Abstract
This invention is directed to a video signal transmitting/receiving apparatus adapted for converting a series of video signals into picture data in predetermined block units to send out it to a transmission path in the asynchronous transfer mode to thereby transmit a first video material formed by the series of video signals to transmission object, and adapted for receiving picture data inputted in the predetermined block units by the asynchronous transfer mode through the transmission path to convert it into a series of video signals to thereby receive a second video material formed by the series of video signals transmitted from transmission object. In this apparatus, an approach is employed to once record a series of digital video signals onto the prescribed video signal recording medium thereafter to intermittently reproduce those digital video signals to send out them to the transmission path of the asynchronous transfer mode, or an approach is employed to record a series of data received from the transmission path of the asynchronous transfer mode onto the recording medium to output those data, thus allowing digital video signals of the synchronous transfer system to undergo transmission by way of the transmission path of the asynchronous transfer mode such as B-ISDN, etc. Thus, video materials are caused to undergo transmission/reception through the transmission path of this kind to have ability of improving the working efficiency.
