    摘要: A recording/reproducing apparatus for reproducing recorded encoded picture data from a recording medium in varying speed without picture disruption. The recorded picture data are read from the recording medium and stored in a buffer memory. A detection circuit detects a picture header in the stored picture data and, depending upon the results of such detection, may or may not supply a clock signal therefrom. If a picture header is not detected, the detection circuit supplies the clock signal to the buffer memory and a delaying circuit. In response thereto, the stored picture data are read out from the buffer memory and supplied to the delaying circuit so as to be delayed by a predetermined amount prior to being supplied therefrom. If a picture header is detected during varying speed reproduction by the detection circuit, the clock signal is not supplied to the buffer memory and the delaying circuit, whereupon the delaying circuit outputs "0"s for a predetermined time period.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for reproducing digital video signals in which every one-frame data of the digital video signals are recorded on n tracks of a recording medium by an inclined azimuth recording system are varying speed reproduced by a rotary head having n heads with a varying playback speed such that A=a(t.multidot.m.+-.1)/n, where a is a constant equal to 1 or 2 and m is a constant which is an integer other than 0. A picture corresponding to the digital video signals read out with the varying playback speed S is displayed on the screen. In this manner, non-continuous lines caused by temporal difference in neighboring macro-blocks during varying speed reproduction may be rendered less obtrusive for improving the picture quality of the varying speed reproduced picture.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for recording digital video signals in which digital video signals in the form of DCT coefficients, obtained by e.g., discrete cosine transform, are quantized and compressed so as to be recorded on a recording medium. A first quantization step decision unit determines a quantization step in terms of a video segment made up of plural macro-blocks as a unit so that the quantity of quantized data is less than a pre-set data quantity. A second quantization step decision unit determines a quantization step in terms of the macro-blocks as a unit so that the quantity of quantized data is less than the pre-set data quantity. A quantization unit quantizes the digital video signals with the quantization steps determined by the first quantization step decision unit and the second quantization step decision unit. This enables efficient encoding and improved picture quality.

    摘要: An inputted digital signal of a first format (DV video signal) is restored to a variable-length code by having its framing cancelled by a de-framing section 11, then decoded by a variable-length decoding (VLD) section 12, inversely quantized by an inverse quantizing (IQ) section 13, and inversely weighted by an inverse weighting (IW) section 14. Then, required resolution conversion in the orthogonal transform domain (frequency domain) is carried out on the inversely weighted video signal by a resolution converting section 16. After that, the video signal having the resolution converted is weighted by a weighting (W) section 18, then quantized by a quantizing (Q) section 19, coded by variable-length coding by a variable-length coding (VLC) section 20, and outputted as a digital signal of a second format (MPEG video signal).

    摘要: A picture data compressing device has picture data divided by a blocking circuit 1 in to a plurality of blocks, each block consisting of a pre-set number of pixels and shuffled by a shuffling circuit 2. The blocked and shuffled data is transformed by a DCT circuit 3 into data in the frequency domain and re-quantized by a quantization circuit 4, thereby compressing the picture data. A red detector 6 determines whether a block from the shuffling circuit 2 is the red-based block. If the red detector 6 detects a red-based block, a controller 7 controls the quantization circuit 4 so that the quantization step of the quantization circuit 4 will become finer. Thus, the data of the red-based block susceptible to block distortion may be quantized with a finer quantization step for improving reproduction and alleviating block distortion.
