Abstract:
In a data reproduction technique, the throughput required for rapid reproduction or other special types of reproduction is improved, as is the data access speed at the time of rapid reproduction. In order to achieve these objectives, a system controller (19) is operable so that the address information of the MPEG data reproduced by a pickup (2) may be used to create the first reproduction control information at a sector detection circuit (4). The second reproduction control information corresponding to the starting point of pictures contained in the MPEG data destined to be reproduction signals by the first reproduction control signal and subjected to error correction in an error correction circuit (7) may be created in a stream detection circuit (9). Some MPEG data out of the entire MPEG data may be outputted for a rapid reproduction by referring to the second reproduction control information, and through these steps, the interval of reproducing I pictures in a rapid reproduction by using, for example, only I pictures is reduced and smooth reproduction is achieved.
Abstract:
A scanconverter system with a superimposing apparatus for converting an interlaced video signal to a non-interlaced video signal and forming desired image data by superimposing a computer generated image on another image reproduced from a laser disc or the like. The system comprises a write clock generator for generating a write clock of a predetermined frequency, a read clock generator for generating a read clock of a double frequency, a line memory unit (3) for storing a horizontal line of an interlaced digital video signal and outputting a first non-interlaced digital video signal, a frame memory unit (8) for storing a frame of the interlaced digital video signal and outputting a second non-interlaced digital video signal, a detector (10) for detecting whether the interlaced digital video signal represents a still picture or not, and a selector (9) for selecting one of the first and second non-interlaced digital video signals according to the output of the detector. Selection of the first or second non-interlaced digital video signal depends on whether the interlaced digital video signal represents a still picture or not.
Abstract:
Digital signal decoder which decodes coded data, for example, a coded digital video signal, that has error-correcting data such as C1/C2 convolutional Reed-Solomon type data added thereto. The decoder stores in a memory the coded data, detects correctable errors in the stored coded data, ascertains positions of the detected errors in the coded data, and supplies error correction patterns that correspond to those errors. A second memory stores the ascertained positions of the errors as well as the error correction patterns, and coded data that correspond to the positions of the errors are read from the first memory and decoded by using the error correction patterns stored in the second memory so as to produce corrected decoded data. A digital signal reproducing apparatus embodying the above decoder also is disclosed.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PRESENT INVENTION ARE TO REDUCE THE THROUGHPUT REQUIRED FOR A RAPID REPRODUCTION OR OTHER SPECIAL TYPES OF REPRODUCTION AND TO IMPROVED ALSO THE DATA ACCESS SPEED AT THE TIME OFA RAPID REPRODUCTION. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THESE OBJECTIVES, THE SYSTEM CONTROLLER (19) CONTROLS SO THAT THE ADDRESS INFORMATION OF THE MPEG DATA REPRODUCED BY A PICKUP (2) MAY BE USED TO CREATE THE FIRST REPRODUCTION CONTROL INFORMATION AT A SECTOR DETECTION CIRCUIT (4), THAT THE SECOND REPRODUCTION CONTROL INFORMATION CORRESPONDING TO THE STARTING POINT OF PICTURES CONTAINED IN THE MPEG DATA DESTINED TO BE REPRODUCTION SIGNALS BY THE FIRST REPRODUCTION CONTROL SIGNAL AND SUBJECTED TO AN ERROR CORRECTION IN AN ERROR CORRECTION CIRCUIT (7) MAY BE CREATED IN A STREAM DETECTION CIRCUIT (9), AND THAT SOME MPEG DATA OUT OF THE ENTIRE MPEG DATA MAY BE OUTPUTTED FOR A RAPID REPRODUCTION BY REFERRING TO THE SECOND REPRODUCTION CONTROL INFORMATION, AND THROUGH THESE STEPS, THE INTERVAL OF REPRODUCING 1 PICTURES IN A RAPID REPRODUCTION BY USING FOR EXAMPLE ONLY 1 PICTURES IS REDUCED AND A SMOOTH REPRODUCTION IS ACHIEVED.

DIGITAL SIGNAL DECODER (52) WHICH DECODES CODED DATA, FOR EXAMPLE, A CODED DIGITAL VIDEO SIGNAL, THAT HAS ERROR-CORRECTING DATA SUCH AS C1/C2 CONVOLUTIONAL REED-SOLOMON TYPE DATA ADDED THERETO. THE DECODER (52) STORES IN A MEMORY (51) THE CODED DATA, DETECTS CORRECTABLE ERRORS IN THE STORED CODED DATA, ASCERTAINS POSITIONS OF THE DETECTED ERRORS IN THE CODED DATA, AND SUPPLIES ERROR CORRECTION PATTERNS THAT CORRESPOND TO THOSE ERRORS. A SECOND MEMORY (53) STORES THE ASCERTAINED POSITIONS OF THE ERRORS AS WELL AS THE ERROR CORRECTION PATTERNS, AND CODED DATA THAT CORRESPOND TO THE POSITIONS OF THE ERRORS ARE READ FROM THE FIRST MEMORY (51) AND DECODED BY USING THE ERROR CORRECTION PATTERNS STORED IN THE SECOND MEMORY (53) SO AS TO PRODUCE CORRECTED DECODED DATA. A DIGITAL SIGNAL REPRODUCING APPARATUS EMBODYING THE ABOVE DECODER (52) ALSO IS DISCLOSED. (FIG.23)

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correctly prevent recording of unreproducible data when receiving two or more kinds of data streams and recording them on a recording medium. SOLUTION: A byte counter 41 always detects data length of input data group based on a synchronizing signal Sync_In. A stream discrimination section 71 discriminates types of data stream and existence of errors based on the detected data length. A frame counter 42 performs count up when the input data group is correct DV frame data based on the discrimination results of the stream discrimination section 71. When the input data group is error or a TS packet, the frame counter 42 does not perform count-up and a data transfer section 44 stops data transfer. A recording control section 72 transmits and records the number of pieces of frame data DV equivalent to the count Frame_Cnt of the frame counter 42 stored in a buffer control section 50 from the start time of recording in order to the recording medium.
