Definitions

• the invention relates to a cassette recorder with recording programming according to the preamble of the claim
• the object of the invention is to simplify an input in a video recorder.
• a video recorder in which the cassette with a bar code using characteristic values of the cassette e.g. is provided for tape length.
• the barcode is read using an optoelectronic reading device which is fixed in the recorder and which uses the movement of the cassette into the playback position for the reading process.
• FIG. 3 shows another arrangement of the table on the cassette for a differently operating video recorder
• Fig. 4 shows another arrangement of the table on the cassette
• Fig. 5 is a markable table
• Fig. 6 shows a further markable table.
• FIG. 1 shows a video recorder 1 with an opening 2 which is closed by a flap 3 which can be pivoted about a horizontal axis.
• a large number of operating and display elements 4 and a numerical field 5 are provided for displaying the tape level and the time.
• the video cassette 6 can be inserted into the opening 2 by hand in the horizontal direction.
• the flap 3 is swung up.
• the video cassette 6 is detected by a transport device that is automatically put into operation, first transported in the horizontal direction and then in the vertical direction downward into the play position.
• a transport device that is automatically put into operation, first transported in the horizontal direction and then in the vertical direction downward into the play position.
• Such a so-called front loader with elevator is described in more detail in DE-OS 30 31 690.
• the video cassette 6 is provided with a label 8 on its outer wall 7.
• a table 15 is arranged on the label 8.
• the photodiode 9 sends a light beam 11 onto the label 8 provided with the table 15, which is reflected in a modulated manner according to the table 15 and on arrives at the phototransistor 10.
• the latter supplies the read signal to the controller 12.
• the controller 12 works as an automatic recording and controls the recording or recording of programs.
• the controller 12 also controls, for example, the electronic counter for the numerical display 5 "for the tape position, a changeover according to the type of tape of the video cassette 6, the switching on or switching over of equalization circuits in accordance with a predistortion of the signal recorded with the video cassette 6 or further, in
• the controller 12 has a memory 22 in which the characteristic values of table 15 are stored, the automatic recording system switches the recorder 1 to recording at the desired and marked time and records a desired program the opto-electronic reading device 9, 10 takes place automatically through the defined movement of the video cassette 6 in direction 13 within the video recorder 1. For this purpose, both the movement in the horizontal direction and the movement in the vertical direction can be used.
• One or more reading devices 9, 10 for scanning a plurality of columns or rows of a table 15 are fixed in place in the video recorder 1.
• the label 8 with the table 15 is correspondingly applied in the vertical direction on an outer wall of the cassette 6.
• the table 15 is included in the vertical direction on the wall 7. This arrangement is advantageous in the case of video recorders in which the cassette 6 is inserted manually in the direction 14 into the cassette compartment of the video recorder.
• the reading device is arranged in a fixed position in the recorder, and the reading process is carried out by the movement of the cassette. It is also possible to read the table of the cassette in the stationary state of the cassette with a moving reading device.
• the reading device can be set to move automatically when or after inserting the cassette.
• the reading device can also be arranged on a cover, which is manually operated after inserting the cassette into the cassette compartment and thus executes a movement relative to the stationary cassette.
• Fig. 5 shows the label 8 with the table 15 for sticking on a video cassette.
• the characteristic values 17 of the table 15 on the label 8 can be marked manually with a pen, that is, a user colors the desired digits dark and thus generates marked characteristic values 18.
• the controller 12 can be programmed in order to automatically record a shipment .
• Video recorders are entered by means of controls or by marking the characteristic values 17, 18.
• the label 8 is advantageously washable and thus reusable.
• the VPS is described in the "Funkschau", No. 25/1985 in the article “Flexible programming with VPS” on pages 47 - 51 and in the ARD / ZDF / ZVEI guideline “Video program system (VPS ) ", published by the Association of Public Service Broadcasters of the Federal Republic of Germany with date 04.12.1984.
• the program or the program "Diner for one" which is broadcast on New Year's Eve at 7.30 p.m., is entered in the video recorder as follows in Table 15: For New Year's Eve, the 31st is to be checked or colored dark, ie in the first line the 3, in the second line the 1.
• the transmission time is in hours and minutes with the darkening of 1 in the fifth line, the 9th in the sixth line, the 3 in the seventh line and the 0 in the eighth line for 7.30 p.m.
• the first line it can also be checked whether recording should take place with or without VPS. If the VPS data sent by the sender is recorded (do not tick VPS), the duration of a program is entered in lines 9-11, for example the 3 in the 9th line and the 0 in the 10th line. nothing is marked in the 11th line. The recorder should therefore remain switched on for a period (duration) of 0 hours (11th line) and 30 minutes (9th and 10th line).
• the VPS characteristic value is marked yes, a marking in lines 9-11 is then not registered.
• the last two lines identify the channel switch.
• the tuner of a video recorder has several, e.g. 8,16,32 or 60 channel switches. With the channel switch, the tuner is tuned to regional stations.
• the optoelectronic reading device 9, 10 recognizes the darkly marked characteristic values 18, that is to say the darkly marked 1 in the 12th and the darkly marked 3 in the 13th line. Lines 13 and 13 of Table 15 are used to set channel 13. If the tuner tunes itself (station search), input by country and program source is possible. 6 shows an input option by country and program source, which can be used instead of lines 12 and 13 (channel).
• the numbers 1 and 3 in lines 12 and 13 stand for 13, hexadecimal D, for the Federal Republic of Germany, Federal Republic of Ger any (see page 16 of the ZVEI guideline). In lines 14 and 15, 1 and 6 are colored dark.
• the NDP / state program is thus nationwide as program source 16, that is, the states of Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein.
• a self-tuning tuner is looking for a station that is worth receiving and that broadcasts the country-wide national program.
• the recorder then records the program belonging to table 15.
• the evaluation circuit controls the video recorder so that the program "Diner for one", which is provided with VPS data by a transmitter, is recorded. Using the VPS data, which are arranged in the 16th line of a transmitted image signal, the recorder can uniquely assign a program source using a table, for example a PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory).
