Video recording/reproducing apparatus and method of editing video tape

摘要

A video recording/reproducing apparatus comprises a variable delay circuit for delaying an input video signal which is to be newly recorded on a recording medium and a delay controller for controlling a delay provided by this variable delay circuit. At the time of edit, the delay controller controls the delay so that the phase of a video signal reproduced from a position immediately before an edit entrance point of the recording medium coincides with the phase of an input video signal delayed by the delay circuit.
