Abstract:
A recording/reproducing apparatus for dispersedly recording one-frame data on a plurality of tracks, the recording/reproducing apparatus comprising:a trans-codec for format converting received digital data into sync blocks each of which has a predetermined size and converting the sync blocks into a format possessed by the received digital data; error correction means for interleaving data of the sync blocks allocated on different tracks in each frame using the sync blocks supplied from the trans-codec and performing frame error correction coding with respect to the interleaved data, and for error correction decoding and deinterleaving the frame error correction coded data; an error correction codec for performing inner code/outer code error correction coding with respect to the frame error correction coded data and performing inner code/outer code error correction decoding with respect to the inner code/outer code error correction coded data; and a recording/reproduction unit for recording the data supplied from the error correction codec on a recording medium and supplying the data recorded on the recording medium to the error correction codec.
