摘要:
Disclosed is a magnetic recording-playback apparatus suitable for recording and reproducing a signal including a broad-band composite video signal and a method therefor. The broad-band signal is time-sliced into signals in two channels, and each divided signal is expanded on the time axis so that it is converted into a lower-band signal before being recorded on a magnetic tape. In the time axis expansion process, the vertical blanking signal and/or horizontal blanking signal is not expanded, whereby the divided video signals have a still lower frequency band.

A skew error correction device for a video signal in a television receiver or the like is disclosed. An oscillator produces an oscillation output signal of a constant frequency which is phase-synchronized with horizontal synchronization information included in an input video signal, and the output signal is used as a write clock. In a vertical blanking period, the oscillation output signal or a frequency-divided signal thereof is phase-compared with an output of a reference signal generator of a predetermined frequency or a frequency-divided signal thereof, and a phase error signal is negatively fed back to voltage control means which voltage-controls the oscillation frequency of the oscillator. Thus, the oscillation frequency is stabilized without using an AFC circuit and a skew error in the input video signal is eliminated.

In a rotary magnetic head helical scan type video tape recorder using a segment recording system, a video signal of one vertical scanning period is divided into n video signal blocks, where n is an integer equal to or larger than 2, and a redundant period having a selected length is inserted into the video signal blocks in a recording mode. Each of the video signal blocks has a number of horizontal scanning lines equal or smaller than N/n, where N is the number of the horizontal scanning lines in a field of the video signal. In a reproducing mode, a time axis error of reproduced series of the video signal blocks is corrected at least during the redunant periods. Then, the corrected blocks are converted into the original video signal.

In order to correct a time base error of a video signal reproduced from a video signal recording/reproducing apparatus such as a VTR or the like, when the reproduced video signal is sequentially written into or read out from a memory, a signal which is obtained by frequency multiplying an output of an oscillator for generating a signal of a constant frequency whose phase is momentarily synchronized by a burst signal extracted from the reproduced video signal is used as a write clock. The signal based on the output of the oscillator and the signal based on the output of a reference signal generator for generating a read clock for the memory are phase compared for the vertical blanking period of the reproduced video signal, and a phase difference signal is generated. The oscillating frequency of the oscillator is controlled in a negative feedback manner using this phase difference signal, thereby assuring the stable oscillating frequency which does not cause any frequency deviation. To prevent that erroneous horizontal sync information is used when the burst signal is extracted, the write clock whose phase is synchronized with the reproduced video signal is counted until a predetermined count value and only the normal horizontal sync signal is separated, and also the dropout horizontal sync signal is corrected.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for sampling and processing a video signal having a time base fluctuation with sampling clock pulses produced from an oscillator which is instantaneously phase-synchronized with synchronizing information of the video signal. The synchronizing information is separated from the video signal by a separator and the oscillator is controlled to at least one of start and stop oscillation in accordance with the synchronizing information.

A video signal input-output circuit and a recording-reproduction apparatus in which a digitally compressed video signal input in packet form can be recorded and reproduced efficiently and in stable fashion. In this apparatus, a clock reference is detected from a packet signal containing the clock reference and a digitally compressed video signal, a time stamp for a packet is generated using a clock signal in phase with the clock reference and added to the particular packet, and the packet signals with the time stamp added thereto are recorded closely to each other in a data storage element such as a magnetic recording medium. At playback, the packet interval is output by being restored to the original length on the basis of the time stamp added to the packet in store.

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.
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.

摘要:
A method and apparatus is provided for receiving and/or reproducing a digital signal, capable of efficiently recording a compressed, packeted digital signal and inhibiting a copy thereof. An input packet signal is added with a time stamp indicating a relative time of an arrival of the packet, and the packet signals of digital information with the added time stamps are recorded at reduced intervals therebetween. In reproducing, a packet interval adjusting circuit restores the original packet intervals in accordance with the time stamps, and then a time stamp change circuit changes at least one bit of the time stamp and thereafter outputs the digital information.
