C. Prior Art Cutting at the time of making a master disc of a compact disk (CD), which is now widely used, is usually performed by a digital signal recording / reproducing system including a digital signal processing device (so-called PCM processor) and a VTR (video tape recorder). This is performed by supplying the reproduced digital data to an optical cutting device. In the digital signal recording / reproducing system, at the time of recording, input data is added with an error detection / correction code, interleaved, and recorded on a magnetic tape in the form of a pseudo video signal. Further, at the time of reproduction, data is extracted from the pseudo video signal reproduced from the magnetic tape, subjected to processing such as de-interleaving and error correction / correction, and then output as output data.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the digital signal recording / reproducing system as described above, data recorded on a compact disc, that is, data to be handled is audio data for audio, and non-audio data, for example, so-called CD- The required performance differs from the case of ROM computer data. That is, for audio, since correction (average value interpolation, previous value hold, etc.) when error correction is impossible is effective, moderate error correction capability and strong correction capability are required. Also, in consideration of simultaneous monitoring at the time of recording, it is better that the time difference of data at the input / output terminals is small. On the other hand, for non-audio use, since correction in the case where error correction is impossible is meaningless, strong error correction capability is required. Further, there may be some time difference in data at the input / output terminals. It is difficult to satisfy both of these requirements at the same time,

G. Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. G-1. Digital Signal Recording / Reproducing System First, the overall configuration of the digital signal recording / reproducing system will be described with reference to FIG. This system comprises a digital signal processor 10 and a VTR 20, and includes digital data and time code (for example,
Recording of SMPTE time code or EBU time code)
It is for regenerating. The recording of the digital data and the time code is performed in frame units. The digital signal processing device 10 includes first and second input terminals 1
1 and 12, an encoder 13, a decoder 14, and first and second output terminals 15 and 16. In addition, V
The TR 20 corresponds to, for example, the 525/30 NTSC television system, and has a video signal input terminal 21, a video signal output terminal 22, a time code input terminal 23, and a time code output terminal 24. Digital data D _I supplied to the input terminal 11 are interleaved with the error correction coding in the encoder 13 (in this embodiment, as will be described later, 5880 words (1 frame)) multiple words per A pseudo video signal V _{PO which} is blocked and becomes a transmission signal is formed.
This pseudo video signal V _PO is output from the output terminal 15
The video signal is supplied to a video signal input terminal 21 and recorded as a video signal on a magnetic tape (not shown). Pseudo-video signal V _PI reproduced by the VTR20 is output from the video signal output terminal 22, is supplied to the input terminal 12. This pseudo video signal _VPI is supplied to the decoder 14,
After the data portion has been removed, the processing of error correction decoding and the like together with the data is de-interleaved is performed, the digital data D ₀ is to be outputted restored from the output terminal 16. Here, a plurality of types (two types in the present embodiment) of the interleave length of the interleave at the time of recording can be selectively switched. Also, the encoder 13

Is set to be an integral multiple of the block length (1 frame) of the above-mentioned blocking. The switching of the interleave length and the setting of the data delay amount will be described later in detail. Also, the time code T _CI supplied to the terminal 31 is supplied directly to the time code input terminal 23 of the VTR20, and recorded on a magnetic tape (not shown). Time code T _CO reproduced by the VTR20 is output from the time code output terminal 24, which are outputted from the terminal 32. Although not shown in FIG. 2, the digital signal processing device 10 is provided with a delay circuit for delaying a time code by a predetermined frame during dubbing. This will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. G-2. Signal Format Next, the signal format will be described. The sampling frequency corresponds to two types, 44.1 kHz and 44.056 kHz, and the data transfer rate differs from the horizontal synchronization frequency and the vertical synchronization frequency of the pseudo video signal. That is, when the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz, the horizontal synchronization frequency is 15.75 kHz and the vertical synchronization frequency is 60
Hz, transfer rate 3.5831 Mbit / sec, and 4
In the case of 4.056 kHz, the horizontal synchronization frequency is 15.734 kHz, the vertical synchronization frequency is 59.94 Hz, and the transfer rate is 3.5795 Mbit / sec. One data block is composed of 12 words, as shown in FIG. 3 (A) or FIG. 3 (B). In the figure,
R is the right channel sample word and L is the left channel sample word. P is a parity check word for error correction, and C is an error detection word by CRCC. The subscript indicates a word number, where n = 0, 1, 2,.... Each word consists of 16 bits. In the odd-numbered block shown in FIG. 3A, the parity check word P _6n is generated from the sample words R _6n and L _6n . The parity check word P _{6n + 1} is generated from the sample words L _{6n + 1} and R _{6n + 1} , and the parity check word P _{6n + 2} is generated from the sample words R _{6n + 2} and L _{6n + 2} . Further, the error detection word C in the first row
_6n is generated from the sample words R _6n , L _{6n + 1} , and R _{6n + 2} .
