Recording and reproducing system for digital video tape recorder for recording video and aural signals on a common tape track
First Claim
1. A recording and reproducing system for a digital video tape recorder comprising:
- first analog/digital signals converter for converting composite image analog signals into digital component signals;
luminance/color signal separator which separates digital signals generated from said first analog/digital signal converter into luminance signals and color signals;
first and second image data compressors for condensing transmission amounts of both luminance signals and color signals generated from said luminance/color signal separator at the respective rates;
first and second means for processing stereo aural signals and the transmitted luminance and color signals thus generating composite signals to be recorded on a same track of a video tape, said first and second processing means being connected to said first and second data compressors respectively;
means for applying the composite signal to a rotating head drum for recordation on a video tape;
means for reproducing the recorded stereo aural and image luminance and color signals from said video tape and converting the reproduced signals into electrical signals;
means for separating the aural signals from the image luminance and color signals;
first and second image data decompressors for extending transmission quantities of the luminance and color image signals at predetermined rates; and
a luminance/color synthesizer for combining luminance and color signals generated from said first and second data decompressors.

Abstract
A recording and reproducing system for a digital VTR for home use, to record video and aural signals onto the same track of tape, by adding stereo aural signals to digital video component signals, and to reproduce digital component signals and stereo aural signals recorded on the same track of the tape by way of separation. The system includes an aural signal adder adding respective stereo aural signals that were converted to digital signals through A/D converters onto data which are transmitted from image encoder under compression, and error correction encoders generating data transmitted from the aural signal encoders by adding error correction bits, and an aural signal separator separating stereo aural data from data generated from error correction decoder, and a D/A converter for converting aural signal separator signals into analog signals. Because the system records both image signal and aural signal onto the same track and processes them by using digital bits, it provides superior playback image quality as well as no deteriorations of either image or aural qualities upon playback.
