Abstract
Abstract The specification discloses a recording and reproducing apparatus for dividing a video signal of one field into a plurality of segments and recording the video signal onto a plurality of tracks on a recording mediuim. By the recording and reproducing apparatus, an additional period is inserted between the adjoining segments. Further, the signal included in one of the adjoining segments is used as a signal of the additional period.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A recording apparatus for processing a video signal of one television field for recording on a magnetic recording medium comprising: means for separating the video signal of one television field into a plurality of segments, each segment including a plurality of video lines; means for detecting a joint portion between adjoining segments; means for inserting an additional time period between adjoining segments of the video signal; a first means for inserting further signals into the additional time period, wherein said further signals include signals corresponding to signals of at least one video line included in at least one of the segments adjoining the detected joint portion wherein said signals of at least one video line are the signals of a first video line of the segment located immediately after the detected portion; and a second means for inserting, into the additional time period, the signal of a last video line of the segment located immediately before the detected joint portion between the inserted signal of the first video line of the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion and the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
189 words
A recording apparatus for processing a video signal of one television field for recording on a magnetic recording medium comprising: means for separating the video signal of one television field into a plurality of segments, each segment including a plurality of video lines; means for detecting a joint portion between adjoining segments; means for inserting an additional time period between adjoining segments of the video signal; a first means for inserting further signals into the additional time period, wherein said further signals include signals corresponding to signals of at least one video line included in at least one of the segments adjoining the detected joint portion wherein said signals of at least one video line are the signals of a first video line of the segment located immediately after the detected portion; and a second means for inserting, into the additional time period, the signal of a last video line of the segment located immediately before the detected joint portion between the inserted signal of the first video line of the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion and the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
174 words
A method for processing a video signal of one television signal for recording on a magnetic recording medium comprising the steps of: separating the video signal of one television field into a plurality of segments, each segment including a plurality of video lines; detecting a joint portion between adjoining segments; inserting an additional time period between adjoining segments; inserting further signals into the additional time period, wherein said further signals include signals corresponding to signals of at least one video line included in at least one of the segments adjoining the detected joint portion wherein said signals of at lest one video line are the signals of a first video line of the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion; and inserting, into the additional time period, the signal of a last video line of the segment located immediately before the detected joint portion between the inserted signal of the first video line of the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion and the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
174 words
A method for processing a video signal of one television signal for recording on a magnetic recording medium comprising the steps of: separating the video signal of one television field into a plurality of segments, each segment including a plurality of video lines; detecting a joint portion between adjoining segments; inserting an additional time period between adjoining segments; inserting further signals into the additional time period, wherein said further signals include signals corresponding to signals of at least one video line included in at least one of the segments adjoining the detected joint portion wherein said signals of at lest one video line are the signals of a first video line of the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion; and inserting, into the additional time period, the signal of a last video line of the segment located immediately before the detected joint portion between the inserted signal of the first video line of the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion and the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
196 words
A reproducing apparatus for processing a video signal of one television field previously recorded on a magnetic recording medium, said video signal of one television field being separated into a plurality of segments, each segment including a plurality of video lines, with a joint portion and an additional time period having been inserted in the joint portion between adjoining segments comprising: means defining signals inserted into the additional time period wherein said signals include signals of a video line of the segment located immediately before the detected joint portion and signals of a video line of the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion; a plurality of means for respectively recovering each segment of the video signal of one television field from the magnetic recording medium, each of the means for recovering including means for reproducing the signal in each respective segment and additional time period joined thereto; means for detecting the joint portion; and means for switching from one of the means for recovering to another means for recovering upon detection of the joint portion, so that said another means for recovering recovers the same signal as said one of the means for recovering.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
196 words
A reproducing apparatus for processing a video signal of one television field previously recorded on a magnetic recording medium, said video signal of one television field being separated into a plurality of segments, each segment including a plurality of video lines, with a joint portion and an additional time period having been inserted in the joint portion between adjoining segments comprising: means defining signals inserted into the additional time period wherein said signals include signals of a video line of the segment located immediately before the detected joint portion and signals of a video line of the segment located immediately after the detected joint portion; a plurality of means for respectively recovering each segment of the video signal of one television field from the magnetic recording medium, each of the means for recovering including means for reproducing the signal in each respective segment and additional time period joined thereto; means for detecting the joint portion; and means for switching from one of the means for recovering to another means for recovering upon detection of the joint portion, so that said another means for recovering recovers the same signal as said one of the means for recovering.
