It aims to make it possible to simultaneously record and reproduce a video signal and improve convenience of operation. A video recording/reproducing apparatus capable of recording an image into a recording medium and reproducing the image from the recording medium, comprising: a recording means for recording video signals and identifying signals indicating the content of the video signals into a recording medium; a displaying means for reading the identifying signals recorded in the recording medium (), rearranging the read identifying signals, and displaying the identifying signals in the order of the rearrangement; and a reproducing means for sequentially reproducing the video signals from the recording medium () in the order of the rearrangement, in which whether there exists a video signal under recording in the recording medium () is checked and at completion of the recording of the video signal, video signals to be reproduced are sequentially reproduced.

Remote control device for recording/reproducing apparatus and video signal recording/reproducing apparatus

A recording and reproducing apparatus is disclosed which comprises: an input element supplied with video signals; a recording element for recording the video signals input through the input element onto a storage medium; a reproducing element for reproducing the video signals from the storage medium; a processing element for generating display-ready video signals on the basis of video monitor image signals supplied by the input element and/or on the basis of the reproduced video signals furnished by the reproducing element; and a controlling element for selectively activating, by a single operation of a user, any one of a recording monitor image, a dual-screen display image made of a recording monitor image and a playback image, and a playback image alone.

Recording and reproducing apparatus and method

The object of the present invention is to provide an image display apparatus suited to display a video program or the like for advertisement purposes. The image display apparatus comprises a storage medium installation section ( ), a memory section ( ) storing image data read out from a storage medium ( ) installed into the storage medium installation section ( ), a display section ( ) displaying the image data stored in the memory section ( ) and a control section ( ) for repeatedly executing display of the image data stored in the memory section ( ) at the display section ( ).

Image display apparatus for efficiently implementing the redundant display of images

An infrared ray generating apparatus includes a control device for converting a command signal of a first format into a command signal of a second format, a switch for selecting an input command signal or the command signal of the second format converted by the control means, and an infrared ray generating device for causing the switch device to select the command signal of the second format converted by the control device when the input command signal is not in accord with the second format and to select the input command signal when the input command signal is in accord with the second format and for generating an infrared ray signal corresponding to the command signal that is output from the switch.
