する。Another problem is that it is not suitable for playback. Method (3)
is suitable for automation because it does not require any manual labor, and it can store not only sub-information indicating the playback procedure on the information recording medium, but also a normal directory (Dir).
It has the advantage of being suitable for recording and reproducing information signals such as file data that require random access by pre-recording sub-information such as a list of file data called an directory (6 pages). . However, since the sub information is recorded on the same information recording medium as the information signal, there is a problem that reproduction or recording of the information signal cannot be started until the work of reading the sub information from all information recording media is completed. Also, recording or reproduction of information signals may have to be interrupted in order to read sub-information such as rewriting sub-information or replacing information recording carriers.

無を知ることができる。When recording an information signal (before recording or (during or after recording)), information about the main information recording medium, for example, an information signal such as a video signal is recorded over multiple main information recording media. information on the content of the information signal, if the information signal is file data, a list of file data called a directory, and if necessary, information on whether recording is prohibited, Sub information including information related to control of the information recording medium's rotational speed, signal recording method, etc. is recorded.When starting reproduction of the information signal recorded on the main information recording medium, the information stored in the stocker is recorded. In this state, the sub information can be immediately reproduced from the sub information recording medium 11 in the information recording carrier 1 by the sub recording/reproducing means 4, and the control means 6 can reproduce the sub information from the conveying means 5 and the main recording medium based on this sub information. By controlling the reproducing means 4, the stocker 2
It is possible to quickly and automatically sequentially search out the target information recording carrier 1 from among the plurality of information recording carriers 1 in the media and start reproducing or recording the information signal (regardless of whether it is a video signal, file data, etc.). can. In addition, since the information recording medium and the sub-information recording medium having sub-information related to the information recording medium are integrated to form an information recording carrier, it is possible to Even if a number of information record carriers are inserted or removed from the outside, the presence or absence of the target information record carrier can be immediately known by reading the sub information from all the information record carriers by the sub recording/reproducing means.
また、副情報の記録、再生は、情報信号の記録。Also, recording and reproduction of sub-information is recording of information signals.
再生とは独立して、しかもストッカ内すべての情報記録

行なうことができる。A sub-recording and reproducing means is provided which can record and/or shuffle sub-information on the sub-information recording medium 11 in the information recording carrier while the sub-information is stored in the stocker. , the main recording/reproducing means 3 and the conveying means 6
is controlled by the control means 6, so that the information recording carriers on which the required information signals are recorded are immediately and sequentially searched out from the plurality of information recording carriers stored in the stocker, and the information recording carriers on which the necessary information signals are recorded are immediately and sequentially searched for, reproduced, rewritten, or unrecorded information recording carriers are It is possible to automatically find and record only the carriers one by one,
Recording and reproduction of sub-information can be performed on all information recording carriers in the storage without interrupting recording and reproduction of the information signal.

生の中断が防げるものである。Furthermore, an embodiment may be considered in which another main recording/reproducing means is added to the present embodiment, and in this case, the following effects can be obtained. In other words, while one of the main recording/reproducing means is recording or reproducing, the sub information is read out, the information recording carrier to be taken out next is found, it is attached to the other main recording/reproducing means, and the information recording carrier is recorded or reproduced. Since the start ready state 14... can be maintained, continuous recording or reproduction is possible over a plurality of information recording carriers, that is, there is no need to interrupt recording or reproduction of information signals when replacing information recording carriers. It is preventable.

By recording the information signal with the other main recording/reproducing means and writing the necessary sub-information after recording, all you have to do is give editing instructions and set the necessary information recording carrier in the stocker, and the rest is efficient. It is also possible to have the editor perform editing without human intervention.

実施例１５八 。In the present invention, the number of main recording/reproducing means is one or two, but the number is not limited to these. For example, the number of main recording/reproducing means is dedicated to each information recording medium in all the information recording carriers in the stocker. A configuration may also be adopted in which a reproduction means is provided. Even in this configuration, the effects of the present invention can be obtained. Also, in this case, a means of transportation becomes unnecessary. Embodiment 15 of the present invention so far.

ものであっても良いことはもちろんである。In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the entire information recording carrier is moved to the main recording and reproducing means to perform recording and reproduction on the information recording medium, but it is also possible to have a configuration in which only the information recording medium is taken out and moved. good. Further, although the sub-information recording medium is a non-volatile semiconductor memory, it may be a semiconductor memory made non-volatile by bathoteribassoku, or it is also possible to use a magnetic bubble memory or the like. Furthermore, since the semiconductor memory is small, having a few door angles and a thickness of 1 flF or less, a mounting method of embedding it in the thickness of the information recording medium is also considered. In addition, when the sub-information recording medium is a semiconductor memory, a large number of connection terminals for power, address, and data are required for recording and reproduction by the sub-recording/reproducing means. It is easily possible to reduce the number of terminals by transmitting information in series, or to use a non-contact method such as optical transmission as the transmission method itself. Although the main information recording medium is a disc-shaped optical disc, it is needless to say that it is not limited to this and may be a tape-shaped one.
