Abstract:
1. A recording/reproducing apparatus comprising: a synchronization signal generating part configured to output a frame synchronization signal defining a period of a video frame; a timer part configured to measure time including during a period in which a main power supply is being turned off and to output measured time information; a time code production part configured to generate a video time code on the basis of the frame synchronization signal; a time code storage processing part configured to store a video time code value at the time the main power supply is being turned off and the time information output from the timer part at the time the main power supply is turned off; and a time code reconstruction processing part configured to reconstruct the video time code, when the main power supply is turned on, by stepping the video time code value stored by the time code storage processing part by an amount corresponding to the time information stored by the time code storage processing part and the time information output at the time of turning on the main power supply.
