    摘要: A multiple-CPU system including a main CPU and at least one subordinate CPU connected thereto. Both the main and subordinate CPU are provided with a respective voltage detector circuit for detecting when a main or primary power supply voltage for the CPU's has dropped below a predetermined threshold level. When the respective detector circuit outputs a signal indicating detection of the drop in main power supply voltage, the respective CPU is placed in a standby state. However, the threshold level of the detector circuit of the main CPU is set to a voltage lower than the threshold level of the detector circuit of the subordinate CPU. As a result, the subordinate CPU is placed in a standby state before the main CPU. The main CPU is equipped with an auxiliary power supply so that when the subordinate CPU is placed in a standby state, automatic recovery is thereafter carried out by the main CPU.

    摘要: A magnetic head advancing apparatus which advances a magnetic head to be brought into contact with a magnetic recording medium (head loading) in response to a latch-type solenoid when a power supply switch is closed. The magnetic head is separated from the magnetic recording medium (head unloading) in response to a latch-type solenoid when the power supply switch is opened, when the power supply voltage drops below a predetermined level, or when the power supply (a battery) is ejected from the apparatus. This makes it possible to prevent local permanent deformation of a magnetic disk caused by prolonged abutting contact between the magnetic head and the magnetic disk.

    摘要: The gain of an envelope detector circuit for detecting the envelope of a signal read from a magnetic head is capable of being changed over between two, namely high and low, stages. The gain of the envelope detector circuit is raised when track search processing is performed. When peak position detection processing is executed for detecting the peak position of the envelope of a recorded signal with regard to a designated track, first the gain of the envelope detector circuit is raised. The gain is lowered when the envelope saturates. This makes it comparatively easy to perform envelope detection, shortens the time required and makes it possible to use even a relatively low-precision A/D converter in the envelope detector circuit.

    摘要: A recording/playback apparatus is provided with a plurality of controllers (inclusive of CPU's) which, by communicating with one another, share control of each of the components of the recording/playback apparatus or of the entire apparatus. Communication among the controllers is performed in the second half of one period of a signal related to the rotational reference phase of a rotating recording medium. This makes it possible for control requiring high precision to be performed in the first half of the aforementional period without being affected by high-priority interrupts which accompany communication control. Further, in order that the aforementioned communication may be carried out in the second half of the above mentioned period, message editing is performed in the first half of the same period. This enables prompt communication processing during the short time in the second half of the period without an unnecessary waste of time.

    摘要: In a system including a still video camera and a playback device capable of being connected thereto, the playback device stored track information (such as data representing the field/frame recording and the envelope peak position) detected in a playback operation in a memory thereof corresponding to a track number. When the power of the playback device or the like is turned off, the track information is transferred from the playback device to the camera side and is stored in a memory of the camera side. When the playback device achieves thereafter a playback operation, the track information is again transferred to the playback device so as to be used for the playback operation. The track information can also be used in an erase operation on the camera side or in the playback device. In addition, track information used in a recording operation of the camera is stored in a memory thereof corresponding to a track member. When the playback device is connected to the camera and a mode thereof is changed over to a playback mode, the track information is transferred from the camera to the playback device, thereby storing the track information in a memory of the playback device. The track information is used when the playback device conducts a playback operation.

    摘要: Positioning of a magnetic head for recording a signal on a magnetic recording medium is performed in accordance with an absolute track address system. However, due to mechanical errors, expansion or contraction of the magnetic recording medium caused by changes in temperature or humidity, or small variations between recording apparatuses, a deviation can occur between a position recorded on in the past and a absolute track position thereof. Accordingly, with regard to at least one track that has already been recorded on, the amount of deviation between the peak position of the envelope of a signal on this track and an absolute track position is measured. Then, based upon the measured amount of deviation, the position at which the magnetic head is stopped on the track to be recorded on next is corrected.

    摘要: A search range for detecting the peak position of an envelope on a rotating magnetic recording medium is limited to a predetermined range on either side of an absolute track position of each track on the recording medium. A limitation is also placed upon the number of times a magnetic head is fed within this predetermined range. If a peak cannot be decided even when the magnetic head is fed the limited number of times, the final position of the magnetic head is adopted compulsorily as the peak position. As a result it is possible to reduce the time needed for peak position detection processing. When an envelope cannot be detected with the predetermined range, the absolute track position is adopted as the peak position.

    摘要: A camera having an ordinary automatic exposure function which automatically decides a proper shutter speed and f-stop based on the results of photometry is additionally provided with a slow-photography mode. When the camera is set to the slow-photography mode, a predetermined shutter speed and f-stop outside a range of shutter speeds and f-stops capable of being set by ordinary automatic exposure control is set. This makes it possible to photograph night scenes, fireworks displays and the like. Photography is possible even in a light-value region in which the camera shutter would be locked against release in ordinary automatic exposure control owing to too little light.

    摘要: A white balance adjusting device for use in a camera which photographs a field and forms a video signal representing the field. In the white balance adjusting device, while a sequential photographing is under way, updating of the color temperature data to be used for adjusting a white balance is prohibited. Therefore, the hues of main objects in the respective frames of still images photographed by the sequential photographic operation remain unchanged, thereby maintaining the homogeneity of the main objects. Also, in the white balance adjusting device, control a device is used to provide a short response time for a quick response property in a still mode and to provide a longer response time in a movie mode when compared with the still mode. As a result, the white balance can be adjusted according to the photographic modes of the camera.
