Abstract
Abstract An audio signal of arbitrary length is recorded on a single track of a magnetic disk, and a plurality of corresponding or associated video signals are recorded on successive coaxial tracks. The deviation of each video signal is counted during the reception of the audio signal, and data representative thereof is superposed on the recorded video signals to "coordinate" subsequent playback.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A recording device having an audio/video mode in which a plurality of video signals corresponding to an audio signal are recorded on coaxial tracks on a recording disk, comprising: a switching means which is operated during receiving the corresponding audio signal to initiate recording of each of the video signals on the disk; a measuring means for measuring a video signal interval ending with each operation of said switching means; a recording means for recording the video signals and the corresponding audio signal selectively to the coaxial tracks of the recording disk; and a control means for controlling said recording means so as to record the video signal when said switching means is operated, together with a next video track data representing presence or absence of a following video track wherein a next video signal corresponding to the audio signal is to be recorded and the measurement data of said measuring means, said control means controlling said recording means so as to record the audio signal together with a start video track data as to a start video track where a first of said plurality of video signals is to be recorded.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
192 words
A recording device having an audio/video mode in which a plurality of video signals corresponding to an audio signal are recorded on coaxial tracks on a recording disk, comprising: a switching means which is operated during receiving the corresponding audio signal to initiate recording of each of the video signals on the disk; a measuring means for measuring a video signal interval ending with each operation of said switching means; a recording means for recording the video signals and the corresponding audio signal selectively to the coaxial tracks of the recording disk; and a control means for controlling said recording means so as to record the video signal when said switching means is operated, together with a next video track data representing presence or absence of a following video track wherein a next video signal corresponding to the audio signal is to be recorded and the measurement data of said measuring means, said control means controlling said recording means so as to record the audio signal together with a start video track data as to a start video track where a first of said plurality of video signals is to be recorded.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
The device as defined in claim 1 wherein said recording means comprises an audio memory for storing the audio signal and the start video track data, and a signal processing means for processing the video signal, the measurement data of said measuring means and the next video track data according to a predetermined still video recording format.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The device as defined in claim 1 wherein the next video track data is data representing the track number of a next track following a current track, in which the next video signal is to be recorded.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The device as defined in claim 2 wherein the next video track data and the measurement data of said measuring means are recorded to a region corresponding to an ID code in a video track according to the predetermined still video recording format.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The device as defined in claim 1 wherein said control means operates to control said recording means to record a final video signal without the next video track data when the recording of the corresponding audio signal is completed.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
262 words
A recording and reproducing device having an audio/video mode in which a plurality of video signals corresponding to an audio signal are recorded on coaxial tracks of a recording disk, and the recorded audio and video signals are reproduced in combination, comprising: a switching means which is operated during receiving the corresponding audio signal to initiate recording of each of the video signals on the disk; a measuring means for measuring a video signal interval with each operation of said switching means; a recording and reproducing means for recording the video signals and the corresponding audio signal selectively to the coaxial tracks of the recording disk and for reproducing the recorded video and audio signals in combination; and a control means for controlling said recording and reproducing means so as to record the video signal when said switching means is operated, together with a next video track data representing presence or absence of a further video track where further video track where a further video signal corresponding to the audio signal is to be recorded and the measurement data of said measuring means, and said control means controlling said recording and reproducing means so as to record the audio signal together with a start video track data as to a start video track where a first of said plurality of video signals is to be recorded, the video signals being successively reproduced from the video signal recorded on a track designated by the start video track data according to the next video track data and the measurement data of said measuring means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
262 words
A recording and reproducing device having an audio/video mode in which a plurality of video signals corresponding to an audio signal are recorded on coaxial tracks of a recording disk, and the recorded audio and video signals are reproduced in combination, comprising: a switching means which is operated during receiving the corresponding audio signal to initiate recording of each of the video signals on the disk; a measuring means for measuring a video signal interval with each operation of said switching means; a recording and reproducing means for recording the video signals and the corresponding audio signal selectively to the coaxial tracks of the recording disk and for reproducing the recorded video and audio signals in combination; and a control means for controlling said recording and reproducing means so as to record the video signal when said switching means is operated, together with a next video track data representing presence or absence of a further video track where further video track where a further video signal corresponding to the audio signal is to be recorded and the measurement data of said measuring means, and said control means controlling said recording and reproducing means so as to record the audio signal together with a start video track data as to a start video track where a first of said plurality of video signals is to be recorded, the video signals being successively reproduced from the video signal recorded on a track designated by the start video track data according to the next video track data and the measurement data of said measuring means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
59 words
The device as defined in claim 6 wherein said recording and reproducing means comprises an audio memory for storing the audio signal and the start video track data, and a signal processing means for processing the video signal, the measurement data of said measuring means and the next video track data according to a predetermined still video recording format.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
37 words
The device as defined in claim 6 wherein the next video track data is data representing the track number of a next track following a current track, in which the next video signal is to be recorded.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
42 words
The device as defined in claim 6 wherein the next video track data and the measurement data of said measuring means are recorded a region corresponding to an ID code in the video track according to the predetermined still video recording format.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
41 words
The device as defined in claim 6 wherein said control means operates to control said recording and reproducing means to record a final video signal without the next video track data when the recording of the corresponding audio signal is completed.
