Patent ID: 8045836

Claim:
A recording device for use with a displaying device operable to display a video comprising a first image and a second image, the displaying device being further operable to display the first image at a first time based on a time stamp t p1 for a time increment and to display the second image at a second time based on a time stamp t p2 for the time increment, said recording device comprising: a video data generating portion operable to detect the first image at a recorded time t 1 for a recorded time increment, to detect the second image at a recorded time t 2 for the recorded time increment and to generate video data corresponding to the first image and the second image; and an encoding portion operable to encode the video data into a bitstream including a time-increment-resolution code portion, a time-increment code portion, a recorded-time-increment-resolution code portion and a recorded-time-increment code portion, the time-increment-resolution code portion being capable of storing data therein representing a resolution of the time increment, the time-increment code portion being capable of storing data therein corresponding to a modulo time base and the time increment, the recorded-time-increment-resolution code portion being capable of storing data therein representing a resolution of the recorded time increment and the recorded-time-increment code portion being capable of storing data therein corresponding to a recorded modulo time base and the recorded time increment.
