KAMERA-INTEGRIERTE VIDEOAUFZEICHNUNG UND WIEDERGABEVORRICHTUNG UND AUFZEICHNUNGSSTEUERVERFAHREN DAFÜR

摘要

A video recording/reproducing apparatus combined with a camera adapted to control a target information amount according to the nature and properties of an animated image to be photographed, and a recording control method for the same are provided. A target information amount control microcomputer ( 7 ) controls an encoding and compressing apparatus ( 10 ) by a target bit rate to carry out predetermined compressive encoding on the animated image data from a filter computing unit ( 4 ) so as to create an encoded bit stream. The filter computing unit ( 4 ) is given a filter coefficient to convert the animated image data into data of a resolution that is suited for encoding.
