VIDEO/AUDIO SIGNAL RECORDER AND RECORDING METHOD

摘要

A video/audio signal recorder (100) for recording data in a recording medium including a recording device such as a flash memory. The recorder (100) comprises signal processing means (3, 7) for carrying out a predetermined signal processing of an input signal, i.e., at least either a video signal or an audio signal, and medium control means (9) for providing an interface function for writing the data processed by the sing processing means (3, 7) in a recording medium. The medium control means (9) electrically erases data in the recording medium at a predetermined erase time. The erase time is, for example, immediately before the medium control means (9) issues a write command to write data in the recording medium or immediately after the medium control means transfers data to be written in the recording medium (11).
