Digital camcorder apparatus with mpeg-2-compatible video compression

摘要

A camcorder comprises a video camera responsive to light images for supplying video signals on a frame by frame basis; circuitry responsive to the video signals supplied by the video camera for generating segments of a transport stream, which segments are susceptible to decoding by an MPEG-2 decoding apparatus; and a recorder for electromagnetically recording the transport stream as magnetic variations along the surface of a magnetic recording medium.
