DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a video and audio recording device for news gathering, and more particularly to position information of a news gathering location, a month of a news gathering date,
An interview camera that can record date, time information and interview comment information together with video and audio on a removable recording medium,
The present invention relates to a dedicated playback device capable of detecting such information, displaying a news gathering location on a map, displaying news gathering date and time, and news gathering comments on a monitor, and outputting video and audio.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, GPS (Global Posi)
Cameras and VTRs that can record position information, photographing time, and the like using a Tying System) record such information on a magnetic tape by a superimpose processing operation, and at the time of reproduction, the photographing location and recording time are superimposed. It was displayed simultaneously with the recorded video.

Therefore, when the magnetic tape is reproduced, the photographing place and the recording time are displayed on the same screen in a superimposed manner together with the recorded video.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
The video recording apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 354485 is an apparatus aiming to easily record information on a shooting location together with a video together with a date, a time, and a time of a current location.

As shown in FIG. 3, this apparatus searches for a place name stored in a map database based on longitude and latitude position information measured by a GPS receiver, and takes in the place name. At the same time, the date, time, and time of the current location are captured and supplied to the data display processing unit, and the location name, date, time, and time information of the current location are subjected to signal processing so that they can be superimposed by the video recording processing unit. It is output, superimposed on the shooting screen, and recorded on a magnetic tape.

Another conventional example is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-28872.
Although the video device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5 (1993) -205 can be mentioned, this technology is similar to the technology described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-354485.

[0007]

However, the prior art described above has the following drawbacks.

The first problem is that the place where the image was taken in the prior art is displayed by superimposing the place name.

[0009] The reason is that, in the case of news gathering, it is conceivable that the shooting location is not always constant and changes while shooting. In such a case, there was a limit in displaying the place name.

[0010] The second problem is that, in the prior art, it is impossible to record a comment which is a point of coverage in a photographed video at the same time as the photographing.

[0011] The reason is that, in the case of coverage shooting, by recording a comment that is a point of coverage at the same time as shooting, it is not lost like a memo written by a person, and the memo is recorded even after coverage. This is because work efficiency can be improved without seeing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and has been made to solve the above-described problems inherent in the prior art.
