Retrieving device of cassette tape information for vtr

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To attain automatically the program searching of a tape at the picture recording/reproducing time on the basis of tape information by writing and storing the tape information including a program name and start and stop positions stored in an internal storage means at the recording time in a tape winding starting part in which a storage area is fixed at the unloading of a cassette, and at the loading of the cassette, reading out and storing the tape information. CONSTITUTION:A microcomputer 18 executes the writing/reading of tape information in/from a tape winding starting part and the searching control of picture recording. The information stored in the winding starting part at the loading of the cassette is written in the internal memory 19 and a program number and start and end counter values obtained during picture recording are also written in the internal memory 19. A writing control part 23 outputs the recorded tape information stored in the internal memory 19 at the unloading of the cassette and a video head 2 writes the tape information in the winding starting part of the tape 1. On the other hand, a reading control part 24 stores the tape information read out from the winding starting part by the video head 2 in the internal memory 19 through the microcomputer 18.
