A recording/reproducing apparatus with an editing function delivers a control command to a tape running servo through a system controller of a system control system at the time of phase adjustment, thus to control a capstan motor. At this time, servo status information is delivered from the capstan motor to the system controller through the tape running servo. Whether or not adjustment of tracking is completed is judged in accordance with the above information to automatically carry out adjustment of tracking, thereby making it possible to automatically conduct, at the time of editing, adjustment of tracking, which was carried out by manual operation prior to editing work, without supplementing a new circuit.

In a compact disk player, a demodulator (2) demodulates signals picked up from a disk, an error detection circuit (8) corrects the demodulated data, and an interpolation circuit (10, 12, 14, 16) interpolates output data from the error detection correction circuit according to a result of the error correction. A level setting circuit (10, 12, 16) sets to zero the level of data which has not been error corrected in a peak search, according to the error correction result, and a peak level detection circuit (20, 22, 24, 26) detects a peak level of digital audio signals outputted by the level setting circuit.

A post production offline editing system including a processor programmed to display an initial menu prompting a user to select a multiple camera editing mode (in which the user selects edits while simultaneously viewing scenes from two or more sources), a single camera editing mode, a display edit information mode, or a scene take management mode. Preferably in the single camera edit mode, the user may select a splice (or transition) between two edits by selecting a sequence of items from sequentially displayed transition menus. For example, a first pulldown transition menu prompts the user to select a general transition type such as a "dissolve" or "wipe," and a second pulldown transition menu then prompts the user to select one of several versions of the selected general transition type. In the multiple camera editing mode, the user may select either a set-up mode or an execute mode. In the edit list management mode, the user may select a variety of modes, including a rehearse mode, a list management mode, and a reformat mode. In the display edit information mode, the invention preferably displays a partial edit list and a highlight icon, respectively, in first and second areas of a monitor screen. When a user selects a region of the highlight icon corresponding to a selected edit, the system highlights the selected edit from the displayed list and displays information about the selected edit in a third area of the monitor screen.

A method and apparatus for disabling the effect of copy-protect signals placed in a recording video signals which is based on differences in the characteristics of television and VCR circuitry. Copy-protect signals include pseudo-sync pulses and/or added AGC pulses in the blanking interval of a video signal. The specific method described includes altering the level of the video signal during the vertical blanking interval, e.g., level-shifting, so as to render the copy-protect signals ineffective to prevent unauthorized copying by a VCR. A circuit for achieving the method includes a sync separator for detecting the vertical blanking interval, pulse generating circuits for producing pulses of predetermined widths during this interval, and a summing circuit for summing the predetermined pulses with copy-protect signals thereby to shift their level. An alternative method includes increasing the effective frequency of the copy-protect signals during the vertical blanking interval so as to achieve attenuation and/or low-pass filtering in the VCR circuitry to thereby render the signals ineffective in preventing copying. A circuit for achieving this method includes pulse narrowing and/or pulse multiplication circuitry which effectively increased the high-frequency content of the pseudo-sync and/or AGC pulses.

An improved video recorder/transceiver with expanded functionality ("VCR-ET") including a capability for storing video and video programs in digital format, editing such programs, transferring such programs onto a hard copy magnetic media, and transmitting such programs to a remote location using a second VCR-ET. The increased functionality is realized through the use of analog to digital conversion, signal compression and intermediate storage in an integrated circuit, random access memory. The recorder/transmitter has capabilities to transmit and receive program information in either a compressed or decompressed format over fiber optic lines, conventional phone lines or microwaves.

The present invention is a video signal controller which can operate in one of two modes; play back mode and recording mode. Each camera has its own assigned display monitor and address code sequence. During operation of the video controller, each video signal is combined with its corresponding address signal that identifies from which camera the video signal is originally generated. The video signal and each address signal are then recorded via VTR onto a video tape. When the video signal controller is in play back mode, it extracts the synchronization signal and address signals from signals outputted by the VTR. The address signal and synchronization signals are used to locate and identify proper monitor to display its corresponding segment of signals from the VTR. Each monitor then plays back only those signals generated from its corresponding camera.

A synchronizing circuit for a dubbing apparatus which is capable of a dubbing a signal played back from a playback unit to a recording unit in accordance with the operation of a dubbing command key. The synchronizing circuit essentially includes a circuit for checking the recording unit to determine if the recording unit has been brought into a stable recording condition and for producing a synchronous recording request signal, a device for driving the playback unit in response to the synchronous recording request signal, a circuit for checking the playback unit to determine if the playback unit is ready to playback and for producing a synchronous recording start signal, and a device for driving the recording unit into a recording mode in response to the synchronous recording start signal.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for previewing recorded information. The apparatus includes a selection of back-lit switches, each of which displays audio or video selection information. A user indicates a desired selection for preview by pressing one of the back-lit switches. An audio and video preview of the desired selection is presented to the user by playback of a optical disc or portion thereof.

An apparatus for assembling a video tape has a video tape drive, at least one sound track drive, and a drive coupled connection to provide a synchronous run between the drives under all operational conditions inclusive of standstill, positive acceleration, uniform tape speed and negative acceleration. To compensate for slip of the video tape, there is provided a closed-loop controller for the drive coupled connection.
摘要:
A single unit remote controller adapted to control predetermined functions of first and second video tape recorders (VTR) connected each other for performing a signal transfer between the first and second VTRs is disclosed. The first VTR is preconditioned to be responsive exclusively to a first remote control code signal (code A) and the second VTR is preconditioned to be responsive exclusively to a second remote control code signal (code B) to perform the predetermined functions. The single unit remote controller comprises function keys corresponding to the predetermined functions of the first and second VTRs for commanding remotely the predetermined functions, code generation unit for generating the code A and code B combined in sequence with an interruption of a predetermined time period therebetween in response to a depression of a specific key of the function keys, and, transmission unit for transmitting the code A and code B generated by the code generation means to the first and second VTRs.
