group 15 of one unit amount being constructed. The still picture video and audio information track group 15 of one unit amount i5 continuously recoraed on the video disc 11 along the serial ~piral-shape tracks with addres~
codes sequentially atta~hed thereto ~rom, for example, the ~nslde of the serial track~.
~ urning back to Fig. 2, upon playback, when a desired address signal Sl is specifiea and ~nputtea by a keyboard 16, a video head 17 i~ con~rolled in it~ adaress position relative to the radial dirsction of the video disc 11 by an access con~rol apparatu~ 18 so that the viaeo head 17 is dri~en to sequentially trace the black bur~t tracks 14A ~0 14Dr the audio signal tracks 13A to 13~ and the 25 video tracks 12A to 12C corresponding to the still picture video and audio information track ~roup 15 corre~pondin~
to the specif ~ ed address .
The nun~er of tracks in the audio signal tracls interval 13 i8 selected to correspond to each of ~he still 30 p~ctures because ~he amount of audi o informatlon depends on cach ~tiil picture. As a result, it is possi~le to sequentially change the number of the audio signal track~
13A to 13Y of the still picture video and audio information track group 15 of each unit serially formed along the spiral-shape track~.
~ en the video head 17 reiaches the positivn to trace the c~ntral track 12B of the ~hree still picture videQ
track3 12A to 12C, ~he video h~ad 17 is controlled in position to repea~edly trace the central track 12B by the acce~s control app~ratus 18 to which a still command signal S2 is supplied.
In thi~ embodiment of Fig. 2, the video disc 11 is driven to rotate a~ speed of 30 r.p.s by a drive motor 19 and the video head 17 is formed of an optical head.
In the still picture video and audio ~nformation track group 15 of one unit amount of the video disc 11, there is recorded a still picture video and audio signal S0 of a televi~ion video signal system as sho~n in Fig. 4.
This still pic~ura video and audio signal S0 is reproduced by the video head 17, supplied through a playback ampli~ying circuit 21 and a frequency d~modulating circuit 22 and then developed a~ a still picture video and audio reproduced siqnal S3.
In Fig. 4 J first and second field ~ignal portions Fl and F2 are reproduced from each one circular track. ~hen ~le ~ideo head 17 ~race~ the black burst tracks 14A to 14D (see Fig,. 3~, a black hurst signal interval Tl formed of the horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals and the burst 3ignal continues 4 frames. Thereafter, when the video head 17 traces the audio signal tracks 13~ to 13Y
~532~
(see Fig. 3), an audio data interval T2 continues 32 fram~s at the maximum. After that, when the video head 17 trace~
the ~till picture video tra~ks 12A to 12C (~e~ Fig. 3), a still picture video signal in~rval T3 continue~ 3 frames.
Thu~, when the video ~ignal in1:erval T3 i8 enaed, the playback of a still picture vicleo and audlo signal ~nterval ~A of one unit concerning the above ~till picture i8 ended.
The video signal o~ 2 field amounts with the ~tandard television signal forma~ i~ recorded on each ~rame interval of the still picture video ~ignal interval ~3 and ~he ~ontents of the still picture thereof are made e~ual to each o~her.
On the contrary 9 in each frame period of the audio data interval T2, a~ ~hown ~.n Fig. 5, a header mark signa~
HD representing the beg~nning o~ the audlo data can ba inserte~ into the 21~t horizontal synchronizing interva~
follc~ing th~ vertical synchronizing ~ignal in the first field interval Flr while a trailer mark ~ignal TL represent-ing the end of the audio data can b~ in~er ed into the262nd horizon~al synchroniziny ~nterval just before the beginning of the vertical ~ynchronizing ~ignal of the next fiela in the second field ~nterval F2. ~nd, an audio data signal AT the t~me axis or ti~e base of which i~
~ompre~sed as shown in Fig~ ~ can be inserted into the remaining horizontal synchronizing s~gnal interval~ o~ the first and ~econd fields Fl and ~2. ~wever~ in practice, as ~hown in F'ig. 4, in ~he audio data interval T2, the header mark ~ignal HD is insert2d into only the fixst frame and the trailer mark ~ignal TL i~ inserted into only the ~5~ 2~ 8 last 32nd fra~e, thu~ r~pre~enting ~hat ~he interval into which the audio data i~ inserted i8 fxom the 1st frame to the 32nd frame (at the maximum).
