Claims
- 1. A reproducing apparatus for reproducing data including first data and second data from a tape-shaped recording medium, the first data having been recorded in a first area of the tape-shaped recording medium transported in a first transporting direction by a rotary head rotating in a first rotation direction and the second data having been recorded in a second area of the tape-shaped recording medium transported in a second transporting direction opposite to the first transporting direction by a rotary head rotating in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction, said apparatus comprising:
- (a) reproducing means having a rotary head and transporting means for transporting the tape-shaped recording medium, said reproducing means reproducing both the first and second data from the tape-shaped recording medium transported by said transporting means in the first transporting direction by the rotary head rotating in the first rotation direction;
- (b) memory means for storing the first and second data reproduced by said reproducing means;
- (c) reading means for reading the first and second data from said memory means and outputting the first and second data; and
- (d) control means for controlling an operation of said reading means so as to output the first data in a same order as an order of the first data to be stored in said memory means and to output the second data in an opposite order to an order of the second data to be stored in said memory means.
- 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first and second data include image data.
- 3. An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said first and second data include subcode data for searching the image data in the first and second data.
- 4. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said reproducing means includes an equalizer for equalizing the first and second data reproduced from the recording medium, said memory means storing the first and second data equalized by said equalizer to said memory means.
- 5. A reproducing apparatus for reproducing data including first data and second data from a recording medium, the first data having been recorded in a first area of the recording medium transported in a first transporting direction by reproducing element scanning in a first scanning direction and the second data have been recorded in a second area of the recording medium transported in a second transporting direction opposite to the first transporting direction by a scanning element scanning in a second rotation direction opposite to the first scanning direction, said apparatus comprising:
- (a) reproducing means having a reproducing element and transporting means for transporting the recording medium, said reproducing means reproducing both the first and second data from the recording medium transported by said transporting means in the first transporting direction by the reproducing element scanning in the first direction;
- (b) memory means for storing the first and second data reproduced by said reproducing means;
- (c) reading means for reading the first and second data from said memory means and outputting the first and second data; and
- (d) control means for controlling an operation of said reading means so as to output the first data in a same order as an order of the first data to be stored in said memory means and to output the second data in an opposite order to an order of the second data to be stored in said memory means.