The error detection word C _{6n + 2} in the second row is based on the parity check words P _6n , P _{6n + 1} , P _{6n + 2} , and the error detection word C _{6n + 1 in} the third row is a sample word L _6n , R _{6n +1} and L _{6n + 2} respectively. Similarly, the parity check words P _{6n + 3} , P _{6n + 4} , P _{6n + 5} are generated and the error detection words C _{6n + 3} , C _{6n + 5} , The generation of C _{6n + 4} is performed. Here, the digital signal processing device in this embodiment has two types of formats having different interleave block lengths, that is, different interleave lengths, and can be selectively switched. Of the two types, the format used conventionally (hereinafter referred to as the conventional format) has an interleave length of 35H (H is a horizontal period), and the newly proposed format (hereinafter referred to as the conventional format) is interleaved. The length is 1 frame (490H). That is, in the case of the conventional format, as shown in FIG. 4A, one interleaved block is composed of 35 data blocks in which the odd blocks and the even blocks are alternately arranged. In the interleaving, as shown in FIG. 4 (B), first, the words in the first row are sequentially arranged from the first block to the 35th block.
This is done by sequentially arranging the words of the row, and finally the words of the third row. A pseudo video signal is formed with each interleaved word as 12 words for 1H. Therefore, one entire interleave block (12 × 35 = 420 words) corresponds to 35H. In the case of the new format, one interleave block is composed of 490 data blocks as shown in FIG. 5A, and interleave is performed from the first block as shown in FIG. 5B. Each word up to the 490th block is sequentially arranged in the same manner as in the conventional format. One entire interleave block (12 × 490 = 5880 words) corresponds to one frame (490H) of the pseudo video signal. The above-mentioned new format has a very high ability to correct burst errors because the interleaved block is as long as one frame. For example, correction is possible even if data of about 2/3 fields (about 163H) is missing. In the conventional format, the interleave length is 35
Because of the short length H, the time difference between the data at the input and output terminals during simultaneous monitoring during recording is small, but it is slightly longer in the new format. Therefore, for example, by using the conventional format for recording / reproducing audio data for audio and using the new format for recording / reproducing data of a non-audio computer or the like, the requirements for both audio and non-audio are satisfied. Can be satisfied at the same time. Note that de-interleaving is performed by a process reverse to interleaving. FIG. 6 shows the 1H period of the pseudo video signal. The numerical value in FIG. 6 represents the bit length, and the 1H period is 63.4
It is 92 μsec (when the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz). When the sampling frequency is 44.056 kHz, the 1H period is 63.556 μsec. Each data has been subjected to NRZ modulation, with “0” corresponding to the black level and “1” corresponding to the white level. One control bit is inserted between the first eight words (128 bits) and the remaining four words (64 bits) of the 12-word data in the 1H period. Each field (odd field and even field) of the pseudo video signal is shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B.
As shown in FIG. 7, each of the signals starts from an equalization pulse portion preceding the vertical synchronization signal. The data area in the odd field is, as shown in FIG.
Starting from the 17th horizontal line, the even field starts from the 17.5th horizontal line as shown in FIG. 7 (B). The data area occupies a period of 245H in each field.
That is, the data area is 490H in one frame.
Period. Incidentally, the control bits present bit by bit during 1H, as shown in FIG. 8, 35H i.e. b ₀ ~b
The 35 bits of ₃₄ constitute one block, and the first b ₀
For four-bit ~b ₃ Te ratio as follows have been made. b ₀ … Emphasis ON: Data “0” OFF: Data “1” b ₁ … Sampling frequency 44.1kHz: Data “0” 44.056kHz: Data “1” b ₂ … Format New format: Data “0” Conventional format: Data "1" b ₃ ... audio / non audio non audio: data "0" audio: data "1" Note that not been made Te ratio for the 31-bit remainder of b ₄ ~b _34, all "1 "It is said. G-3. Encoder Next, an example of a specific block circuit configuration of the encoder 13 will be described with reference to FIG. Left channel digital data (sample word) D _IL and right channel digital data (sample word) D _IR are supplied to the pair of input terminals 41 and 42, respectively, and this is, for example, a memory 43 having a capacity of 4 interleave blocks. Written in. The memory 43 includes a write address generator 44 and a read address generator 45.
, And a timing signal from the timing generator 46, respectively, to perform address control and timing control during writing and reading. The write address generator 44 and the read address generator 45 are connected to a terminal 47
The format switching signal F _SW is more supply, switching control of the address information to be output is made. Note that a timing signal is also supplied from the timing generator 46 to the write address generator 44 and the read address generator 45, respectively. Then, data is sequentially read from the memory 43 and error-correction-coded, and interleaving is performed.
