Description

Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention relates to a video signal (which may include an audio signal) recorded over an arbitrary length section in the longitudinal direction of a magnetic tape.
The present invention relates to a video information reproducing apparatus for reproducing a magnetic tape on which one or more programs each consisting of a series of blocks are recorded, with each block as a unit.

The present invention automatically selects a block specified by a command or control command from an input device, and repeatedly plays this block on a VTR (video tape recorder) until the next command is received. or by programming control instructions so that specified blocks are played back in a predetermined order, so that the same magnetic tape can be played back in response to a target or in response to a response from a viewer's input device. Can be played in various orders and therefore VT
A suitable video information reproducing device is provided by applying R to training, learning, etc.

Further, in the present invention, the control commands are optically or magnetically recorded on the program card, and this information is read out at the same time as the book is selected.Once the control commands have been read, the control board ◆ This simplifies the configuration of the control command storage device by omitting a buffer for storage.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration, and in the figure, 1 is a monitor receiver, and 2 is a helical scan type rotary two-head VTR. be.

The reproduction output (video signal and audio signal) of the VTR 2 is supplied to the monitor receiver 1 and reproduced there.

In this case, the television signal received by the monitor receiver 1 may be recorded by the VTR 2.

Further, numeral 3 indicates a control device, and the VTR can be automatically operated in response to electrical signals from the control device 3.

Reference numeral 2a is a driving accessory for this purpose.

Reference numeral 4 indicates a control command storage device consisting of a program card and its reading sensor, and 5 indicates an input device such as a keyboard.

As shown in FIG. 2, the magnetic tape 11 to be reproduced by the VTR 2 has a video signal block A1 and a similar block A2 recorded over an arbitrary length section in the longitudinal direction.
．． A3... A program consisting of (1) is recorded.

This program is not limited to one, but a common magnetic tape 1
In some cases, a plurality of programs may be recorded in one.

Three types of cue signals are then recorded as markers on the audio track or cue signal dedicated track of the magnetic tape 11.

The cue signal P is for associating the first position of a block diagram consisting of a series of blocks, that is, the block A1, with the first address of a control command, which will be described later.

The cue signal S indicates the beginning of each of blocks A1 to An, and the cue signal E indicates the end of each of blocks A to An.

The cue signals P, S and E are distinguished by the number of pulses reproduced.

That is, the cue signal is recorded as a pulse signal, and therefore, when the cue signal is reproduced, a reproduced output having the differential waveform shown in FIG. 3A is obtained.

This reproduced output is passed through the waveform shaping circuit 12 and converted into a pulse signal shown in FIG. 3B.

This pulse signal is counted by a counter 13.

As an example, the cue signal P has 24 pulses, the cue signal S has 8 pulses, and the cue signal E has 2 pulses.

Then, the count value of the counter 13 is supplied to the decoder 14, whereby cue signals P, E, and S are obtained.

15 is a counter for counting the Moyu signal S.

FIG. 4 shows the structure of the control commands stored in the control command storage device 4, where the word (1) consists of 8 bits X1 to X8.

The first and second bits (X1X2) have information on the type of instruction.

In other words, it is determined as shown in the table below.

Further, the third bit X3 to the seventh bit X7 represent the distance traveled to the next predetermined address, and are from (0001) to (1
, 111), and the number (1 to 31) is specified.

Further, the 8th bit specifies the direction of movement; 0' indicates forward movement, and 4 (111) indicates backward movement.

One word of the control command corresponds to each block of the video signal recorded on the magnetic tape 11 on a one-to-one basis.

In this example, as shown in FIG.
The correspondence is made by matching the order of A7.

In this example, the control command storage device 4 is configured as a card reader, and the control commands are written on a punch card 16 as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 6, the shaded area is the punched area, which corresponds to the control command "1" in FIG.

This punch card 16 is read by a reading sensor consisting of a light source (for example, a lamp) and a light receiving element (for example, a phototransistor). The reading operation is performed by moving in the direction indicated by (direction of force).

At this time, a pulse is generated when moving one step, that is, moving one address in the Z direction.

The reading operation of the control command storage device 4 and the operation of the VTR 2 are automatically driven (operated) by the control device 3.

FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the control device 3, and 17 indicates the cue signal identification and cue signal S shown in FIG.
The count value of the cue signal and the cue signal S from this counter is supplied to the decoder 18.

This decoder 18 receives control commands read from the control command storage device 4, commands generated by key operations on the input device 5, and commands for one step movement of the reading sensor in the Z direction during punch card reading operation. A pulse generated at a rate of 1 is given.

