FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of a transmission signal in a digital broadcast signal. As shown in FIG. 2A, the transmission signal is composed of a packet consisting of 204 bytes, and a 4-byte header 50, for example, an international standard MPEG2 (Moving Picture Expert Group 2) is used. It consists of 184-byte data 51, which is information such as compressed video, audio, and additional data, and 16-byte check bits. As shown in the packet system (B), this packet is multiplexed and sent on one transmission path. In general, video, audio, and additional data of a plurality of programs are multiplexed as well as one program. (C) The header structure is the contents of the header 50. In the figure, 53 is a synchronization byte indicating the head of the packet, 54 is a transport error indicator, 55 is a payload unit start indicator, 56 is a transport priority, 57 is PID indicating the attribute of the packet, 58
Is a transport scramble control, 59 is an adaptation field control, and 60 is a continuity damage, each of which indicates various attributes and states related to a packet, and consists of 4 bytes as a whole. Each number represents the number of bits.
A digital broadcast signal transmitted from a satellite or the like is received from the digital broadcast input terminal 4 and input to the tuner 5 to select and output a desired signal. The output of the tuner 5 is demodulated by the QPSK demodulation circuit 6 and input to the FEC 7. The FEC 7 uses the check bit 52 to perform error correction of the input digital signal accompanying transmission. The output of the FEC 7 is sent to the reproduction changeover switch 8 and the interface circuit 12.
When a broadcast signal is output, the output of the FEC 7 is input to the packet separation circuit 9 by selecting the reproduction changeover switch 8 to a. The packet separation circuit 9 determines the type of each packet based on the PID 57 or the like in the header 50, separates only the video and audio packets related to the specific program, and outputs them to the MPEG decoder 10. Further, since the multiplexed signal includes a packet called PCR (Progrm Clock Reference) indicating time information when compressed by a broadcasting station, for example, the clock recovery circuit 13 uses this PCR to use the decoder clock 45. Play. The decoder clock 45 reproduced by the clock reproduction circuit 13 is controlled so as to have the same frequency as that of a clock used in a compression device (not shown) when compressed by MPEG2 at a broadcasting station, for example. In the MPEG decoder 10, the video and audio compressed by MPEG 2 or the like are expanded from the input separation signal and the decoder clock 45 reproduced by the clock reproduction circuit 13, respectively, to obtain an expanded video signal and an expanded audio signal. The video signal is converted to an analog video signal for television by an NTSC encoder and output from the video output terminal 15, and the audio signal is converted to an analog audio signal by the D / A converter 14 and output from the audio output terminal 16. .
On the other hand, when recording in the recording / reproducing apparatus 2, the output of the FEC 7 is input by the interface circuit 12, and the packet relating to the video, audio and additional information relating to the program to be recorded is separated as in the packet separation circuit 9. However, since the interface circuit 12 needs to record program information necessary for automatic channel selection or the like when recording / reproducing by the recording / reproducing apparatus 2, in addition to the packet selected by the packet separation circuit 9, other programs Information is also selected, and partial packet conversion is performed. The signal separated by the interface circuit 12 is input to the packet control circuit 18 when the recording signal changeover switch 17 selects c. The packet control circuit 18 divides packet data consisting of 188 bytes into 92-byte packet data A99 and 96-byte packet data B as shown in FIG. A header 98 is added. In the packet header 98, data indicating time information when a packet called a time stamp is input is generated and added. In the figure, it is indicated by a hatched portion 102.
