Abstract
A data recording and/or reproducing apparatus for recording, reproducing or editing of video and audio data includes an input processing unit, having an input processing control portion for controlling data inputting to a recording medium, an output processing control portion for controlling data outputting processing for the recording medium and a main controller for comprehensively controlling the input processing unit and the output processing unit. By the input processing controlling portion and the output processing controlling portion, the input processing unit and the output processing unit can be operated independently of each other. On the other hand, the main controller is able to control the input processing controlling portion and the output processing controlling portion so that these two portions will execute a concerted operation. In this manner, the data recording and/or reproducing apparatus can record and/or reproduce data on or from a non-linear-accessible recording medium while the data recording and/or reproducing apparatus can be built into a routine linear editing system to execute an operation in no way inferior to that of a VTR equipment.
