Recording of an information signal so as to enable editing

摘要

A recording apparatus, such as accommodated in a camcorder housing, is provided with a recording unit (18) for recording a video signal on a removable record carrier (24), such as a magnetic tape accommodated in a cassette (22) which is removable from the apparatus. Further, a storing unit (34) is present for storing a data compressed video signal in a random access memory (38). The random access memory (38) is removable from the apparatus. The apparatus is adapted to simultaneously record the video signal on the removable record carrier (24) and store the video signal in the removable random access memory (38). Further, a timing signal generator unit (6) is present for adding equal timing signals to the corresponding pictures included in the data compressed video signal and in the processed video signal.
