Apparatus for recording a video signal having programs and control data
First Claim
1. A video signal recording apparatus supplied with at least one video signal having vertical blanking intervals and constituting a plurality of programs, and with information data relating to the contents of the respective programs, comprising:
- first time code generating means for generating first time code data including bits in which a material code indicative of an attribute of a respective one of said programs is formed, said attribute being selected from a group consisting of a title and a sponsor of said respective one of said programs;
inserting means receiving said video signal and said first time code data for providing an output signal in which said first time code data are inserted into a predetermined period in at least a selected one of said vertical blanking intervals of said video signal;
second time code generating means for generating second time code data including bits in which stop control data are formed; and
recording means for recording said output signal of said inserting means on a video track of a master recording medium and for recording said second time code data on a longitudinal track of said master recording medium such that said stop control data are positioned on the longitudinal track in a predetermined relation to a location on said video track in which said material code is recorded by the recording means such that, when said stop control data are read during a reproducing operation said attribute is reliably displayed.

Abstract
In a video signal recording apparatus, information about a video commercial program or message (CM) is recorded in the vertical blanking interval (VBI) of the video signal constituting the commercial message so that the information remains with the commercial program or message even during subsequent editing. Video signals representing a plurality of commercial messages and having respective information in the vertical blanking intervals are serially recorded on a master tape while generating stop code data and recording the stop codes in a longitudinal track on the master tape. Further, a video signal reproducing apparatus is described which can extract data from the VBI and longitudinal track of a tape, process the data and automatically terminate the reproduction after reproducing a stop code.
