Patent number: 7231130Abstract: A magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus having a capability of allowing contents of records on a magnetic tape to be discriminatively identified and a capability for displaying closed caption includes a tape map memory for storing contents recorded on a tape and a tape map controller. As a manual input facility, a tape map button, a caption button, a play-back button, a stop button and others are provided. Upon loading of a tape undergone recording(s), the tape map button is pushed to display on a monitor screen tape map information concerning the contents of program(s) recorded on the loaded tape, temporal duration(s) of the program(s), and history of play-back of the tape.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2002Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Shoji Ohno, Motoyoshi Sasaki, Hisashi Ohta, Yoshiyuki Azuma, Hiroto Yamauchi, Katsuhiko Abe, Mayumi Ueyama

Patent number: 6987924Abstract: A recorder/reproducer for recording and reproducing signals such as video and audio signals has first and second recording media. When an input signal is recorded on the first recording medium, it is once recorded on the second recording medium, and a certain time later it is transferred to the first recording medium, thus recorded thereon. During this certain time, other signal processings are made, such as recording/reproduction of other signals and discrimination of commercials from the program itself. In addition, when a signal is reproduced from the first recording medium, the signal is once recorded on the second recording medium, and a certain time later reproduced and supplied, and thus similarly other processings can be made during this certain time.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1999Date of Patent: January 17, 2006Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Kouji Fujita, Hideo Nishijima, Motoyoshi Sasaki

Patent number: 6587638Abstract: A recording/reproducing apparatus is provided for effecting digital processing to convert an analog video signal into a digital signal without losing character data superimposed over a vertical blanking period of the analog video signal. The recording/reproducing apparatus for converting the analog video signal into the digital signal and recording/reproducing the converted digital signal has a detector which detects character data, which is superimposed over the vertical blanking period of the received analog video signal, at the recording time. A superimposer which encodes the detected character data and superimposes the encoded character data over a digital signal from which the character data was removed, whereby the digital signal with the superimposed character data is recorded on the recording media.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1999Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Katsuyuki Watanabe, Hideo Nishijima, Hiroo Okamoto, Motoyoshi Sasaki
