Abstract: A system for defeating erroneous correction in a digital signal reproducing apparatus. The system includes a reproducing circuit for reproducing a signal sequence in which information words and error correcting words are interleaved. A memory stores the reproduced digital signal sequence and produces a digital signal sequence made up of the information words and error correcting words, which are then de-interleaved and arranged in an original sequence. A correcting circuit corrects adjacent errors with respect to the digital signal sequence produced from the memory. A digital-to-analog converter converts a digital information signal obtained from the correcting circuit into an original analog information signal. The correcting circuit calculates partial syndromes according to predetermined equations and detects the number of erroneous words in one block which is made up of interleaved words.

Abstract: A double error correcting system is used in a digital signal reproducing apparatus, which is capable of correcting errors in two information vectors (information words) among a plurality of information vectors within one block by use of elements in a small number of correcting matrices and by using a memory device having a small memory capacity. A register is not required for temporarily storing the operational result obtained half-way between a plurality of performed operations. Instead, corrected information vectors are obtained from a memory circuit.

Abstract: A portable television camera which can be adapted for right-handed and left-handed users in which the handgrip, an electronic view finder with an eye cap and a shoulder pad are designed so as to be interchangeably attached to a camera body housing to adapt the camera to either right or left-handed users.

Abstract: A memory control system comprises a first memory supplied with an incoming modulated digital signal which is formed by subjecting an analog signal to digital signal processing of discontinuous level modulation system, and a first control circuit for supplying a control signal to the first memory. The first control circuit producing the control signal for controlling the first memory in such a manner that the total memory capacity of the first memory is partitioned into a plurality (k) of memory capacity segments having given capacity values (lengths) for use, and the modulated digital signal is written in and further the modulated digital signal thus written in is read out with the order thereof rearranged, interrelatedly with the circulation of addresses through the plurality of divided memory capacity segments while maintaining constant the relationship in terms of capacity values (lengths) between the plurality of divided memory capacity segments.
