摘要

Broadcast signals carrying video and audio data are transmitted after encoding and compression process at a broadcast station and then stored temporarily in a hard disk recorder/player in a broadcast recording apparatus. The broadcast signal includes a row of video and audio packets having no empty spaces for synchronization with the actual program playback speed. The playback of a program is controlled with a timing data which is carried in each of the video and audio packets. Accordingly, the broadcast signals of the program transmitted at a speed faster than the actual program playback speed are temporarily stored and when desired, can be played back at any time.
