A two-picture video recording/reproducing apparatus and method automatically edits & records a video signal from an 8 mm video recorder/reproducer onto a VHS video recorder/reproducer, monitors the recording state on a sub-picture, and records an externally input signal by the video recorder/reproducer to monitor it on the sub-picture while watching a TV broadcast signal on a main picture. For this, the apparatus has a data input unit for receiving a signal by a user's key manipulation to supply corresponding data, first and second video recorders/reproducers for loading a tape, a main picture selector for selecting any one of a signal from the IF processor, an externally input signal via an input terminal, and video signals from the video recorders/reproducers to supply a selected signal as a main picture video signal, a sub-picture selector for selecting any one of the signal from the IF processor, the externally input signal, and the video signals from the video recorders/reproducers to supply a selected signal as a sub-picture video signal, an external input selector for selecting the signal from the IF processor or the externally input signal to supply a selected signal as a record video signal of the video recorders/reproducers, a system controller for receiving data from the data input unit to supply corresponding control signals to the main picture, sub-picture and external input selectors and supplying operational mode control signals to control the video recorders/reproducers, a sub-picture controller for receiving to mix the video signals of the main picture and sub-picture selected by the main picture and sub-picture selectors, and a receiver for processing the mixed video signal as of the main picture and sub-picture to display the processed signal.

Two picture video recording/reproducing apparatus and a method therefor

This disclosure depicts a circuit for protecting eyesight from the screen of a TV set. A infrared transmitter is provided on a side of the front of the TV set so that pulse signals therefrom are received on a receiving-amplifying portion for remote control already installed in the TV set after reflecting upon a viewer within a predetermined distance from the TV screen. A monostable multivibrator has an input for receiving pulse output signals from the remote control receiving-amplifying portion in response to reflected pulse signals applied thereto and also has an output. A delay circuit portion has an input operatively connected to output of the monostable circuit portion and also has an output, producing the level signals on the ouput thereof when higher level signals are applied on its input over a predetermined time and otherwise producing lower level signals. A video amplifier driving circuit portion for controlling the 'ON' and 'OFF' of an video amplifier has an input operatively connected to the output of the delay circuit portion and also has an output selectively disabling the video amplifier in response to the occurrence of reflected pulse signals for a predetermined period of time.