The signal divided by the packet control circuit 18 and added with the packet header 98 is added to the recording / playback processing circuit 19 by an AUX 97 indicating additional information and a header 96 as shown in FIG. . One packet of data is composed of two blocks, block 90 and block 91. Further, C1P 101 for error correction, synchronization signal 92 indicating the head of the block, ID1 (93), ID2 (94), ID1 (93) and ID2 (94) error detection parity including information such as the block position. The recording signal 152 is generated by adding the IDP 95, and is recorded on the magnetic tape 22 by the rotary head 23 via the recording amplifier 20. FIG. 4 shows a recording format on the magnetic tape 22, which is a track format when the rotary head rotates 180 °. An area 70 is a preamble, 71 is a subcode as additional information, 72 is a gap, 73 is main data having the block structure of FIG. 3A, 74 is a postamble, 75 is main data, and 76 is main data 75. This is a parity C2P for error correction. The subcode 71 has a pack structure called pack data, as shown in the subcode of FIG.
During reproduction, a reproduction signal 153 reproduced by the rotary head 23 is input to the recording / reproduction processing circuit 19 via the reproduction amplifier 21, and detection of the synchronization signal 92, ID1 (93), ID2 (94), etc., C1P101, C2P76 Etc., and packet data A99 and packet data B100 are extracted and sent to the packet control circuit 18. The packet control circuit 18 outputs each packet at the same time interval as at the time of recording in accordance with the time stamp 102 added at the time of recording, and sends it to the reproduction changeover switch 8 via the interface circuit 12. When a reproduction screen is obtained, the reproduced packet is sent to the packet separation circuit 9 by selecting the reproduction switch 8 to b. In the packet separation circuit 9, automatic channel selection is performed based on a packet related to program information separated and converted by the interface circuit 12 during recording, and only necessary packets are output to the MPEG decoder 10. In the following, the video signal and the audio signal are obtained in the same manner as when the output from the broadcast signal is obtained.
Even during reproduction, the decoder clock 45 used in the MPEG decoder 10 needs to obtain the same frequency as when compressed by a broadcasting station or the like. For this purpose, at least the time interval of each PCR input at the time of recording must be accurately stored and reproduced and output. This is why the time stamp 102 is added by the packet control circuit 18 at the time of recording, and during reproduction, each packet is output according to the time stamp 102 by the packet control circuit 18 to preserve the time interval between packet outputs. be able to. Therefore, it is necessary to use the decoder clock 45 regenerated by the clock regenerating circuit 13 as the clock used for generating the time stamp 102 at the time of recording. At the time of recording, the clock changeover switch 25 selects e and performs control so that the decoder clock 45 is input to the packet control circuit 18.
On the other hand, at the time of reproduction, the clock reproduction circuit 13 in the digital broadcast receiving apparatus 1 operates and generates the decoder clock 45 at the timing output from the packet control circuit 18, so that the packet control circuit 18 uses the decoder clock 45. I can't. Therefore, the clock generation circuit 24 for generating the fixed clock 46 is provided, and when the clock changeover switch 25 selects f, the fixed clock 46 is input to the packet control circuit 18, and the packet is output at the timing generated by the fixed clock 46. So that Thereby, the clock recovery circuit 13 can generate a stable clock according to the fixed clock 46. The clock generation circuit 24 generally uses a crystal oscillator or the like, but it is necessary to use a frequency within a range within a standard such as MPEG2.
The operation when recording / reproducing an analog broadcast such as the current terrestrial broadcast according to the present invention in the recording / reproducing apparatus will be described below.
When recording an analog broadcast, an analog video signal 150 is input from the video input terminal 26 of the encoder device 3 shown in FIG. 1, converted into a digital signal by the video A / D converter 28, and for example a digital broadcast signal by the video encoder 30. In the same manner as in the above case, the image is compressed using MPEG2 or the like, and is output to the multiplexing circuit 32. An analog audio signal 151 is input from the audio input terminal 27, converted into a digital signal by the audio A / D converter 29, compressed by the audio encoder 31, and output to the multiplexing circuit 32 in the same manner. The multiplexing circuit 32 multiplexes the video stream 42 generated by the video encoder 30, the audio stream 43 generated by the audio encoder 31, and the like.
