摘要:
By introducing a new copy control system into video signals subjected to picture quality restriction satisfactory only in small-sized PMP displays, a new business model in which copyrighters, consumers and makers can have mutual prosperity is created. “A new copy control rule of prohibiting a video signal output with a picture quality equivalent to that at time of recording from being copied, but permitting a video signal sufficiently degraded in picture quality as compared with time of recording to be copied” is added to the copy-never, copy-one-generation, and copy-free states belonging to the conventional copy control rule. The quality for which the copyrighter can permit copying corresponds to half the current number of DVD pixels. If a quality restricting scheme of thinning out pixels to half compared with time of recording is used, therefore, needs of consumers desiring to enjoy PMPs are satisfied while protecting rights of copyrighters.

It is a task of this invention to create a novel system (ubiquitous movie) that brings benefits to both a copyright holder of video information such as movies and general consumers who want to enjoy viewing the video information.As for high image quality video information that the copyright holder wants to keep in a copy prohibited condition or the like, a copyright control such as copy prohibited condition is performed as is done with DVDs. In addition to the high image quality video information, a medium is recorded with another piece of video information whose image quality is limited to less than half the resolution of the high image quality video information, at which level the copyright holder can afford to permit the video information to be copied. This low image quality video information is attached with copyright protection information allowing copy, move and download operations as it is recorded in the medium. From this video information-recorded medium, the video information with the limited resolution is read out and recorded in a small medium that is easy to handle outdoors. The small medium containing the video information with the limited resolution is played in a video player that has a small display showing the played back video information.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving digital information including video information and audio information. The video information is compressed by a first compression method and the audio information is compressed by a different second compression method for transmission on a transmission path.
摘要:
A transmitting apparatus and method for transmitting a digital signal in which a time-base compressor compresses the digital signal, a bit compressor compresses the time-base compressed signal from the time-base so that a transmission rate of the time-base compressed signal from the time-base compressor is higher than a transmission rate of the bit-compressed signal from the bit-compressor, and a transmitter transmits the bit compressed signal.

A transmitting apparatus and method for transmitting a digital signal in which a bit-compressor bit-compresses the digital signal, a time-base compressor time-base compresses the bit-compressed signal from the bit-compressor so that a transmission rate of the time-base compressed signal from the time-base compressor is higher than a transmission rate of the bit-compressed signal from the bit-compressor, and a transmitter transmits the time-base compressed signal.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
A processing system and a recording/reproducing system for a digital signal including a digital video signal and a digital audio signal. 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.

摘要:
A method for digital information including at least one of digital video information and digital audio information to a transmission path. The method includes compressing the digital video information by a first compression method, bit compressing the digital audio information by a second compression method which is different from the first compression method, and adding error-detection information to both the digital video information and the digital audio information.