That is, in the example shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, for the first row, first, a sample word R ₀ is read out and selected by the MPX (multiplexer) 48. Next, the sample word L ₁ is read, which is the
Selected by MPX48. Next, the sample word R ₂ is read, which is selected by the MPX48. These three sample words R ₀ , L ₁ , R ₂ are the CRCC generator 49
Is sequentially supplied to, error detection word C ₀ is generated, which is selected at the next timing by the MPX48. First
The processing for a row is completed by repeating the above-described operation. For the second row, first, the sample word R ₀ and the sample word L ₀ are read simultaneously, and are supplied to the parity generator 50 to generate the parity check word P ₀ . Then, the parity check word P ₀ is selected by the MPX48. Next, the sample word L
_1, R ₁ is read at the same time, a parity check word P ₁ are generated in the same manner, it is selected by the MPX48. Next, the sample words R ₂ and L ₂ are read simultaneously, and a parity check word P ₂ is similarly generated and selected by the MPX 48. These three parity check words P ₀ , P ₁ , P ₂ are sequentially supplied to the CRCC generator 49 to generate an error detection word C ₂ , which is selected by the MPX 48 at the next timing. The processing for the second row is completed by repeating the above-described operation. The processing for the third row is the same as that for the first row, and a description thereof will be omitted. The MPX 48 is supplied with a timing signal from the timing generator 46. The output from the MPX 48 is supplied to a pseudo video signal forming circuit 53 through a control bit insertion circuit 52 for inserting a control bit supplied from a control bit generator 51, and is output from an output terminal 54 as a pseudo video signal _VPO. It is output. A timing signal is supplied from the timing generator 46 to the control bit generator 51, control bit insertion circuit 52, and pseudo video signal forming circuit 53. Further, the control bit generator 51, by the format switching signal F _SW supplied from the terminal 57, switching control of the control bit to be output is made. The encoder 13 having such a configuration, the operation of the format switching signal F _SW write address generator 44 by the read address generator 45 and the control bit generator 51, is adapted to be switched controlled, the interleave length 2 different
Various formats (conventional format and new format) are supported. G-4. Decoder Next, an example of a specific block circuit configuration of the decoder 14 will be described with reference to FIG. Input terminal
61 pseudo-video signal V _PI reproduced from VTR20 is supplied, this data separator 62 and sink separators
63 respectively. In the data separator 62, a data portion (including control bits) is extracted from the supplied pseudo video signal _VPI , and is supplied to the CRCC checker 64 and the control bit extraction circuit 65, respectively. Further, in the sync separator 63, a synchronization signal portion is extracted from the supplied pseudo video signal _VPI , and this is supplied to the timing generator 66.
A timing signal is supplied from the timing generator 66 to the data separator 62, CRCC checker 64, and control bit extraction circuit 65, and each operation timing is controlled. The CRCC checker 64 performs error detection in units of four words, and data of three words per unit and an error detection flag corresponding thereto are sequentially written to a memory 67 having a capacity of, for example, one interleave block. 4th
In the example shown in FIG. Or FIG. 5, first, the three sample words R _0, and L _1, R _2, is written the error detection flag F _CO transgression incorporated thereto. Next, three sample words L ₃ ,
R ₄ and L ₅ and the error detection flag F _{C3 corresponding} thereto are written. In this way, the data is sequentially written to the memory 67. The control bit extraction circuit 65 extracts the control bits inserted between the data, and switches the control bits.
Supplied to 68. A switching control signal according to the format is output from the switching control circuit 68 and supplied to a write address generator 69, a read address generator 70 and delay circuits 77 and 79 described later. The write address generator 69 and the read address generator 70 control the switching of the output address information by the switching control signal. Thus, correspondence to two types of formats having different interleave lengths is achieved. The memory 67 includes the write address generator 69 and the read address generator.
The address information from 70 and the timing signal from the timing generator 66 are respectively supplied, and address control and timing control at the time of writing and reading are performed. Note that a timing signal is also supplied from the timing generator 66 to the write address generator 69 and the read address generator 70, respectively. Then, the data is sequentially read from the memory 67 and
Interleaving and error correction decoding are performed. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, first, the sample word in the first column of the first block is used.
