Abstract

Abstract A video data recording apparatus for a digital VCR comprising a frame controller for detecting a vertical synchronous signal from input video data and outputting a frame detect signal and a first switching signal in response to the detected vertical synchronous signal, a switching counter for generating a second switching signal in response to the frame detect signal from the frame controller to control a switching operation of a track distributed switch, a buffer for dividing the input video data distributed by the track distribution switch in the unit of segment and storing the video data of the divided segments, a segment shifting counter for generating a third switching signal in response to the first switching signal from the frame controller, a shifting switching circuit for selectively transferring the video data from the buffer in response to the third switching signal from the segment shifting counter, a signal select switching circuit for selectively transferring the video data from the shifting switching circuit in response to the first switching signal from the frame controller, and a recording circuit for adding a synchronous signal and an identification signal to output video data from the signal select switching circuit and recording the resultant video data on the video tape.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 208 words
A video data recording apparatus for a digital VCR comprising: frame control means for detecting a vertical synchronous signal from input video data and outputting a frame detect signal and a first switching signal in response to the detected vertical synchronous signal; switching counting means for generating a second switching signal in response to the frame detect signal from said frame control means to control a switching operation of a track distribution switch; buffering means for dividing the input video data distributed by said tack distribution switch in the unit of segment and storing the video data of the divided segments; segment shifting counting means for generating a third switching signal in response to the first switching signal from said frame control means; shifting switching means for selectively transferring the video data from said buffering means in response to the third switching signal from said segment shifting counting means; signal select switching means for selectively transferring the video data from said shifting switching means in response to the first switching signal from said frame control means; and recording means for adding a synchronous signal and an identification signal to output video data from said signal select switching means and recording the resultant video data on the video tape.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 208 words
A video data recording apparatus for a digital VCR comprising: frame control means for detecting a vertical synchronous signal from input video data and outputting a frame detect signal and a first switching signal in response to the detected vertical synchronous signal; switching counting means for generating a second switching signal in response to the frame detect signal from said frame control means to control a switching operation of a track distribution switch; buffering means for dividing the input video data distributed by said tack distribution switch in the unit of segment and storing the video data of the divided segments; segment shifting counting means for generating a third switching signal in response to the first switching signal from said frame control means; shifting switching means for selectively transferring the video data from said buffering means in response to the third switching signal from said segment shifting counting means; signal select switching means for selectively transferring the video data from said shifting switching means in response to the first switching signal from said frame control means; and recording means for adding a synchronous signal and an identification signal to output video data from said signal select switching means and recording the resultant video data on the video tape.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 52 words
A video data recording apparatus for a digital VCR as set forth in claim 1, wherein said buffering means includes: a plurality of track memories for dividing the input video data distributed by said track distribution switch in the unit of segment and storing the video data of the divided segments, respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 61 words
A video data recording apparatus for a digital VCR as set forth in claim 1, wherein said shifting switching means includes: a plurality of switches responsive to the third switching signal from said segment shifting means for selectively transferring the video data from said buffering means to said signal select switching means or feeding back them to said buffering means, respectively.
