 24, 1995Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Mitsugu Yoshihiro, Yasuo Iwasaki

Patent number: 4791498Abstract: A time base corrector for correcting time base fluctuations in a video signal is effective to remove both low frequency time base fluctuations and repetitive high frequency time base fluctuations repeating at the field period of the video signal.

Patent number: 4438377Abstract: A stop control circuit for a DC motor causes the motor to stop precisely by purely electrical action. A DC motor is provided with a bidirectional driving circuit, a servo circuit for controlling the driving circuit, and a rotation detector associated with the motor shaft to provide a phase signal that depends, in magnitude and polarity, on the particular rotational angle of the shaft, regardless whether the motor is turning. A stop control circuit then includes an amplifier whose output varies according to the phase signal, and a switch that normally provides the servo signal to the driving circuit, but, upon command, switches over to provide thereto the output of the amplifier as a brake signal. Alternatively the rotation detector can include two sensor elements separated by .pi./2, and the stop control circuit can include an inverting amplifier, a non-inverting amplifier coupled to one of the sensor elements, and a switch circuit with inputs coupled respectively to these amplifiers.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1981Date of Patent: March 20, 1984Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Masaaki Sakai, Mitsugu Yoshihiro
