Fecha de publicación: 19/08/1998 Fuente: Wipo "digitalization" A digital VTR for recording digital video and audio signals in respective predetermined areas on oblique tracks of a magnetic recording tape in a predetermined track format, and replacing from the areas. The VTR includes a data separating means for extracting intra-encoded data in the form of intra-frame or intra-field data from the intra-frame or intra-field encoded, or inter-frame or inter-field encoded digital video signal the intra-frame or intra-field digital video signal and the digital audio signals, contained in the input bit stream. A recording means records the bit stream in areas for the digital video signal, and records the intra-encoded data extracted at the data separating means, in areas for the digital audio signal.