FIG. 5 shows an example of the timing of the multiplexing operation. In the figure, video 1 (110), video 2 (111), etc. in video stream 42 are each packet after being compressed by video encoder 30, audio 1 (113), audio 2 (114), etc. in audio stream 43 are Each packet 44 after being compressed by the audio encoder 31 indicates a multiplexed stream multiplexed by the multiplexing circuit 32, and the length of each packet depends on the transfer rate depending on the compression rate. . In general, the transmission rate of the audio stream 43 is lower than the transmission rate of the video stream 42.
In the multiplexing circuit 32, as shown in FIG. 5, the video stream 42 and the audio stream 43 are stored once, and both packets are time-divided at a constant transfer rate (generally, the video stream 42 and the audio stream 43). (Use a transfer rate equal to or higher than the sum of the transmission rates). Further, packets PAT118, PMT119, PCR120, SI table 121 and the like relating to program information defined by the MPEG2 standard are generated and output at a time when video and audio are not transmitted. Note that PMT describes the PID of packets such as video and audio that constitute one program, and PAT describes the PID of the PMT packet corresponding to each program. SI is other information such as a copy guard and a code indicating a recording discontinuity. As in the present invention, PAT and PMT when analog broadcast is converted from analog to digital and a compressed signal is recorded and reproduced may be uniquely defined, or may be assigned to an existing arbitrary program.

Null (115, 125, 126) is dummy data having no meaning, and the amount thereof depends on the difference between the total number of each packet and the transmission rate of the multiplexed stream.
As shown in FIG. 5, a video stream 42, an audio stream 43, other packets, and nulls are multiplexed in a time division manner to form one signal. Here, packets such as video 1 (110) and video 2 (111) on the video stream 42 and packets such as video 1 (116) and video 2 (117) on the multiplexed stream 44 have the same contents. Similarly, packets such as audio 1 (113) and audio 2 (114) on the audio stream 43 and packets such as audio 1 (122) and audio 2 (124) on the multiplexed stream 44 have the same contents. It is.
As described above, the stream structure of the multiplexed stream 44 is the same stream structure as the output of the interface circuit 12 of the digital broadcast receiving apparatus 1, so that the recording signal selector switch 17 selects d and inputs it to the packet control circuit 18. As a result, the multiplexed stream 44 can be recorded and reproduced by the same operation as that for recording and reproducing a digital broadcast.
When recording the multiplexed stream 44, the clock used for generating the time stamp 102 in the packet control circuit is the clock used by the video encoder 30, the audio encoder 31, etc., as described in the description of the recording of the digital broadcast. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the video encoder 30, the audio encoder 31, and the multiplexing circuit 32 are operated by a fixed clock 46 generated by the clock generation circuit 24, and the clock changeover switch 25 is operated. Selects f so that the fixed clock 46 is input to the packet control circuit 18. Also during reproduction, the clock selector switch 25 selects f, and the packet control circuit 18 uses the fixed clock 46.
In addition, when there is a sufficient transfer rate allowed for the recording / reproducing apparatus, digital broadcast and analog broadcast can be recorded simultaneously. FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a digital broadcast signal reception / recording / reproducing apparatus in this case. The broadcast stream as the output of the interface circuit 12 is also input to the multiplexing circuit 32, and the video encoder 30, audio encoder 31, and multiplexing circuit are input. 1 is different from FIG. 1 in that 32 is operated by the output clock of the clock changeover switch 25.
At the time of recording, as shown in FIG. 7, the packets of the broadcast stream 41, the video stream 42, and the audio stream 43 are time-division multiplexed, and a multiplexed stream is generated by adding PMT, PCR, and the like. In this case, the PAT is already included in the broadcast stream 41 (a packet indicated by 130 in FIG. 7), but this includes only information related to the program included in the broadcast stream, and therefore includes information related to analog broadcasting. Need to be converted to In the figure, reference numeral 131 denotes a converted PAT.
In this case, since the packet control circuit 18 uses the decoder clock 45 generated by the clock recovery circuit 13, the clock selector switch selects e, and the video encoder 30, the audio encoder 31 and the like also use the decoder clock 45. At the time of reproduction, the clock selector switch 25 selects f and uses the fixed clock 46.
