Abstract:
1. An apparatus for recording a moving image, the apparatus comprising: a first synchronization signal generator which generates a first synchronization signal having a variable frame rate; a second synchronization signal generator which generates a second synchronization signal having a fixed frame rate; a timing detector which detects frame timing of the first synchronization signal that is generated to be the same as or closest to the second synchronization signal; an image processor which image-processes raw image data that is sequentially output from an imaging device in one frame unit at a first frame rate according to the first synchronization signal so as to be reproducible image data and generating processing-completed image data in one frame unit at a second frame rate, according to the second synchronization signal; an audio signal processor which generates audio data in one frame unit at the second frame rate; a frame number obtaining unit which calculates the number of frames that exist between frames containing audio data, within frame timing that is detected by the timing detector; and a medium recording unit which sequentially records the raw image data in one frame unit on a recording medium at the first frame rate and recording the processing-completed image data, the audio data, and the number of frames in one frame unit within the frame timing that is detected by the timing detector, on the recording medium.
