Abstract

Abstract In a video tape recorder in which an operation and a condition thereof are set by operating operation keys provided in an operation means (17), data obtained by a sequential operation of predetermined keys of the operation means subsequent to an input operation of specific data by an operation of a function conversion key (18l) of the operation means are converted into character data and character signals representative of a series of characters from the sequential character data are formed, which are supplied to a display device and to a recording system of a magnetic video tape by a recording instruction operation of the operation means, whereby the character signal is recordable in an arbitrary position of the magnetic video tape.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 138 words
A video tape recorder system in which an operation and a condition thereof are set by operating operation keys proided in an operation means (17), comprising first means (8) for converting data obtained by a sequential operation of predetermined buttons of said operation means into character data in response to an input operation of specific data by an operation of a function conversion key (18l) of said operation means, second means for forming character signals representative of a series of characters from the sequential character data formed by said first means and third means for supplying said character signals to a display device and for supplying them to a recording system of a magnetic tape by a recording instruction operation of said operation means, whereby said character signal is recordable in an arbitrary position of said magnetic tape.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 138 words
A video tape recorder system in which an operation and a condition thereof are set by operating operation keys proided in an operation means (17), comprising first means (8) for converting data obtained by a sequential operation of predetermined buttons of said operation means into character data in response to an input operation of specific data by an operation of a function conversion key (18l) of said operation means, second means for forming character signals representative of a series of characters from the sequential character data formed by said first means and third means for supplying said character signals to a display device and for supplying them to a recording system of a magnetic tape by a recording instruction operation of said operation means, whereby said character signal is recordable in an arbitrary position of said magnetic tape.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 43 words
The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second means provides a mixture signal of a background signal representative of predetermined color and said character signal and wherein a background color on a display screen due to said background signal is variable.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 28 words
The system as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein a size of a display character according to said character signal formed by said second means is variable.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 30 words
The system as claimed in any of claims 1 to 3, further comprising memory means for storing readably at an arbitrary time said character data formed by said first means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 78 words
The sytem as claimed in any of claims 1 to 4, further comprising a remote control uni having operation keys each having a usual function as well as character input function of one or a plurality of characters and a character image control operation function and means responsive to the data from said operation keys for judging whether said operation key has the usual operation function or the functions of character input and character image control operation function.
