A two-picture video recording/reproducing apparatus and method automatically edits & records a video signal from an 8 mm video recorder/reproducer onto a VHS video recorder/reproducer, monitors the recording state on a sub-picture, and records an externally input signal by the video recorder/reproducer to monitor it on the sub-picture while watching a TV broadcast signal on a main picture. For this, the apparatus has a data input unit for receiving a signal by a user's key manipulation to supply corresponding data, first and second video recorders/reproducers for loading a tape, a main picture selector for selecting any one of a signal from the IF processor, an externally input signal via an input terminal, and video signals from the video recorders/reproducers to supply a selected signal as a main picture video signal, a sub-picture selector for selecting any one of the signal from the IF processor, the externally input signal, and the video signals from the video recorders/reproducers to supply a selected signal as a sub-picture video signal, an external input selector for selecting the signal from the IF processor or the externally input signal to supply a selected signal as a record video signal of the video recorders/reproducers, a system controller for receiving data from the data input unit to supply corresponding control signals to the main picture, sub-picture and external input selectors and supplying operational mode control signals to control the video recorders/reproducers, a sub-picture controller for receiving to mix the video signals of the main picture and sub-picture selected by the main picture and sub-picture selectors, and a receiver for processing the mixed video signal as of the main picture and sub-picture to display the processed signal. |
