Portable storage device for recording and playing back data

Abstract

The present invention provides a device for recording and playing back audio/video signals. A portable storage device () has mounted thereon a portable storage device connector () of a first type adapted to transfer audio/video signals of a first type (). A first audio/video system () has a first audio/video system connector () of the first type for directly connecting to the portable storage device connector () to exchange audio/video signals of the first type () between the portable storage device () and the first audio/video system () to record and playback audio/video signals of the first type (). A second audio/video system () receives audio/signals of a second type (). An interface section () has an interface section connector () of the first type for directly connecting to the portable storage device (). The interface section () converts between the audio/video signals of the first () and second type (), and exchanges the signals of the first and second type between the first audio/video system () and the second audio/video system () through the interface section connector () of the first type and a signal connection () between the interface section () and the second audio/video system ().
