Modulation signal generator for producing original disc of optical disc

摘要

The present invention relates to a modulated signal generator capable of carrying out signal processing at a higher speed or capable of supporting a special format and a new format with ease. A modulation processing storing unit 130 has a modulation processing program required for producing an optical disc master 320 stored therein in advance. Information data recorded in an master optical disc 310 is reproduced by an information reproducing unit 110 and is outputted to a modulation controller 120 . The modulation controller 120 carries out the signal modulation processing onto the reproduced information data in accordance with the signal modulation processing program so as to generate a data stream and stores the data stream in a modulated information storing unit 140 as necessary. The modulation controller 120 sends a data stream generated at that time or the data stream stored in the modulated information storing unit 140 to a modulated signal outputting unit 150 , and the data stream is outputted to a laser beam recorder 200 by the modulated signal outputting unit 150 at a predetermined clock. The present invention can be applied in cases of producing optical discs such as CD, MD, DVD and the like.
