DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REPRODUCING IMAGE AND VOICE

摘要

A device and a method capable of automatically and continuously reproducing, in synchronization with images, image data and voice data captured by digital still cameras and digital video cameras, by allowing users to freely and easily combine the data. At least one of data that record image signals, data that record voice signals and data that multiply record image signals and voice signals, and reproduction information data that describe information for reproducing at least one of data that record image signals, data that record voice signals and data that multiply record image signals and voice signals or proper combinations of them, are retained in a storage means. Users can describe, in the reproduction information data, image data, voice data, image/voice multiple data in freely and easily combined forms, and edit them. The CPU reads image data and voice data from the storage means based on the reproduction information data, decodes them, and has the data format converted if necessary, and uses a synchronization control means to synchronize images with voices for reproducing.
