There is disclosed a vertical synchronizing signal detector circuit for use with a PCM recording/reproducing system which records and reproduces audio signals with pulse code modulation by the use of a home VTR system or a part thereof. The vertical synchronizing signal detector circuit comprises an input terminal for receiving a composite synchronizing signal including a horizontal synchronizing signal and a vertical synchronizing signal, an output terminal for providing a vertical synchronizing pulse synchronized with the vertical synchronizing signal, a clock pulse generator circuit connected to the input terminal and adapted to generate a clock pulse having half the period of the horizontal synchronizing signal and a phase lag therefrom of one-fourth the period thereof, a vertical synchronizing signal extractor circuit connected to the input terminal and the clock pulse generator circuit and adapted to compare the vertical synchronizing signal with a reference waveform pattern for the vertical synchronizing signal so as to generate a vertical synchronizing signal output synchronized with the vertical synchronizing signal only when the comparison results in a complete coincidence, and a vertical synchronizing signal compensator circuit connected to the vertical synchronizing signal extractor circuit and the clock pulse generator circuit and responsive to the vertical synchronizing signal output to provide this output at the output terminal and simultaneously store the same temporarily, the vertical synchronizing signal compensator circuit being also adapted to provide the stored vertical synchronizing signal output at the output terminal when the vertical synchronizing signal output is not received, whereby the vertical synchronizing pulse is produced at correct timing even if the vertical synchronizing signal is absent in the composite synchronizing signal because of a dropout or the like.

A PCM tape recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing an audio signal by using multitrack heads, comprises a frame interleaving device with a high dropout immunity function. The frame interleaving device comprises a distributor for successively distributing continuous interleaved input data between tracks, wihtin a multiplicity of tracks formed by splitting a magnetic tape, at a spacing of at least one track so that said continuous interleaved input data will not be shared between two continuous tracks in the same recording and reproducing direction, a data framing circuit for forming a frame out of data to be distributed to each of said tracks and for applying said frame with a synchronization signal at the top of said frame and with an error detection code at the end of said frame, and a delay circuit for delaying data associated with a track by one frame or more with respect to data associated with a neighboring track in the same recording and reproducing as said track.

A circuit for protecting a horizontal synchronous signal comprises a horizontal synchronous signal detecting circuit responsive to horizontal synchronous pulses included in a composite synchronous signal of a reproduced PCM signal, first and second horizontal synchronous pulse supplementing or adding circuits and an output switching circuit. The output switching circuit operates so that the first supplementing circuit delivers a first supplementary pulse in the absence of a single pulse of the original horizontal synchronous signal, and the second supplementing circuit produces one or more second supplementary pulses in the absence of a plurality of continuous pulses of the original horizontal synchronous signal. When the circuit returns to a condition in which produced horizontal synchronous pulses are synchronous with the original horizontal synchronous pulses, the time interval between adjacent pulses of the original pulses is detected to see whether the interval is either longer or shorter than a predetermined value. As a result, when a pulse first appeared after the returning point is within the predetermined interval, that pulse is removed so that the number of output horizontal synchronous pulses is correct.

A PCM recording reproducing apparatus transforms the audio signal into PCM data for recording the signal as a PCM signal in the television signal format on the video tape used in VTR, and transforms the PCM signal reproduced in the VTR back into the audio signal. The PCM apparatus is provided with a sync signal detection protective circuit which ensure the detection of the sync signal in the reproduced PCM signal. The sync signal detection protective circuit selectively uses two kinds of time gate signals in consideration of skew noises and so on. When skew does not occur, the signal with a short gating duration is selected, and only when skew, dropout, jitter or the likes has occurred failing to sample the sync signal, the signal with a long gating duration is selected.

In a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus of 2-head helical scan type, an overlapping portion is formed at one end of each video track on a magnetic tape, and a PCM audio signal is recorded on this overlapping portion. Video/audio selective switching circuits are disposed on the input or output side of video and audio recording amplifiers, and video/audio selective switching circuits and video/audio playback equalizer circuits are disposed on the output side of video and audio playback amplifiers. Each of the heads acts as both of a video head and an audio head.

An address on a magnetic tape to be searched and a current address of the magnetic tape which is read by playing back the tape are supplied to first arithmetic operation means to produce a signal indicative of the tape length to be fast moved and a signal indicative of the direction of the fast tape movement so that the tape is fast moved in the selected direction in response to the derived direction signal. Second arithmetic operation means watches address pitch signals produced during the fast tape movement and the tape length to be fast moved derived from the first arithmetic operation means, to release the fast tape movement when the predetermined length of tape has been fast moved.

Errors in input data are concealed by interpolation using a mean value and the previous word which are automatically interchanged in accordance with the conditions of occurrence of errors. A series of data words in the input data is first modified into a form in which when the input word is erroneous it is replaced by correct input word immediately preceding the erroneous word. Then, in association with each word in the modified data word series a mean value between words immediately before and after that word or between that word and a word thereafter is produced, and if that word is the replaced word it is further replaced by the mean value produced in association with that data. Thus, an independent error is concealed by a mean value between the correct word immediately before and after the erroneous word while continuous errors are concealed in such a manner that the last erroneous word is replaced by the mean value between correct words occurring immediately before and after the continuous erroneous words and the other erroneous words are all replaced by the correct word occurring immediately before the continuous erroneous words.
摘要:
Digital data units representative of analog audio signal are constructed into a data unit sequence with an error detection code being added to each of the data units for detecting coding errors within the data unit, and data synchronizing signals are inserted one for every predetermined interval of the data unit sequence to constitute a PCM data sequence, which is recorded and reproduced. The number of times of coding errors detected within the data unit by the error detection code during the time period between one data synchronizing signal and the next following data synchronizing signal is monitored and when the number exceeds a first predetermined count, the audio output is muted, and when the number decreases below a second predetermined count which is much smaller than the first predetermined count, the muting mode of the audio output is released to prevent the noise output.

Digital companding without range bits involves comparison of a digital input with predetermined boundaries separating a plurality of numerical ranges, detection of a numerical range to which the digital input belongs, generation of an off-set unique to each numerical range, bit-shifting of the digital input, and addition of the bit-shifted input with the generated off-set to provide a companded digital output which is in one-to-one correspondence to the digital input. The off-set values are stored in a memory.