As a result, a command is generated from the decoder 18 to the read sensor drive control device 19 and the YrR drive signal generation circuit 20.

This reading sensor drive control device 19 drives the reading sensor to move by a predetermined amount in the Z direction and to scan the program card 16 in the Y direction, and also controls whether the reading sensor moves in the direction of tilting back and forth in the Z direction. It is to be specified.

Further, the VTR drive signal generation circuit 20 generates an operation command for the VTR 2, which is given to the drive accessory 2a.

As a result, the VTR 2 automatically performs operations such as forward steady forwarding, stopping, rewinding, and forward fast forwarding in response to operation commands.

The input device 5 also includes three types of operation keys, namely a start key 21a, a skip key 21b, and a repeat key 2.
1c is provided.

The start key 21a is pressed at the beginning or in the middle of a program to execute the program from the beginning.

When the start key 21a is pressed, the VTR 2 automatically enters a rewind state by the control device 3, and automatically enters a replay state when the cue signal P is reproduced.

The reading sensor of the control command storage device 4 is also controlled by the control device 3 to read out the control command at the first address.

The skip key 21b is a key for jumping to the next block based on a control command.

The repeat key 21c is pressed in the middle of a block and is used to reproduce that block from the beginning.

An embodiment of the present invention described above will be explained by taking as an example a case where blocks A1 to A7 are recorded on the magnetic tape 11 as shown in FIG. 5, and control commands are programmed.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart in this case.

First, when the start key 21a is pressed, the control device 3 sends a rewind command to the VTR 2, the cue signal reproduced from the magnetic tape 11 is identified, and when the cue signal P is sensed, the control device 3 sends a rewind command to the VTR 2. Stop→Play] command to VT
R2, VTR2 enters the playback state, and block A1
is regenerated.

- The reading sensor of the force and control command storage device 4 is set to address 1, and the control command at address 1 is called up to the control device 3.

In this example, control stand 4-(X, X2 X3 X
4 X5X6 X7 X8 ) is (10001000)
Therefore, playback of block A1 is repeated (recycled) using cue signal E until the skip key 21'b is pressed.

When the skip key 21b is pressed, the screen jumps to block A, which is four blocks ahead (forward).

This jump is performed for the block by counting the number of cue signals S by four with a counter 15, and for the control command storage device 4 by counting the pulses generated at a rate of one every time the reading sensor advances by one address. Address 5 is specified by .

At the time of this jump, the VTR 2 is fast-forwarded (on the contrary, if it is backward, it is rewound), and the cue signal is reproduced at a frequency approximately 100 times (4 kHz) as that of recording.

Then, when flock A5 is specified, the VTR 2 enters the playback state, the flock version is played, and the number 4 at address 5 is
>(10110001) is called by the control device 3.

This control command at address 5 is sent to block A5 by cue signal E.
is repeatedly reproduced, and when the skip key 21b is pressed, the content is to jump three blocks backward, that is, to reproduce block A2.

Hereinafter, in the same manner as described above, blocks A to A7 are reproduced in a predetermined order by a control command, by a command corresponding to a key operation on the input device 5, or by being repeatedly reproduced as necessary, These blocks A1-A
7 images will be displayed on the monitor receiver 1.

In this example, block A4 is programmed not to be reproduced, so any control command may be written at address 4.

It should be noted that if the repeat key 21c is pressed while any block is being reproduced, regardless of the control command, the block will be reproduced from the beginning.

According to the present invention described above, the blocks A1 to An of video signals recorded on the magnetic tape 11 are automatically reproduced in a predetermined order according to a preset program and displayed on the monitor receiver 1. It can be projected.

Therefore, the same longitudinal tape can be played back in different orders depending on the subject or depending on the response from the viewer's input device.
TR2 can be applied to training, learning, etc.

Furthermore, since it is sufficient to record cue signals in addition to video signal blocks on the magnetic tape 11, the video signal source is easy to create and can be created using an ordinary television receiver and VTR.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since it takes a certain amount of time to search for the playback position on the magnetic tape 11, a card reader consisting of a program card and its reading means can be used as the control command storage device 4, and the reading means always reads the block being played back. The control command is read out by controlling the control command to come to the position where the control command corresponding to the address is written.

In other words, it is possible to eliminate the need for a dedicated buffer memory for control commands.

However, if the number of bits in one word of a control instruction is quite large, a small-scale buffer may be provided to store this one word.

Note that the control commands corresponding to each block may be recorded in the cue signal track of the magnetic tape 11, and the control commands may be associated with the blocks, and the control command storage device 4 may be omitted.