L ₀ , R ₀ , the parity check word P _0, and the 3-bit error detection flag F ₃ for these are read at the same time. The correction circuit 71 generates a correction value R ₀ ′ from the sample word L ₀ and the parity check word P ₀ , and the correction circuit 72 generates a correction value L ₀ ′ from the sample word R ₀ and the parity check word P ₀ . The parity checker 73 calculates a syndrome from the sample words L ₀ and R ₀ and the parity check word P ₀ . The MPX74, an error detection flag F ₃ of the 3 bits, the parity checker
The output from 73 and the timing signal from the timing generator 66 are supplied, and the switching operation is performed based on these. That is, if no error occurs, the sample words L ₀ and R ₀ from the memory 67 are
When each is selected by 74 and an error occurs, the correction value L ₀ ′ from the correction circuit 73 or the correction circuit
The correction value R ₀ 'from 71 is selected by MPX74. Hereinafter, similarly, the data of the second column of the first block,
The processing is performed in the order of the data in the column, the data in the first column of the second block, and so on. The left channel output and the right channel output from the MPX74 are supplied to the interpolation circuits 75 and 76, respectively.
The interpolation circuits 75 and 76 perform average value interpolation or previous value hold when data has an error and cannot be corrected. Here, in the case of the new format having an interleave length of one frame, the above-described interpolation circuits 75 and 76 operate because the correction capability for burst errors is high.
It is considered that the conventional format with an interleave length of 35H is mostly used. The output from the interpolation circuit 75 is output as digital data _DOL of the left channel from an output terminal 78 via a delay circuit 77, and the output from the interpolation circuit 76 is a delay circuit
The digital data _DOR of the right channel is output from the output terminal 80 via 79. The delay amounts of the delay circuits 77 and 79 are controlled by a switching control signal from the switching control circuit 68. Here, the setting of the delay amounts of the delay circuits 77 and 79 will be described by taking as an example the case of a new format having an interleave length of one frame (490H). In FIG. 2, at the time of recording, the time code T _CI is supplied to the terminal 31 and the digital data D _I is supplied to the input terminal 11. The timings of these time code T _CI and digital data D _I are, for example, The relationship is as shown in FIG. That is, the time code T in units of one frame
The head of the n frames of _CI and k-th word of the digital data D _I is present and the beginning of the n + 1 frame k + 1470
The word exists. For subsequent frames,
At the beginning of each frame, there is a word obtained by adding 1470 to the word located at the beginning of the previous frame. Here, attention is paid only to the data of one channel, and 3 words per 1H (1 frame: 3 × 490 = 1470 words). In addition, it is needless to say that the parity check word and the error detection word are not included. Next, in FIG. 2, the timing of the time code T _CO output from the terminal 32 and the timing of the digital data D ₀ output from the output terminal 16 are the same as those at the time of recording as shown in FIG. 10 (B). By comparison, a shift of 3 frames has occurred. That is, for example, k-th word of the digital data D ₀ is come to the top of the n + 3 frame of the time code T _CO, also, k + 1470-th word is come to the top of the n + 4 frames. K word and k + 1470 of the digital data D ₀
The words are, of course, the same words as the k words and k + 1470 words of the input digital data D _I at the time of recording described above. If the delay circuit 77 or the delay circuit 79 is not provided, the data delay amount is, for example, about 2 frames + 5 words. However, the delay circuit 77 or the delay circuit 79 reduces the data delay amount in the encoder 13 and the decoder 14 to exactly 3 frames. (4410 words).
Thus, by pulling the 3 from the value of the frame of the reproduced time code T _CO, what timing or recorded data it can be easily judged at the time of recording, when editing such, control system Is very easy. For example, even when only one frame is rewritten, the setting of the data input timing is easy. G-5. Dubbing In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, a delay circuit 17 for delaying a time code at the time of dubbing is provided in the digital signal processing device 10. The delay amount of the delay circuit 17 is set equal to the delay amount of data with respect to the time code (3 frames in the above example), and the pseudo video signal and the time code at the video signal output terminal 91 of the VTR 90 on the reproducing side are set. It becomes possible to keep the timing relationship with the time code at the output terminal 92 and the timing relationship between the pseudo video signal at the video signal input terminal 101 of the recording side VTR 100 and the time code at the time code input terminal 102 equal. ing. In the case of the conventional format having an interleave length of 35H, the delay amounts of the delay circuits 77 and 79 are controlled so that the data delay amount in the encoder 13 and the decoder 14 is exactly one frame.
In this case, it goes without saying that the delay amount of the delay circuit 17 is set to one frame. H. Effects of the Invention As is apparent from the above description of the embodiments, according to the digital signal processing device of the present invention, a plurality of types of data interleaving lengths at the time of recording are selectively switched, resulting in an error. The requirements for both audio and non-audio regarding the correction capability and the time difference of data at the input / output terminals at the time of simultaneous monitoring during recording can be satisfied at the same time. Also, the amount of hardware can be much reduced compared to the case where separate systems are configured.
