Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for reproducing voice signals from a PCM magnetic recording tape which is equipped with a discontinue waveform calibrator which comprises a control signal generator for detecting an edited part from PCM signal rows reproduced from the magnetic tape and for transmitting a control signal; a first memorizing means for memorizing at least one word part of the PCM signal rows which are sequentially imputted; a second memorizing means for memorizing specific words of the PCM signal rows overflowed from the first memorizing means; a third memorizing means for memorizing at least one word part of the PCM signal rows overflowed from the memorizing means; a first weighing means for multiplying a gradually increasing weight from X0 to X1 to the memorized data of the first memorizing means upon receiving the control signal to output it; a second weighing means for multiplying a gradually decreasing weight from X1 to X0 to the memorized data of the third memorizing means upon receiving the control signal; an adder for summing gradually output signals of the first and second weighing means; and a switch for switching to receive as an input the PCM signal overflowed from the third memorizing means in the normal state and switching the PCM signal output from the adder into the decoder upon receiving the control signal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
An apparatus for reproducing a PCM magnetic recording tape, comprising: a detecting means for detecting an edited part from PCM signal rows reproduced from said magnetic recording tape; a delay means for delaying said PCM signal rows in sequence during a specific time; a first weighing means for weighing to gradually increase the backward signal recorded behind said edited point under the control of a signal detected by the detecting means; a second weighing means under the control of said signal from said detecting means for weighing the output from said delay means to gradually decrease the forward signal recorded in front of said edited point; an adder for summing output signals from said first weighing means and said second weighing means; a switch under the control of said signal from said detecting means for switching to obtain a reproduced output from said adder during a specific term and to reproduce and to output the output of said delay means during the other term.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
164 words
An apparatus for reproducing a PCM magnetic recording tape, comprising: a detecting means for detecting an edited part from PCM signal rows reproduced from said magnetic recording tape; a delay means for delaying said PCM signal rows in sequence during a specific time; a first weighing means for weighing to gradually increase the backward signal recorded behind said edited point under the control of a signal detected by the detecting means; a second weighing means under the control of said signal from said detecting means for weighing the output from said delay means to gradually decrease the forward signal recorded in front of said edited point; an adder for summing output signals from said first weighing means and said second weighing means; a switch under the control of said signal from said detecting means for switching to obtain a reproduced output from said adder during a specific term and to reproduce and to output the output of said delay means during the other term.
