In order to increase a coded data buffer size and provide an OSD area within a 16 Mbit memory for picture signals of NTSC and PAL systems, a display data area of the memory is made 2(N+1)/4N times a frame when a picture size is large.

In a decoding/displaying device, the memory capacity or mapping to B pictures is set in consideration of a decoding waiting period, thereby avoiding the competition between a write-in operation and a read-out operation for a memory. Therefore, the decoding operation of coded picture data can be performed with no decoding waiting period.

An apparatus for picture decoding includes a decoder unit for obtaining decoded picture data by decoding coded data of a video signal coded by at least one of intra-frame coding (I frame), inter-frame coding (P frame), and frame-interpolation coding (B frame); a memory unit including a first frame memory, a second frame memory, and a third frame memory commonly connected to one data bus and one address bus; a display unit for reading the decoded picture data stored in the memory unit in field units based on a display synchronization signal and obtaining interlace-scanned display picture data; and a time control unit for reading the decoded picture data from the first frame memory and the second frame memory as reference frames for the B frame, and for controlling a time difference between a time of writing decoded picture data in the third frame memory, and a time of reading decoded picture data for display by the display unit, from the third frame memory, for reading decoded picture data before rewriting the same addresses, thereby attaining simultaneous read and write of the third frame memory at frame units.

A decoding device is provided including a code FIFO memory unit for sequentially storing a bit stream, a barrel shifter for shifting and then outputting codes properly, an accumulator for computing the shift amount of the barrel shifter and issuing a request to read data to the code FIFO memory unit, a DCT coefficient decoder for decoding DCT coefficients, a variable-length code decoder for decoding variable-length codes other than DCT coefficients, a fixed-length code decoder for decoding fixed-length codes, a register unit for storing decoded data, a decoding controller for controlling the decoders in accordance with the decoded data stored in the register unit and decoded data output by the decoders and a memory controller for controlling operations to store DCT coefficients in a memory unit A. The DCT coefficient decoder, the variable-length code decoder and the fixed-length code decoder are connected in parallel to the output of the barrel shifter and the memory controller is controlled by the decoding controller. By virtue of this structure, the decoding device is capable decoding a bit stream comprising variable-length codes mixed with fixed-length codes. The decoding device is also capable of changing processing of a next code in accordance with decoded codes. Further, these operations can be implemented by means of a simple and reasonable configuration. On top of that, the process of decoding codes at a required high speed is carried out by an independent circuit, allowing the processing power of the decoding circuit to be enhanced.

A digital video signal recording and reproducing apparatus and method wherein a basic block is constituted by a plurality of pixels of video signals. A picture data compressing unit effects data compression of the video signals so that a compression data quantity after data compression becomes a constant with respect to a compression block constituted by a plurality of the basic blocks, and the compressed data o the video signals are recorded on a data recording medium. A compression block setting sets a number of the basic blocks to constitute the compression block in response to different operation modes of the digital video signal recording and reproducing apparatus which are different in at least one of resolution of the video signals, recording time and data compression system, and controls the picture data compressing unit so that the number of the compression blocks of the video signals recorded on one track of the data recording medium after data compression by the picture data compressing unit becomes M in a first operation mode, where M is a positive integer, and the number of the compression blocks becomes a positive integer in each of the other operation modes.

In a moving picture data decoding apparatus, the storage of reference picture data in a picture memory is executed by dividing the picture memory into two memory areas. An address generator generates an address so that the reference picture data adjacent to the division may be doubly written into the two memory areas. As a result, the processing can be effected in a predetermined access time period irrespective of the read-out location.

Digital video tape recorder ("VTR") and servo circuit for supporting the display of images during trick play VTR operation. The digital VTR, in one embodiment, having a single pair of heads of alternating azimuths located on a head cylinder one track width apart. The digital VTR records data that can be used to generate images during trick play tape speeds and directions of operation in fast scan tracks defined by the paths the single pair of heads trace over the tape during trick play operation. Each fast scan track crosses multiple normal play tracks. Sync blocks and track identification information are recorded on the tape along with video data. To align the heads with the appropriate fast scan track during trick play operation, a lookup table containing information on the pattern of fast scan tracks recorded on the tape is used. The information stored in the look-up table is compared to sync block number and track number information recorded on the tape to determine haw much the position of the tape must be adjusted to align the heads with the prerecorded fast scan tracks on the tape for the any selected speed and direction of digital video tape recorder operation.

In a reproducing apparatus, a generator circuit for adding copy information during the vertical blanking period of a reproduced video signal output is provided, and copy information in compliance with copy information contained in the reproduced signal is added and delivered. In a recording apparatus, a detection circuit for detecting copy information in an inputted video signal is provided, and permission/inhibition of copy is controlled on the basis of the detected copy information and when copy is permitted, necessary copy information is generated and added to a recording signal.
