First and second pilot signals of different frequencies are recorded in the head entering and head laving sides tracking region, with the first pilot signal being recorded at a predetermined position on the first track which precedes (in the track direction) the second pilot signal recorded at a predetermined position on the second track adjacent to the first track.

Methods and apparatus are provided for recording video signals in a plurality of tracks on a recording medium. In certain embodiments, first and second video signal intervals include respective first and second common sub-area signals representing at least one common sub-area of a video screen. The common sub-area signals of the first and second video signal intervals are recorded at respectively different locations within the plurality of tracks. In certain embodiments, component color video signals including luminance signals and first and second color difference signals are divided into a plurality of discrete cosine transformation (DCT) blocks and blocks representing common respective subdivisions of a video screen are assembled into corresponding macro blocks. Adjacent macro blocks are assembled into super macro blocks which, in turn, are arranged in a shuffled sequence relative to the positions of their subdivisions on the video screen for recording in the shuffled sequence. In certain embodiments, digital video signals representing a video screen are recorded in a plurality of tracks on a recording medium after dividing the digital video signals into a plurality of macro blocks assembled into sub-area groups of the video screen. The sub-area groups are shuffled by forming a sequence of track units each including a plurality of the sub-area groups one each from a respective horizontal division of the video screen. Each track unit is recorded in a respective one of a plurality tracks on the recording medium.

An apparatus and a method for transforming picture information can significantly reduce the bit rate. A picture information transform apparatus for receiving as input the compressed picture information obtained by coding the picture information of a plurality of picture type images by ways of orthogonal transform and motion compensation includes a variable length decoder 4 for performing a variable length decoding operation on the input compressed picture information, an inverse quantizer 5 for inversely quantizing the decoded information, a band limiter 7 for limiting the bandwidth, a quantizer 8 and a bit rate controller 9 for computationally determining the target bits for the coded images of each picture type by adaptively using a plurality of parameters operating as coefficients for the contents of the coded images of the picture type on the bais of the contents of the coded images of the picture type.

In a pixel decoding method and apparatus, pixel dephasing caused for the field DCT mode and the frame DCT mode is to be eliminated to curtail the processing volume without detracting from the properties inherent in a picture produced on interlaced scanning. To this end, if the DCT mode is the field mode, a decimating DCT device for field mode 14 performs 4×4 decimating IDCT. If the DCT mode is the frame mode, the decimating DCT device for frame mode 15 performs IDCT on the totality of coefficients of the DCT block, separates the coefficients into two pixel blocks associated with the interlaced scanning and performs DCT separately for the separated two pixel blocks. The low frequency components of these two pixel blocks are IDCT and the two pixel are synthesized.
摘要:
A digital video recorder or player performing error correction coding and decoding in a two separate or paged memories. During a first phase of operation, previously error-corrected or error-encoded data is read from a first memory while simultaneously new data to be error-encoded or error-corrected is stored in the first memory. Meanwhile, the second memory is used for error-encoding or error-decoding of previously-stored data. In the second phase, the memories reverse roles; the data stored in the first memory is error-encoded or error-corrected while previously error-corrected or error-encoded data is read from the second memory and replaced with new data to be error-encoded or error-corrected. These phases are performed in an alternating fashion throughout a record or playback operation.

The encoded data outputted from a DVD player 1 are outputted to and decoded in the decoders 4-1 to 4-3 of digital television receivers 3-1 to 3-3 through an AV bus 5 comprising the IEEE 1394. When a command for changing a system parameter is inputted to any one of the decoders 4-1 to 4-3, the command corresponding to the change is supplied to the DVD player 1 through the AV bus 5. The DVD player 1 changes the system parameter in response to the command and outputs the system parameter to the respective decoders 4-1 to 4-3 through the AV bus 5. Thereby, the system parameter is changed not only in the DVD player but also in other components.

A MPEG video decoder and MPEG audio decoder respectively decode MPEG video data and MPEG audio data separated by a demultiplexer. A digital interface sends and receives MPEG video data, MPEG audio data and supplementary data between the demultiplexer and external devices. The digital interface detects a flag indicating a discontinuity in a program from an input signal, and a microcomputer performs control so as to initialize the buffer memories.
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:
The television signal recording/reproducing system digitally records and reproduces television signals composed of a luminance signal, a chrominance signal and a resolution compensation signal included in predetermined television scanning lines. The system includes a Y/C separating circuit for separating the luminance signal Y from the chrominance signal C. The luminance signal Y and the resolution compensation signal are combined onto a first signal line. A demodulating circuit demodulates the chrominance signal into a color difference signal and outputs the demodulated signal to a second signal line. A digital video signal recorder digitally process the signals on the first signal line separately from the signals on the second signal line and records the digitally processed signals. In this manner, the resolution compensation signal is processed with the luminance signal and the resolution compensation signal can be accurately recorded.
