A VCR for performing a high-speed searching process includes: a video signal input for outputting a video signal sent from a plurality of photographing sections; an encoder for encoding channel information and time information relative to the video signal, and for adding the encoded information to the vertical blanking interval of the video signal; a recording/reproducing section for recording the signal composed by the encoder and reproducing the recorded video signal; a decoder for extracting the channel information and time information inserted by the encoder from video signals outputted from the reproducing section, and for decoding them; a controller for inverting a control pulse at predetermined time intervals when the video signal is recorded to record a point in time within the predetermined time intervals, for searching the recorded point in time within the predetermined time intervals in a high-speed mode based on the channel information and time information transmitted from the decoder when automatic searching is performed during reproduction, and for converting the mode of the VCR into a standard mode, starting from the searched point in time, when a desired point in time has been searched; and a video signal output for externally outputting the video signal sent from the reproducing section.

An information signal processing apparatus according to the present invention is arranged to receive, as an input, an information signal to temporarily store therein the input information signal and to temporarily store therein management information prepared during a recording of the information signal in the recording medium, thereby recording the temporatily stored information signal and management information in the recording medium. Accordingly, it is possible to record an information signal having a large amount of information in the recording medium without lowering a recording speed and it is also possible to easily reduce the size, weight and cost of the apparatus.

A moving image recording apparatus is provided, which allows a user to enjoy reproducing a moving image by easily finding a corresponding desired scene from moving images. A moving image is recorded together with attribute information therefor. Division points at which the moving image breaks on a time base are detected, and the moving image is divided at the detected division points into scenes. The scenes into which the moving image is divided at the detected division points are joined to limit the number of scenes to not more than a predetermined value if the number of the scenes into which the moving image is divided exceeds the predetermined value. Still images are created from respective ones of the scenes the number of which has been limited, and the created still images are recorded as the attribute information.

In addition to image information recorded in a disc, “n” pcs. of selection lists which have their own proper numbers are recorded on the disc. Also, an address list of information stored outside of the disc is recorded on the disc. Each selection list has addresses of inside information of the image information recorded on the disc, one or more selection numbers, and their corresponding selection lists. The address list has selection list identification numbers and addresses corresponding to the selection list identification numbers. During the regular playback operation—playing back the image information recorded on the disc—when a user gives an instruction of selecting outside information, the user can get the address of the outside information from the now used selection list by retrieving the address list.

A digital information recording apparatus having a first recording mode recording a first digital information signal of a first information rate on a magnetic tape and a second recording mode recording a second digital information signal of a second information rate on the magnetic tape. The apparatus includes a circuit which when the second information rate is less than 1/N times the first information rate (N is an integer ≧2), adds a dummy signal to the second digital information signal to make the recording rate of the second digital information signal substantially equal to the recording rate of the first digital information signal and a circuit which multiplexes identification signals for identifying the first and the second digital information signals or the first and the second recording rates on the first or the second digital information signal, for recording.

A magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus having a capability of allowing contents of records on a magnetic tape to be discriminatively identified and a capability for displaying closed caption includes a tape map memory for storing contents recorded on a tape and a tape map controller. As a manual input facility, a tape map button, a caption button, a play-back button, a stop button and others are provided. Upon loading of a tape undergone recording(s), the tape map button is pushed to display on a monitor screen tape map information concerning the contents of program(s) recorded on the loaded tape, temporal duration(s) of the program(s), and history of play-back of the tape.

A tuner 1 receives a TV-broadcast signal from an antenna 6. The TV-broadcast signal is supplied to a demodulator 2. The demodulator 2 demodulates the audio signal and video signal, both contained in the TV-broadcast signal. A CM-detecting section 4 is provided. In the section 4, characteristic patterns are generated at intervals of 15 seconds, 30 seconds and 60 seconds, from the audio and video signals. Then, CM candidates are detected in accordance with the characteristic pattems. Characteristic data representing the characteristics of a CM is extracted from each CM candidate or the audio and video signals preceding and following the CM candidate. The section 4 detects a CM from the characteristic data thus extracted.
摘要:
A video record/playback apparatus for reproducing a video recording medium containing a videogram performs a playback operation of the video recording medium, based on comparison of a program rating corresponding to the videogram and a user rating code determined by a user. In this video record/playback apparatus, a key input unit is used for inputting at least one user rating code and a program rating code corresponding to the videogram. A recording/reproduction unit records the input program rating code on the video recording medium and reproduces the video recording medium. A rating code insertion/separation unit inserts the program rating code into the videogram to be recorded on the video recording medium and separates the program rating code from the video signal supplied from the recording/reproduction unit. A storage unit stores the input at least one user rating code. A controller compares the program rating code from the recording/reproduction unit with the stored at least one user rating code and controls the operation of the recording/reproduction unit to perform a playback operation of the video recording medium according to the comparison result.
