Abstract:
A digital video recorder for reproducing a digital image signal at a plurality of reproducing speeds, said recorder comprising:a transducer for recovering a digital signal from a recorded medium, said digital signal having a first data signal representing said digital image signal and a second data signal representing a form of said digital image signal processed for trick play reproduction;means coupled to said transducer for separating said digital signal into said first and said second data signals;means responsive to a selection of one of a plurality of reproducing speeds and at least one of said first and second data signals for generating an image source control signal; and,selecting means coupled to said separating means and responsive to said control signal for selecting between said first and second data signals for coupling to form output image sources;wherein during a transition from a non-reproducing mode to a normal play speed reproducing mode, said second data signal is selected for coupling to form an output image source until normal play speed is achieved whereupon said first data signal is selected for coupling to form an output image source.
