  • Publication number: 20050265699
    Abstract: A demultiplexer unit separates a transport stream (TS) of an input digital broadcast into video information and audio information. A video decoder decodes the video information output from the demultiplexer unit to output a video signal. An encoder encodes the video signal output from the video decoder. A buffer stores the audio information output from the demultiplexer unit. A remultiplexing unit multiplexes video information encoded by the encoder and the audio information stored in the buffer. An HDD stores the video and audio information multiplexed in the remultiplexing unit.

  • Patent number: 5612766
    Abstract: A device for regenerating a sheet-like recoding medium which feeds a printed sheet-like recording medium. A regenerating treatment unit eliminates a image formed on the recording medium. The recording medium is then discriminated and separated based on whether the regenerated recording medium is reusable or not and whether the regenerated recording medium is to be treated again by the regenerating treatment unit, and a storing unit stores the separated reusable recording medium. Further, a control section controls the regenerating treatment unit to treat the regenerated recording medium again when the regenerated recording medium is judged to be treated again by the regenerating treatment unit.
