Abstract: Apparatus for deriving from a motion picture film for transfer to a video recording medium (7, 8) a video signal having increased vertical resolution for display using progressive scanning. In the apparatus, a deriving system derives the video signal from the motion picture film; a flag signal generating circuit generates a flag signal indicating that the video signal is for display using progressive scanning; and a recording system (63) records the video signal and the flag signal in the recording medium (7, 8). In a method of deriving from an interlaced high-definition video signal an interlaced standard-definition video signal having increased vertical resolution, the interlaced high-definition video signal is converted into a progressive high-definition video signal. The number of pixels in the progressive high-definition video signal is reduced to provide a progressive standard-definition video signal, which is converted into the interlaced standard-definition video signal. An apparatus for reproducing a video signal recorded on a recording medium (7, 8) includes a system for reproducing (40) the video signal from the recording medium (7, 8), and a circuit (50) for extracting from the reproduced video signal a flag signal indicating a display scanning mode for the video signal. A display apparatus includes a circuit (43) for receiving a flag signal indicating a display scanning mode for the video signal, and for generating a control signal; and a circuit (56), responsive to the control signal, for displaying the video signal in the display scanning mode.

Abstract: A recording and reproducing method is disclosed. The method uses a reproducing unit
(120) for reproducing one of a plurality of first recording media, such as, so-called
compact discs, which are housed in a first housing section (124a) and in which information
signals are recorded, and a recording unit (130) for recording the information signals
reproduced by the reproducing unit (120) onto one of recordable second recording media,
such as, magneto-optical discs, which are housed in a second housing section (134a) and
each of which has a recording area capable of recording information signals therein and a
management information area having recorded therein management information including
at least table of contents information of the information signals recorded in the recording
area. The method includes the steps of: taking out one of the first recording media from
the first housing section (124a), loading the one first recording medium onto the
reproducing unit (120), and setting the reproducing unit (120) to a reproduction standby
state for the loaded first recording medium; and taking out one of the second recording
media from the second housing section (134a), loading the one second recording medium
onto the recording unit (130), setting the recording unit (130) to a recording standby state
for the loaded second recording medium, and outputting a control signal indicating
completion of preparation for recording. The reproducing unit (120) starts reproducing
the first recording medium on the basis of the control signal indicating completion of
preparation for recording supplied from the recording unit (130) and supplies reproduced
signals to the recording unit (130), while the recording unit (130) records the reproduced
signals supplied thereto onto the second recording medium.

Abstract: A system and method for indexing between video streams in an interactive video delivery system. The interactive video delivery system includes at least one media server which stores video streams having different presentation rates. In one embodiment the system stores a normal play stream and one or more corresponding trick play streams. The trick play video streams are fast forward and/or fast reverse video streams. The system generates index tables or look-up tables between the normal play and trick play video streams which enable indexing between the streams, and uses these look-up tables to switch back and forth between the streams. In creating the index tables, the system first analyzes the normal play stream and creates a normal play time standard based on presentation timestamps from the normal play stream. The system then creates an index table or look-up table for each of the normal play and trick play video streams using the normal play time standard. Each index table includes an array of two-tuples, wherein the two-tuples are the normal play time standard and an index or offset into the respective stream. The index tables enable indexing between the streams. During video delivery, the system uses the respective index tables to switch back and forth between the normal play and trick play video streams.

Abstract: The BER is used as a parameter for evaluating the performance of
an optical transmission system. Performance of optical systems is also
defined by the Q factor, which uniquely determines the BER in the absence
of distortion. The measurements are effected in a point of operation of the
channel which gives a value of interest for the Q factor. To this end, the
optical SNR is lowered by adding noise over the information signal. A
distortion-free Q (Q DF ) and a back-to-back Q (Q BB ) are determined in the
same operating point of the system. The distortion penalty for
transmitter-receiver pair may be determined by comparing Q DF  to Q BB .
The noise loading technique will allow to investigate if equalizing. The
value of OSNRs at the output of a particular system results in equalizing
the noise margin in that systems or not.
