Abstract

It is provided a recorder apparatus in which a user can use simply and efficiently plural functions which can be performed simultaneously. According to an embodiment of the invention, a recorder apparatus has a display, an input section for a video being inputted, a random access recording medium for recording the video, an output section for outputting the video recorded in the recording medium, a multitask control section, a display control section and a reception section for receiving an specification of the tab and the direction of the video for a processing target for the selected function. The multitask control section performs plural functions in parallel simultaneously which plural functions includes a function for recording the inputted video in the recording medium. The display control section displays tabs assigned to the plural functions respectively and processing situation of the function selected by specifying the tab on the display.
