Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to an automatic editing device.

Generally, when a playback device plays back songs, the length of time between songs is not uniform even when the songs are played back in the order in which they were recorded, and some songs have almost no time between songs. Furthermore, with random access, the time required to search and move from one designated song to the next is added, so the time between songs becomes more diverse.

The present invention is designed to automatically make the inter-track time constant when played back when information with such diversified inter-track times is used as a signal source and is recorded on another recording device. This will be explained in detail below according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The figure shows one embodiment of the present invention, and on the signal source side,
A DAD player and a disk containing songs,
A case where a tape recorder is used on the recording side will be explained. Note that the automatic editing device in this case will be explained as being placed inside the DAD player that is the signal source. Therefore, it is assumed that the tape recorder on the recording side has a pause mechanism that can be controlled externally. In addition to this case, there are also cases where the above device is placed on the recording side and the signal source side has an externally controllable pause mechanism, and cases where the above device is placed independently and the signal source side is used. It is conceivable to use a device that has externally controllable pause mechanisms on both the side and the recording side.

The elapsed time between songs including the search time on the current disk is T, and the desired inter-song time on the tape is t.
Let Δt be the run preparation time from when the tape recorder is released from its pause until the tape starts running. Further, the remaining time until the start of the next song is recorded moment by moment on the disc in the inter-music portion, and this remaining time is assumed to be P. The desired inter-song time t and travel preparation time Δt are set variable or fixed in the time setting section 1. The inter-song time measuring section 2, which measures the inter-song time T during disc playback by the player 3, starts measuring the elapsed time immediately after detecting the inter-song section of the disc. The detection unit 5 detects the value of the above-mentioned remaining time P recorded on the disc. These set t
and T and P measured for Δt are compared to the comparator 4.
Depending on the result, the switch 7 is operated, and the pause signal generated by the pause signal generator 6 is transmitted to A: the player pause mechanism 8, C: the tape recorder pause mechanism, or B: 8 and 9. Switch to three types: don't tell anyone.

The operation of the above configuration will be explained below. Assume that the changeover switch 7 is now in position B, and as a result, the player is in the playback state, and the playback signal is being recorded on the tape recorder. When the player starts playing the inter-track part in this state, measurement of T and P starts immediately, and the measurement results are sent to the comparison section 4.
is input. Initially, the elapsed time T between songs is small, so T<t-.DELTA.t, and the remaining time P between songs on the disc is large, so P>.DELTA.t. In this case, the changeover switch 7 remains at B.

Next, the playback of the inter-track portion on the disc progresses and T
Consider the case where P=Δt with <t−Δt. In this case, since the inter-track time on the disc is shorter than the desired inter-track time t on the tape, the changeover switch 7 is changed to position A, and the player pause mechanism 8 is connected to the pause signal generator 6. A pause signal is transmitted to put the player in a pause state. The comparison section then moves on to comparing only T and t-Δt, and if T<t-Δt, the changeover switch 7 remains in position A and the player continues in the pause state, and when T=t-Δt, 7 The changeover switch returns to position B again, and the player's pause state is released. Then, the disc starts playing the inter-track part, and after approximately Δt time has elapsed, the beginning of the next track is reached. Therefore, when the elapsed time T between songs reaches t-.DELTA.t, the pause of the disk is released, and when the time .DELTA.t has elapsed, the beginning of the next song is reached. In this way, even though the inter-track time recorded on the disk is shorter than the desired inter-track time t on the tape, by pausing the player, the inter-track time t on the tape is
The time between songs is created.

Next, unlike the case described above, consider the case where T=t-Δt before P≦Δt. In this case, since the inter-track time on the disk is longer than the inter-track time t on the tape, the changeover switch 7 is changed to position C, and the pause mechanism 6 is sent to the tape recorder pause mechanism 9. , and put the tape recorder in a pause state. After that, the comparison section moves on to comparing only P and Δt, and if P>Δt, the changeover switch 7 remains in the C position and the tape recorder continues to pause, and when P=Δt, the changeover switch 7 returns to the B position. The tape recorder returns to its position and the pause state of the tape recorder is released. In this way, even though the inter-musical time on the disk is longer than the inter-musical time on the tape, an inter-musical time of t is created on the tape by pausing the tape recorder.

As is clear from the above, the present invention compares the set inter-track time on the tape with the actual inter-track time on the disk, and depending on the result, pauses the player or pauses the tape recorder. By making a decision as to whether or not to perform the program and automatically performing control, it is possible to easily maintain the inter-track time on the tape at the set time.
