Information data recording and reproducing apparatus and methods

摘要

Editing data showing the parts of stock data contained in audio and/or video data obtained as a result of editing is output from an editing device (50) to a control system (10). The control system (10) generates recording region data for reproduction showing the recording regions occupied by the parts of the stock data in the recording medium of a hard disc array (30) in advance based on the received editing data and recording region data showing the recording regions occupied by the stock data having parts to be contained in the edited audio and/or video data in the recording medium of the hard disc array (30). The parts of the stock data are reproduced from the hard disc array (30) based on this recording region data for reproduction, and audio and/or video data having the same content as that of the edited audio and/or video data is reproduced by a reproducing system (40). <IMAGE>
