Video recording control device

摘要

A video recording control device compares current and previous values indicated by an elapsed broadcast time information (TIS) of a program in an EDS (Extended Data Service) signal superimposed on a received television signal during its vertical blanking period, and controls the recording operation of a video recording apparatus employing the television signal according to the result of comparison. Therefore, the ending time of the program being recorded can be detected by utilizing the TIS of the EDS signal, and thus, even when the broadcast time of the program is extended without notifying in advance, the recording can be continued accordingly.
