  • Patent number: 6148136
    Abstract: Among the recording/reproducing apparatus such as digital VCR, recording/reproducing and converting may be conducted using digital interface even if there are difference in the type of audio sampling and video compression. DV bus data is provided at digital I/F circuit 2, and A/V separator 101 separates the data into audio and video. The separated audio data undergoes the de-interleave processing at de-interleave instrument 102, and the rate conversion at rate converter 103. The rate- converted audio data undergoes the frame sequence processing and interleave processing at interleave instrument 104. While, the video data is delayed at delay memory 105, where the delay in the audio data processing is taken into account. These audio data and video data are multiplexed at A/V multiplexer 106 to output the DV bus data 3, which is recorded after having been applied with due processing for recording.

  • Patent number: 6044198
    Abstract: Disclosed is a digital signal recording and reproducing device for recording and reproducing a digital video signal. High efficiency encoding means encodes a digital video signal at a high efficiency, and recording means executes a predetermined encoding process for recording on the video data encoded at a high efficiency and records the video data obtained after the encoding process on a recording medium. On the other hand, reproducing means reproduces the video data recorded on the recording medium, executes a predetermined reproduced data processing for reproduction on reproduced video data and then outputs the video data obtained after the reproduced data processing.

  • Patent number: 5589992
    Abstract: In a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus for reproducing a video signal recorded on a video track of a magnetic tape by pair of magnetic heads arranged in a rotation drum so as to oppose to each other at an angle of 180 degrees, while rotating a capstan for moving the magnetic tape in the longitudinal direction, a memory controller controls the reproduced video signal to be written into and be read out from two memories, each of which stores a video signal of at least one field. Then, a quality of image judgment circuit judges a part of the reproduced video signal having a quality of image higher than a predetermined threshold quality level, among a plurality of parts of the reproduced video signal obtained through scan of a pair of magnetic heads.

  • Patent number: 5486930
    Abstract: An apparatus for recording and reproducing a video signal has a recording portion and a reproducing portion. The recording portion has an analog-to-digital converter for converting analog video signal to digital video signal, a wave form data extraction circuit for extracting digital wave form data expressed in 8-bit detail and carried in a vertical blanking period of the video signal, and a converter for converting the digital wave form data to a quantized wave form data expressed in 2-bit detail. The video signal is recorded on a tape together with the quantized wave form data. The reproducing portion has a wave form data selector for selecting the quantized wave form data, a counter converter for converting the 2-bit quantized wave form data to the original digital wave form data of 8-bit detail, and an adder for adding the digital wave form data in a vertical blanking period of the video signal.
