摘要:
At least three heads are mounted on a rotary drum. Between the first and third heads which are located in close proximity to each other and have different azimuth angles, a minute height difference is formed in the rotation shaft direction of the rotary drum. Signals of a plurality of data rates are recorded and reproduced by using the first and second heads or the first and third heads. Two heads having the same azimuth angle are disposed on the rotary drum so as to be opposed each other at a central angle of 180°. In search speed reproduction, search data are reproduced by the two heads. Tracks are divided in the unit of plural tracks so as to form track sets. Search data areas of each track set are disposed at a position of each track which is separated from the edge of a tape by a predetermined distance. In search speed reproduction, the phases of the tracks and the heads are controlled, and all effective data of the search data areas are reproduced by plural scans of the heads.
摘要:
A camcorder (100), which is an example of image capturing devices, includes the following units. An imaging unit (110) captures moving pictures. An attribute information generation unit (120) generates attribute information indicating features of the moving pictures captured by the imaging unit (110). An evaluation unit (130) applies the attribute information generated by the attribute information generation unit (120) to a predetermined criterion, so as to calculate an evaluation value of the moving pictures for each predetermined time width. A still picture extraction unit (140) extracts a still picture from moving pictures in a predetermined time width, when the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit (130) for the predetermined time width exceeds an evaluation threshold value. A threshold value change unit (150) changes the evaluation threshold value based on at least one of person information and a composition change amount which are included in the attribute information. The person information is used for specifying a person captured in the moving pictures, and the composition change amount is an amount of change in image compositions between the moving pictures.