At the time of reproduction, the user selects digital broadcast or analog broadcast, and based on the PAT converted at the time of recording, only the packet of either program is selected by the packet separation circuit 9 and input to the MPEG decoder 10 for desired Get video and audio for the program.
As described above, digital broadcasting and analog broadcasting converted into digital signals can be easily and simultaneously recorded on multiple channels. In the apparatus of FIG. 6, if the multiplexing circuit 32 is provided with a mode in which the broadcast stream 41 is not output, and only the video stream 42 and the audio stream 43 are multiplexed, the operation mode is the same as that described in FIG. At the time of recording in this case, the clock selector switch 25 may select f. In addition, only the video is selected from the broadcast stream 41 and only the audio is selected from the audio stream 43, or conversely, only the audio is selected from the broadcast stream 41 and only the video is selected from the audio stream 43. It is also possible to select the audio from another source.
In the above description, the interface circuit 12, the multiplexing circuit 32, and the packet control circuit 18 are described as unidirectional signals, but these may be used as input / output buses. FIG. 8 shows the configuration of the signal lines in this case, and the outputs 140, 143, and 144 can be set to high impedance. Tristate buffers 141 and 142 are input buffers.
In the configuration shown in the figure, the buffer 143 and the buffer 144 are set to high impedance during digital broadcast recording, and input from the buffer 140 to the packet control circuit 18 via the input buffer 142, and the buffer 140 and buffer are recorded during analog broadcast recording. 143 is input to the packet control circuit 18 from the buffer 144 via the input buffer 142 with the high impedance, and is input to the interface circuit 12 from the buffer 143 via the input buffer 141 with the buffer 140 and the buffer 144 being set to high impedance during reproduction. Just do it. Thereby, the number of signal lines between the interface circuit 12 and the packet control circuit 18 can be reduced.
In addition, the video A / D converter 28, the audio A / D converter 29, the video encoder 30, the audio encoder 31, the multiplexing circuit 32, and the like may be built in the recording / reproducing apparatus 2 or the digital broadcast receiving apparatus 1 may include It may be built in. Although not particularly shown, the packet separation circuit 9, the MPEG decoder 10, the NTSC encoder 11, and the D / A converter 14 may be provided independently in the recording / reproducing apparatus. As a result, a reproduced video signal can be obtained even by the recording / reproducing apparatus alone. Of course, the digital broadcast receiving apparatus 1, the recording / reproducing apparatus 2, and the encoder apparatus 3 may all be integrated.
In the above description, recording / reproduction of only a digital signal has been described. However, for example, an analog signal recording / reproduction function such as the current VHS VTR may be provided. FIG. 9 is a block diagram of a receiving / recording / reproducing apparatus capable of selecting and recording a digital signal and an analog signal, and the same parts as those in FIGS. 1 and 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals.
In the figure, 200 is an analog broadcast input terminal, 201 is an analog tuner, 202 is an analog audio recording / reproducing circuit, 203 is an analog video recording / reproducing circuit, 204 is an analog video recording amplifier, 205 is an analog video reproducing amplifier, and 206 is a system controller. 207, an output selection circuit, 208 an external audio output terminal, 209 an external video input terminal, 210 a digital recording changeover switch, 220 a video head, and 221 an audio head.
In the case of digital recording with the apparatus shown in the figure, when the digital recording changeover switch 210 selects g, the output of the digital signal processing circuit 47 is transmitted to the magnetic tape 22 by the audio head 221 of the rotary head 23 via the reproduction amplifier 20. Digitally recorded. At the same time, although not shown, a tracking signal for servo is recorded in synchronization with the rotation of the rotary head 22 by the system control 206. At this time, the output of the analog video recording amplifier 204 is stopped under the control of the system controller 206.
