  • Patent number: 6826181
    Abstract: There is disclosed a packet transmission apparatus for transmitting in a packet form a transmission unit including a data string arranged so as to divide predetermined data into a plurality of blocks, each block having a fixed length, block information for specifying the block type being added to each block. A DIF data processing circuit generates a transmission header having a new identifier by deleting predetermined redundancy information from the block information belonging to the plurality of blocks based on inputted data string, and then, generates a transmission unit having the generated transmission header. Next, a transmission terminal unit transmits the generated transmission unit by way of a transmission line.

  • Patent number: 6424483
    Abstract: A magnetic recording and reproducing device according to the present invention operates with steps of moving a magnetic tape having a plurality of tracks per frame and a plurality of control signals recorded thereon, keeping count of the pulses of a frequency generator signal corresponding to the rotation of a capstan motor by a frequency generator counter, resetting the count of the frequency generator pulses by the control signal reproduced by a fixed magnetic head, detecting the track number by the control signal counter reset by a frame reference signal, controlling, at the start, the start timing on the basis of the tape stop position detected by the frequency generator pulse counter and control counter and the reference frame signal from the reference frame signal generator. The device prevents thinning of tracks at the editing point in after-break recording and the disturbance of images immediately after the start.
