It is furthermore observed that in trick-play reproduction areas that can be reproduced with the second and fifth trick-play reproduction speeds, digital signal data SD do not record a start of a television program recorded in normal-play reproduction areas, but trick-play data as this is generally done.

  • magnetic tape transport means may be arranged for transporting a magnetic tape with, for example, six different trick-play reproduction speeds, but the beginning of the television programs can be recorded, for example, only in trick-play reproduction areas that can be reproduced with only two of these six trick-play reproduction speeds.
  • Trick-play reproduction areas that can be reproduced with the other trick-play reproduction speeds can record trick-play data or other information.
  • an insertion stage can be arranged for processing the first MPEG transport stream MPl, so that certain portions of television programs to be recorded which are contained in the first MPEG transport stream MPl are additionally recorded in trick-play reproduction areas to enable an advantageous playback search mode described previously.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de reproduction (1) muni de moyens d'entraînement (8) pour bande magnétique, destinés à entraîner une bande magnétique (15) à une vitesse de reproduction normale (V1), à au moins une vitesse de reproduction truquée (V2-V9), et à une vitesse d'enroulement (VS, VR), ces vitesse de reproduction truquée (V2-V9) et d'enroulement (VS, VR) étant supérieures à la vitesse de reproduction normale (V1). Cet appareil comporte également des moyens de reproduction (7, 10) destinés à reproduire des données de signaux numériques (SD) provenant soit des zones de reproduction normale d'une bande magnétique (15), laquelle est entraînée par les moyens d'entraînement (8) pour bande magnétique à une vitesse de reproduction normale (V1), soit des zones de reproduction truquée d'une bande magnétique (15) entraînée par lesdits moyens d'entraînement à une vitesse de reproduction truquée (V2-V9). Cet appareil comprend par ailleurs des moyens de commande (31) conçus pour commander ces moyens d'entraînement (8) pour bande magnétique en mode recherche lecture, de sorte que la bande magnétique (15) peut être entraînée jusqu'à une position prédéfinie (P3, P4, P7, P10, P11), que cette bande magnétique (15) atteint à une vitesse supérieure à la vitesse de reproduction normale (V1), cette bande pouvant ensuite être entraînée à cette vitesse de reproduction normale (V1). Des moyens d'attribution (30) sont en outre destinés à attribuer à ladite bande magnétique (15) au moins une position prédéfinie (P3, P4, P7, P10, P11) à au moins une vitesse de reproduction truquée (V2-V9), les moyens de commande (31) permettant par ailleurs à la bande magnétique d'atteindre une position prédéfinie (P3, P4, P7, P10, P11) et de commander les moyens d'entraînement (8) pour bande magnétique qui entraînent cette bande jusqu'à sa position prédéfinie (P3, P4, P7, P10, P11), et ce à la vitesse de reproduction truquée (V2-V9) à laquelle la bande magnétique (15) peut atteindre sa position prédéfinie (P3, P4, P7, P10, P11).
