摘要:
A television signal format converter is provided for converting without loss of picture information any high definition television format to or from a given recorder/player format. An interface converts between RGB and luminance/chrominance inputs and between analog and digital inputs. The interface couples any proposed high definition television format to a plurality of pairs of memories. A clock and control circuit controls addressing of the memories for reading and writing so that conversion is performed between any high definition television format and the format required for a given high definition digital video tape recorder or any other comparable recorder.

Apparatus for coding a television signal in common image format in which the video frame rate may have any one of a plurality of predetermined different values and the number of pixels or the spatial resolution per video frame of which is the same for all frame rates, comprises a video encoder for coding the video information of each video frame into a format suitable for recording in oblique tracks on a magnetic tape, and an audio encoder for coding the audio information associated with each video frame into blocks for recording with the video information, each audio block comprising digital audio data and a pointer indicating that portion of the block containing the audio data, and preferably also the sample rate of the audio data.

Method of integrating 30 or 60 frame/s format material and 60 field/s 2:1 interlace scan format digital video signal to produce a 60 field/s 2:1 interlace scan format digital video signal by producing a progressive scan format digital video signal from the format material, converting the progressive scan format digital video signal to a 60 field/s 2:1 interlace scan format digital video signal and combining the converted signal with the 60 field/s interlace scan format digital video signal.
摘要:
A reproducing apparatus reproduces a video signal of a certain system having a field frequency F1 and a number N1 of horizontal scanning lines within one field period which has been recorded on a magnetic tape travelling at a speed S1 along plurality tracks formed obliquely relative to the longitudinal direction of the tape and mutually parallel, converting the video signal to a video signal of another system having a field frequency F2 and a number N2 of horizontal scanning lines. The reproducing apparatus comprises a means for causing the tape to travel at a speed S2 which is represented by the equation S2=(F2/F1)S1, and a means for causing the rotary heads to trace each track on the travelling magnetic tape thereby utilizing a signal over tracing range of a length l2 substantially as a reproduced signal corresponding to unit field amount, the length l2 being represented by the equation l2=(N2/N1)l1, wherein l1 is the length of the recording track corresponding to unit field amount of the recorded signal on the magnetic tape.
摘要:
Periodic signals, for example sonar returns, to be displayed on a conventional television monitor are sampled and put into storage registers at a first rate. The storage registers are emptied at a second rate and the information is placed onto a video magnetic disk. For each sonar transmission a number of samples of the return signal are placed into, and read out of, the storage registers, during each revolution of the disk, as the return is coming in, to build up a television display signal indicative of the sonar return.
