Claims
- 1. A video signal recording apparatus comprising:
- (a) recording means for recording a signal while forming a multiplicity of tracks on a recording medium, the multiplicity of tracks each having a first area and a second area which are separated from each other;
- (b) moving-image signal forming means for forming an analog moving-image signal to be recorded in the first area;
- (c) still-image signal forming means for forming a digital still-image signal to be recorded in the second area; and
- (d) switching means for simultaneously controlling said moving-image signal forming means, said still-image signal forming means and said recording means to switch said apparatus between a plurality of modes;
- the plurality of modes including:
- a first mode in which the analog moving-image signal is recorded in the first area; and
- a second mode in which the analog moving-image signal is not recorded but an analog still-image signal for one picture is automatically recorded in the first area a plurality of times while the digital still-image signal is recorded in the second area.
- 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first mode includes a first sub-mode in which the digital still-image signal is not recorded in the second area and a second sub-mode in which the digital still-image signal is recorded in the second area.
- 3. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the analog still-image signal represents an image identical to an image represented by the digital still-image signal.
- 4. An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the analog still-image is automatically recorded a plurality of times in the first areas of tracks having the second areas in which the digital still-image signal is recorded once.
- 5. An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said recording means records the analog moving-image signal for one picture in one track, and the digital still-image signal for one picture in n tracks (n is an integer not less than 2), the analog still-image signal being repeatedly recorded by n times in the second mode.
- 6. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the analog still-image signal represents an image independent of an image represented by the digital still-image signal.
- 7. An apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the analog still-image signal is automatically recorded a plurality of times in the first areas of tracks having the second areas in which the digital still-image signal is recorded once.
- 8. An apparatus according to claim 6, wherein said recording means records the analog moving-image signal for one picture in one track, and the digital still-image signal for one picture in n tracks (n is an integer not less than 2), the analog still-image signal being repeatedly recorded by n times in the second mode.
- 9. An apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the analog still image signal represents a single-color image.
- 10. A video signal recording apparatus, comprising:
- (a) first recording means for recording a moving-image signal in first areas respectively provided in a multiplicity of tracks on a recording medium;
- (b) second recording means for recording a digital still-image signal in second areas which are respectively separated from the first areas in the multiplicity of tracks; and
- (c) controlling means for simultaneously controlling said first recording means and said second recording means;
- said controlling means causing an analog still-image signal for one picture to be automatically recorded a plurality of times instead of the moving-image signal on the first areas correspondingly located the second areas on which the digital still-image signal is recorded once.
- 11. An apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said controlling means causes said first recording means to automatically record the analog still-image signal a plurality of times, representative of an image identical to an image represented by the digital still-image signal, in the first areas while said second recording means is recording the digital still-image signal in the second areas.
- 12. An apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said controlling means causes said first recording means to automatically record the analog still-image signal a plurality of times, representative of a single-color image, in the first areas while said second recording means is recording the digital still-image signal in the second areas.
- 13. A video signal recording apparatus, comprising:
- (a) first recording means for recording a moving image signal in first areas respectively provided in a multiplicity of tracks on a recording medium;
- (b) second recording means for recording a digital still-image signal in second areas which are respectively separated from the first areas in the multiplicity of tracks; and
- (c) controlling means for simultaneously controlling said first and second recording means, said controlling means causing said first recording means to automatically record an analog still-image signal a plurality of times instead of the moving-image signal in the first areas during a predetermined time duration in synchronism with said second recording means recording the digital still-image signal.
- 14. An apparatus according to claim 13, wherein said first recording means automatically records the analog still-image signal for one picture in one track and said second recording means records the digital still-image signal for one picture in n tracks (n is an integer not less than 2).
