Abstract:
1. An image recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising: a tuner configured to tune a live signal; a first decoder configured to decode the live signal outputted from the tuner; a second decoder configured to decode a time shift signal, wherein the time shift signal is a time delayed signal of the live signal outputted from the tuner; a recording/storing unit configured to record and store the time shift signal; a signal processing unit configured to process the decoded live signal outputted from the first decoder and the decoded time shift signal outputted from the second decoder; and a display unit configured to wherein, in the first display mode, the display unit is controlled to simultaneously display the processed live signal and the processed time shift signal on a main screen and a sub-screen of the main screen, respectively, wherein, in the second display mode, the display unit is controlled to simultaneously display the processed time shift signal and the processed live signal on the main screen and the sub-screen of the main screen, respectively, wherein the display unit is controlled to display a progress status bar indicating the current reproducing position of the time shift signal compared to the reproducing position of the live signal, wherein the recording/storing unit is configured to record and store a reproducing end position of the time shift signal when the display unit switches from the second display mode to the first display mode, and wherein the signal processing unit is configured to process the decoded time shift signal and decoded live signal to display the time shift signal from the recorded reproducing end position when the display unit again switches from the first display mode to the second display mode.
