Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an orchestral video (karaoke) image where places to be sung are easily found even if timing with accompaniment deviates by mixing and recording background video information, sound information on the accompaniment of an object song, and character information on the text, and character information whose song characters are colored as the sound information advances, and recording them on a video recording medium. CONSTITUTION:A mixer 2 mixes the video information, character information, and character information whose song characters to be sung are colored by a hue changing device as the advance of the voice character and then they are mixed with the sound information as an accompaniment generated by a sound information supply device 5 to generate a mixed song 6, which is recorded by a recording and reproducing device 7 such as a video tape recorder. When the recording and reproducing device 7 is placed in playback mode, the video information A and character information B are displayed on a display device 9, and the accompaniment is reproduced by a sound generator 1. In this case, the character information B turns red from white in order as the advance of the accompaniment, so the user sings the song by following characters which turn red over a look at the display device 9 to time himself or herself with the accompaniment.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a karaoke video, that is, a video recording that records audio information that becomes the accompaniment of the song to be sung, text information that becomes the core lyrics, and video information that becomes the core background. Regarding the method.

Recently, so-called karaoke machines, which play accompaniment music recorded on magnetic tape and sing the lyrics along with it, have become popular. Conventional karaoke machines use a lyrics book with lyrics printed on it, search for the corresponding lyrics from the lyrics book, and sing along with the accompaniment while looking at the lyrics.
Since it is necessary to keep a collection of lyrics, the lyrics collection may be lost, and if the song is vaguely memorized, the timing of the beginning of the song may be off, making it difficult to sing well.

On the other hand, with the spread of video tape recorders, karaoke video tapes have become commercially available.

This records the audio information that becomes the accompaniment of the song to be sung, the textual information that becomes the core lyrics, and the video information that becomes the core background. A background that matches the song is projected on a cathode ray tube. Therefore, although it has the advantage that it can be sung without a lyric card, it is easy to handle because there is no need to store the lyric card, and the song is filled with emotion from the background, the lyrics are displayed for several dozen verses, so the current accompaniment There were times when I couldn't figure out which lyrics the lyrics were, especially when it was a song that I vaguely remembered, and when I practiced alone, I couldn't figure out where the lyrics were against the accompaniment.

The present invention: This invention was developed in view of such a situation, and is a video recording method for obtaining a karaoke video in which the lyrics can be sung without looking at the lyrics book, and the parts to be sung can be easily understood even if the timing with the accompaniment is off. The purpose is to provide a method.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a video information supply device that supplies background video information suitable for an accompaniment piece to a mixer 2, and 3↓
This is a text information supply device that supplies the lyrics of the song to the mixer 2 as text information. Reference numeral 4 denotes a color tone changer that colors text information to provide musical assistance when the user sings a song. The video information, the text information, and the text information colored by the color tone changer into the characters to be sung along with the progress of the audio information among the text information are mixed into the mixer 2.
After being mixed in the mixer 6 with audio information as an accompaniment piece generated by the audio information supply device 5, the mixed signal is recorded in a recording/reproducing device such as a video recorder.

In this case, the text information is recorded here in synchronization with the audio information. For example, when recording the song ``Rain on Jogashima'', the accompaniment that corresponds to the lyrics ``It's raining on the rocky shores of Jogashima'' starts just before the accompaniment starts and just before (or just after) it ends. The lyrics to be sung are mixed so that they are projected, and the colors of the lyrics to be sung change as the accompaniment progresses. In other words, for example, when white characters are projected onto the gravel of Jogashima where it rains 7, as the accompaniment progresses, first the characters ``rain'' appear, then C21.
The character ``ga'' is followed by the character F jin 2, and then 7 in the following order.
The text turns red up to the letter ``ni'' and is recorded.

The signal reproduced from the recording/reproducing device 7 is separated by a separator 8, and the mixed information of video information and text information is displayed on a display 9 such as a cathode ray tube, and the audio information is sent through a mixer 10. Please make sure that the sound is played from a sound generator 11 such as a speaker. Furthermore, audio information connected from an external audio information supply device 12 such as a microphone is also reproduced from the sound generator 1j via the mixed FiIO.

To explain the operation in two or two terms, when the recording and reproducing device 7 is put into the reproducing state, for example, as shown in FIG. The song will play. In this case, as the accompaniment progresses, the character information IB sequentially changes from white to red, so the user can synchronize the timing with the accompaniment by singing the characters that have turned red one after another while looking at the display 9.

As described above, if the video recording medium created by the video recording method according to the present invention is played back, the lyrics will be displayed as characters as the accompaniment is played, and among those characters, the characters to be sung now can be replaced with other characters. Since it is possible to display the lyrics in different colors so that they can be distinguished from each other, the user not only does not have to search for the corresponding lyrics in the lyrics collection, but also it is less likely that the timing will deviate from the accompaniment.
