摘要:
A transfer device for receiving packets that were transmitted by a device in a home network onto a transmission path, and transfers the received packet to another device. The stream to be transferred is classified into three types: (i) a type where each of packets constituting the stream is not attached with a time stamp; (ii) a type where each packet is attached with a valid time stamp; and (iii) a type where each packet is attached with an invalid time stamp. The transfer device determines, from among the three types, the type of the stream to be transferred, based on a transfer source device, transfer destination device, and provider of the stream. The transfer device then selects a transmission method by which to transfer the stream, among the time stamp attachment transmission method and the PCR reference transmission method.

A digital signal magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus modulates a digital signal with a carrier and performs recording/reproducing of the modulated signal. The carrier frequency is made equal to the clock frequency multiplied by a factor (N/M), where N and M are integers. The carrier and clock are reproduced using only one phase locked loop. When the carrier-modulated signal is recorded/reproduced using a magnetic recording medium, the phase of the modulated signal is shifted relative to the phase of the carrier. Shifting the clock phase before using the clock for decoding the demodulated signal prevents a degradation of error rate. By periodically inserting a clock phase reference signal in the recording signal, accuracy of adjustment of clock phase is improved.

The present invention provides a stream recording/reproducing apparatus that records a stream onto a first recording medium without using extra recording capacity of such first recording medium, and then dubs such stream onto a second recording medium at high speed while minimizing the degradation in image quality and sound quality. The stream recording/reproducing apparatus of the present invention includes: an analysis unit (6) that judges whether or not a stream (101) is compliant with the logic specification of a second recording medium (7); a management information recording unit (8) that records a result of the judgment onto a first recording medium (3); a TS recording processing unit (2) that records the stream (101) onto the medium (3); processing units (14) and (15) that convert the stream (101) recorded on the medium (3) into a stream that is compliant with the logic specification of the medium (7) in the case where the stream (101) is not compliant with the logic specification of the medium (7); and a PS recording processing unit (17) that records the converted stream onto the medium (7).

To reduce the waste of the storage capacity of a storage medium as much as possible while realizing high-speed dubbing. A data processor can write a data stream on each of storage media of first and second types and includes: a receiving section for receiving a first data stream; a converting section for converting the first data stream into a second data stream; a processing section for writing the first and second data streams on the first type of storage medium; a playback section for playing back a content based on the first data stream; and an instruction receiving section for receiving, from a user, an instruction on whether the content needs to be dubbed or not. If the user has instructed that the content be dubbed, the processing section reads the second data stream from the first type of storage medium, writes the second data stream on the second type of storage medium, and then deletes the second data stream from the first type of storage medium.
摘要:
In transmission or recording of a digital signal by means of digital amplitude and phase modulation, particularly recording into and reproducing the same from the a magnetic recording medium, a digital amplitude/phase modulated signal to be demodulated is commonly affected by the non-linear amplitude characteristics and the effects of unwanted jitter and envelope variation. As the result, the error rate of decoded data will be increased. For compensation, the Viterbi decoding technique is employed with the use of a weighted distance value calculated by multiplying an Euclidean distance between the signal point of a reproduction signal and the datum point of each code by a positive weighting factor which is determined smaller when the code datum point is located further from the origin point of a coordinate system. Accordingly, the weighted distance of each reproduction signal point from its corresponding datum point can approximately be uniform thus ensuring less error decoding in general.

In the case where rate information is not transmitted on an input bit stream, it was difficult to efficiently record the input bit stream in accordance with the rate of the input bit stream. Therefore, a data recording apparatus is realized which comprises: signal processing means of coding the input bit stream to a recording signal; a packet counter section that counts the number of packets serving as constituting units of the input bit stream, for a fixed time period; a system controller that controls a recording rate on a tape-like recording medium; and recording means of recording the recording signal on the tape-like recording medium, and which is configured so as to calculate the rate of the input bit stream from an output of the packet counter section to control the recording rate, whereby recording can be efficiently conducted in accordance with the rate of an input signal.

The recording section further generates a second recording signal for writing location information, showing where the visual information has been recorded on the information storage medium, on the information storage medium. And the head section writes the location information on the information storage medium based on the second recording signal.

A digital signal magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus converts a digital signal into a multi-value digital signal, followed by recording/reproducing the quadrature biphase modulated multi-value quadrature amplitude modulated signal. By using a multi-value quadrature amplitude modulation, a direct current component in the recorded signal can be eliminated, and the utilization efficiency of the recording frequency band of the digital signal magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus can be improved. Also, with respect to the amplitude non-linear characteristic which occurs in the magnetic recording/reproducing process, by providing a compensating circuit during the mapping before recording or after reproducing and demodulating, the deterioration of the S/N ratio of the reproduced and demodulated signal can be reduced to decrease the errors in the decoded data. Furthermore by bias-recording the multi-value quadrature amplitude modulation signal, the non-linearity of the electromagnetic conversion system is alleviated to decrease the deterioration of the S/N ratio due to distortion, thereby making the application of the modulation scheme more reliable.

A data stream is recorded and reproduced and a recording medium for the same are adapted to record in a control track an identification mark for identifying a specific track within a unit of plural tracks by superposing the identification mark upon a control pulse. A magnetic head travels along a predetermined path in the unit of plural tracks during a high-speed playback operation by phase-locking a rotational phase signal of a cylinder with a divided signal of the control pulse having a specific phase according to the reproduced identification mark.

In a video tape recorder of the color under recording type, in which a low frequency band converted carrier chrominance signal is recorded together with an FM luminance signal, another FM modulator is provided for modulating a wide band chrominance signal. An additional head records the FM chrominance signal on at least a part of a track on which video signal has been recorded in the color under recording. In reproduction, it is checked whether the FM chrominance signal is reproduced or not for selecting the FM chrominance signal or the color under recorded carrier chrominance signal as a reproduced chrominance signal output.
