Abstract:
The present invention is applied, for example, to an imaging device for recording an imaging result onto an optical disc by the Quick Time file format. Management information for managing a particular area interleaved and recorded is allocated and a real data block is formed, so that the particular area can be managed by the management information and the block based on the management information.
Abstract:
A method for decoding multiword information comprises steps (a) to (e). In step (a), a multiword information cluster, e.g., ECC, including high protective codewords, e.g., BIS, and low protective codewords, e.g., LDC, is provided. In step (b), the high and low protective codewords are stored into a first memory, e.g., DRAM. In step (c), the high protective codewords are decoded to generate high protective word erasure indicators showing whether decoding errors occur. In step (d), the high protective word erasure indicators are stored into a second memory, e.g., SRAM. In step (e), the low protective codewords are decoded. In the meanwhile, an erasure bit for a low protective codeword is marked by finding high protective codewords close to the low protective codeword in the multiword information cluster and looking up the high protective word erasure indicators of the high protective codewords close to the low protective codeword.
Abstract:
A data storage medium is disclosed, that comprises a digital data area in which encrypted digital data or non-encrypted digital data is written, a control data area in which control data necessary for reproducing recorded digital data is written, and a copyright control information area in which copyright control information necessary for decrypting encrypted digital data is written, wherein said copyright control information area is write-prohibited, and wherein said control data area is write-permitted.
Abstract:
A signal processing technique has been described for generating and processing trick play information for recording on a record carrier. First outer error correction coding ECC1(10) is carried out on N trick play sync blocks in memory MEM1 (8), to generate M trick play sync blocks of parity. MEM2 (20) receives sync blocks from MEM1 and normal play signal processing unit (5). Second outer error correction coding ECC2 (22) is applied on the P sync blocks of MEM2 to generate Q parity sync block. Then inner error correction coding ECC3 (24) is carried out. The order in which trick play sync blocks are supplied by first ECC to second ECC is different to order in which third ECC supplies trick play signal to writing means.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for cross interleave Reed-Solomon code correction comprising the steps of:
inputting of a first C1 codeword into C1 decoder means from a first memory means, outputting of a second C1 codeword into a second memory means from the C1 decoder means, de-interleaving the second C1 codeword to produce a first C2 codeword in the second memory means.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of decoding a stream of channel bits of a signal relating to a binary channel (21, 30) into a stream of source bits of a signal relating to a binary source (40). This binary channel comprises a main channel (21) and a secondary channel (30). This secondary channel is embedded in the main channel. In order to correct errors in the stream of secondary channel bits a stream of corrected main channel bits is used. This stream of corrected main channel bits is reconstructed from a stream of corrected source bits (25). The secondary channel can be embedded in the main channel in different manners, e.g. via multi-level coding or via merging-bit coding. The invention further relates to a device for decoding.
