Abstract:
An apparatus for receiving digital information including a receiver which receives the digital information that has digital video information bit-compressed by a first compression system, digital audio information bit-compressed by a second compression system, and error-detection information added to both the digital video information and the digital audio information. There is also provided a demodulator which demodulates the digital information received by the receiver, an error detector which detects an error of digital information demodulated by the demodulator by use of the error-detection information, a first expander which bit-expands video information among the digital information error detected by the error detector corresponding system, and a second expander which bit-expands audio information among the digital information error detected by the error detector corresponding to the second compression system.
Abstract:
A digital information transmitting, receiving and/or recording/reproducing system, provided with the digital information transmitting apparatus for transmitting the digital information to a transmission path, a receiving apparatus for receiving the transmitted digital information and a recording/reproducing apparatus for the recording received digital information to a recording media and reproducing therefrom. The apparatus includes a compressor which compresses the digital information, a transmission parity signal adder which adds a transmission parity signal to the output signal of the compressor in order to correct an error occurring in the transmission path, wherein the transmission parity signal is different from a record parity signal to be added at the recording apparatus and a transmitter which transmits the transmission parity signal added compressed digital information added by the transmission parity signal adder to the transmission path.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an information providing system. More particularly, this invention relates to an information management apparatus capable of reliable management of distributed information and an information providing system employing the same information management apparatus. The information management apparatus comprises a main information reproducing means for reproducing main information recorded in a given recording medium; and a reproduction management means for managing the main information reproducing means for reproducing the main information. The present invention provides a receiving means provided with a means for recording distributed information and control information limiting the number of main information reproducing cycles on a recording medium, and a main information reproducing means provided with a reproduction disabling means for limiting the reproduction of main information.
Abstract:
An information recording and/or reproducing apparatus including a record parity signal adder for receiving error corrected compressed information and an error corrected control signal both of which have been corrected based upon a transmission parity signal added to the compressed information and to the control signal. The record parity signal adder adds a record parity signal to the compressed information which is different from the transmission parity signal. A modulator is provided for modulating the record parity signal added compressed information and a recorder is provided for recording the compressed information modulated by said modulation means. A controller is provided for controlling a start of recording of the recorder based upon the error corrected control signal.
Abstract:
A receiving apparatus for receiving a transmitted bit-compressed signal and a transmitted control signal which controls a performance of a recording apparatus. The transmitted bit-compressed signal and the transmitted control signal are transmitted after adding of a parity signal thereto and effecting modulation thereof. The receiving apparatus includes a reception unit for receiving the transmitted bit-compressed signal and the transmitted control signal, a demodulator for demodulating the bit-compressed signal and the control signal outputted by the reception unit in a manner corresponding to the modulation thereof. An error correcting unit receives the demodulated bit-compressed signal and the demodulated control signal for correcting errors therein in accordance with the parity signal added thereto and for at least outputting an error-correcting bit-compressed signal and an error-corrected control signal. A control circuit is provided for detecting the error-corrected control signal from the error correction unit and for controlling performance of the recording apparatus in response to the detected error-corrected control signal. Furthermore, a bit expansion unit is provided for receiving the error-corrected bit-compressed signal and for bit-expanding the error-corrected bit-compressed signal corresponding to the bit-compression thereof.
Abstract:
A processing system and a recording/reproducing system for a digital signal including a digital video signal and a digital audio signal are disclosed. Upon transmission, the digital signal is transmitted after time-base compression and modulation. The transmitted signal is received and demodulated. In the case where the signal is to be transmitted to a plurality of recording/reproducing systems, address signals designating ones of the plural recording/reproducing systems and a control signal for controlling the start/stop of recording are transmitted. The recording by the recording/reproducing system is controlled so that it is made with the same format in either normal-speed or high-speed mode or in either normal or multiple recording mode.

Abstract:
This invention relates to an error correction upon reproduction of digital signals. The error correction is performed by decoding code words such as cross-interleaved Reed Solomon codes, in which first code blocks are formed by a plurality of information words which are in the first arrangement state and a plurality of first check words which are produced by codes associated with the plurality of information words with a Hamming distance of d.sub.1, and second code blocks are formed by a plurality of information words and a plurality of first check words which are in the second arrangement state and which consist of the said plurality of information words and the said plurality of first check words which are respectively included in the different first code blocks, and by a plurality of second check words which are produced by codes associated with the plurality of information words and the plurality of first check words with a Hamming distance of d.sub.2. At the first decoding stage, errors are detected and at the same time the flags indicative of the decoding states are added with respect to the second code blocks. At the second decoding stage, in accordance with the contents of the flags and on the basis of a combination of p.sub.2 and q selected from their combinations satisfying 2p.sub.2 +q.ltoreq.d.sub.1 -1, errors are detected and errors of p.sub.2 words are corrected and erasures of q words to which the flags were added are corrected with respect to the first code blocks.
