Information Recording/Reproducing Apparatus
First Claim
1. An information recording/reproducing apparatus adapted to a plurality of recording media and to record and/or reproduce data in compliance with a plurality of standards, comprising:
- a compression/extension module which compresses and extends an information signal in compression methods compliant with the plurality of standards;
a format controlling module which generates formats compliant with the plurality of standards for the information signal; and
a recording/reproducing module which records/reproduces the processed data into/from the recoding media,wherein the compression/extension module includes a common compression/extension module which performs a process of a compression method common in the plurality of standards, andthe format controlling module includes a common format generating module which performs a formatting process common in the plurality of standards.

Abstract
There are provided an information recording/reproducing apparatus and a video camera, both compliant with plural standards and excellent in usability, within an advantageously earlier stage by simplifying a circuit configuration and reducing the development steps and time period. A compression/extension module includes a common compression/extension module which performs a process of a compression method common in plural standards. For example, the common compression/extension module common between the AVCHD standard and the BD standard performs a process of the H.264 compression method for a video signal, and performs a process of the Dolby Digital compression method for an audio signal. A format controlling module includes a common format generating module which performs a formatting process common in plural standards. For example, the common format generating module common between the AVCHD standard and the BD standard generates a format including data structures and directories, in compliance with the BDMV subset.

11. A video camera apparatus which records shot video into a plurality of recording media, in compliance with a plurality of standards, comprising:
-
an imaging module which shoots a subject and obtains a video signal and an audio signal; a compression/extension module which compresses and extends the video and audio signals in compression methods compliant with the plurality of standards; a format controlling module which generates formats compliant with the plurality of standards for the video and audio signals; a recording/reproducing module which records/reproduces the processed data into/from the recoding media including a BD, a DVD, an HDD, and an SD card; and a system controlling module which controls an operation of each block, wherein the compression/extension module includes a common compression/extension module common between the AVCHD standard and the BD standard which performs a process of the H.264 compression method for the video signal and performs a process of the Dolby Digital compression method for the audio signal, and the format controlling module includes a common format generating module common between the AVCHD standard and the BD standard which generates a format including data structures and directories, in compliance with the BDMV subset. - View Dependent Claims (12)