During playback, the playback video signal 230 and playback audio signal 231 are generated by the digital broadcast receiver 1 in the same manner as described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 6, and are selected by the output selection circuit 207 under the control of the system controller 206. Thus, the image is output from the external video output terminal 209 and the external audio output terminal 208.
When analog broadcast is digitally recorded, an analog broadcast signal is received from the analog broadcast input terminal 200 and input to the analog tuner 201 to generate an analog video signal 150 and an analog audio signal 151 of a desired program, and an encoder device It is sufficient to input 3.
When analog broadcasting is recorded in analog form using the current VHS method or the like, similarly, an analog broadcast signal is received from the analog broadcast input terminal 200 and input to the analog tuner 201, and the analog video signal 150 and analog audio of the desired program are received. A signal 151 is generated. The analog video signal 150 is processed by the analog video recording / reproducing circuit 203 so as to be, for example, a VHS standard signal, and is recorded by the video head 220 of the rotary head 23 via the analog video recording amplifier 204. At the same time, the analog audio signal 151 is processed by the analog audio recording / reproducing circuit 202 so as to become a signal of the VHS standard, for example, and is output by the audio head 221 of the rotary head 23 via the digital recording changeover switch 210 selected for h and the recording amplifier 20. To be recorded. A servo tracking signal is recorded in the same manner as in digital recording. The video head 220 and the voice head 221 have different azimuth angles and are recorded in azimuth.
Due to azimuth loss during reproduction, the signal recorded by the video head 220 is reproduced only by the video head 220, and the signal recorded by the audio head 221 is reproduced only by the audio head 221. The video signal reproduced by the video head 220 is processed by the analog video recording / reproducing circuit 203 through the analog audio reproducing amplifier 205 to generate a reproduced video signal 232, which is output from the external video output terminal 209 by the output selection circuit 207. The The audio signal reproduced by the audio head 221 is processed by the analog audio recording / reproducing circuit 202 via the reproduction amplifier 21 to generate a reproduced audio signal 233, which is output from the external audio output terminal 208 by the output selection circuit 207. The
In this case, generally, the feed speed of the magnetic tape 22 is different between digital recording and analog recording. For example, in the case of analog recording, the double mode (standard mode is different from the standard mode of the VHS standard and the triple mode in the digital recording. The system control 206 controls so that the feed speed is ½ (the recording time is doubled). In addition, since digital recording may be performed only on a specific tape (for example, an S-VHS tape conforming to the VHS standard), the system control 206 may detect the tape (generally, whether or not there is a hole formed in the cassette). In the case of a tape other than the S-VHS tape, control is performed so that analog recording is always performed. In this case, since the digital broadcast cannot be recorded as it is, the video signal 230 and the audio signal 231 once generated by the digital broadcast receiving apparatus 1 are recorded via the input selection circuit 250 as shown in FIG. Input to the reproduction circuit 203 and the analog audio recording / reproduction circuit 202 and the analog recording described above may be performed.
Although not shown at the time of reproduction, the system control 206 detects the servo tracking signal to determine the tape speed at the time of recording. In the standard mode and the triple mode, the analog reproduction and the double mode are performed. Is automatically switched by the system control 206 so that digital playback is performed. As a result, the user does not need to be aware of whether the data is recorded digitally or analogly, and the user automatically switches to a predetermined mode, from the external video output terminal 209 and the external audio output terminal 208. A desired signal can be obtained.
Also, the digital broadcast receiver 1 is a separate device, the output selection circuit 207 is not provided, and the output of the digital broadcast receiver 1 and the outputs of the analog video recording / reproducing circuit 203 and the analog audio recording / reproducing circuit 202 are made independent. Also good.
In the above description, a magnetic tape is used as a recording medium. However, other recording media such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, and a semiconductor memory may be used. Although not shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, a decryption circuit for restoring the encrypted signal may be provided between the QPSK demodulation circuit 6 and the FEC 7. Further, packet selection performed by the interface circuit 12, conversion of packets related to program information, and the like may be performed by the packet separation circuit 9 or the packet control circuit 18.
