Apparatus for recording and/or reproducing digital information.

摘要

An apparatus for recording digital information comprises recording data generator (16, 36, 39, 42) for producing recording digital information data containing at least one of digital video information data accompanied with first attendant data added thereto and digital audio information data accompanied with second attendant data added thereto, a recording portion (45, 47, 48) operative to record the recording digital information data on a record medium, and a controller operable to set selectively a plurality of recording modes for the recording of the recording digital information data on the record medium carried out by the recording portion. The first and second attendant data contain recording mode data having a code selected to correspond to the recording mode set by the controller. An apparatus for reproducing digital information is operative to reproduce the recording digital information data from the record medium and process there produced recording digital information data, in response to reproduced first and second attendant data, to reproduce video and audio signals.
