PCM Recorder with pause controlled signal rearranging

摘要

A PCM recorder includes an A/D converter for converting an analog signal to a digital signal, an interleave unit for pseudo-randomizing the digital signal by rearranging on time base, a video tape recorder for recording the pseudo-randomized digital signal on a video tape, and a control circuit for controlling the interleave unit and the video tape recorder in a synchronized manner. Since the video tape recorder and the interleave unit are synchronously controlled, discontinuity of data at the joint of recording can be prevented even if recording is paused and restarted.