The audio data æignal AT .in the audio data interval T2 cons~ts of, as shown in Fig. 6~ a horizon~al ~ynchro-~izing ~ignal ~, a color burst ~lgnal CB and an ef~ectiv~
audio data DT. A referenca si~gnal ID of ~ine waveform ha~ng one cycle of 2 bit widths and changing around the 1/2 amplitude po~ition i~ inserted into the beginning of . 10 the effective audio dat~ DT so that upon reproducing the e~ective audio data DT, when ~ha re~ere~ce ~ignal ID
and the audio data DT are sliced with the 1/2 amplitude level, a reference logic slgnal can be reproduced ~o ha~e a duty ratio of 50~ by the referen~e signal ID, a reference bit wid~h and a logic level which i~ alternately changed tD ~lu or "on. Thuæ, the digital valua of ~he effective audio da~a DT c~n be repx~duced without error by adju~ting the amplitude of the effecti~e audio data DT ~o as to make ~he w~vefor~ of the reference lo~ic s~gnal a predeter mined one.
The effectlve audio data DT i8 ~eleCtea X0 as to have a capacity of 15 bytes (120 bits) at avery 1~ interval, while the r~ference s~gnal ID i~ selected 80 a~ to have a capacity of 1 byte (~ bit8) 80 that as ~hown ~n ~g. 7, the data format of the aud~.o data AT of one frams i8 provided at ~ts 21~t E~ (horizon~al ~nterval) wi~h tha data of the header mark s~gnal HD of 15 byt~s and in it~
interval o~ 240H ranging ~ro~ 22nd H to 261st H with the effective andLio data DT of 15 byte~ each ~accordingly, 30 15 x 240 ~ 3600 byte~) during the fir~t f~ eld Fl~ Also during the ~econd field F2, the above data fo~mat of ~he audio data AT of one frame i8 pro~ided in it~ ~40H
interval ranging from 22nd H to 261st ~ with ~he effective ~udio data DT of 15 byte~ each (accordingly, 15 x 240 3 3600 byte.c~ and at it~ 262nd H with the data of the trailer mark signal TL of 15 bytes. Thu~ the audio data of one frame ha~ ~he data capac~ity ~f 360Q x 2 a 7 . 2 R byte~.
Since the audio data interval T2 (~ee Fig~ 4) consists of 32 frames, the whole capacity of the audio data signal AT in ~he audio data intarval T2 becomes 7~2 x 30 - 230.4 R ~ytes as shown in Fi~. 8.
Accordingly, if the formats of data ln thQ audio data interval T2 are con~tructed a~ 3h~wn in Fi~s. 6 to 8, the aud~v ~ignal of about 1.3 sec can be repxoduced for the ~till picture of one ~rame.
In th~ embodiment, a control program data CP of, for example, 3456 byte~ is ~nserted into the fir~t frame of ~he audio data interval T2 as shown ln Fig. 8 and ~hi~
data CP is u3~d to control the proce~ operation of ~he ~0 audio data in ~he playback circuit.
In addi~lon to ~he above arrangement, a~ shown in Fig. 8, a u~able track number indication inter~al UT of a predetermined capacity iB inserted into the ~eginning of each frame of the effective audio data DT whereby a 2~ track number data representing the number of track~ (of the video di~c 11) along which the audio si~nal ~orre-~ponding to the ~till picture i~ re~orded can be inserted thereinto. In thi~ embodim~nt~ the capacity of the usable ~rack number indication interval U~ i~ selected to be 32 bytes.

In thi8 indication in~erval UT, a~ shown in Fig. 9, track nu~bar data TD ~ to "32n) u~ed to record byte by byte the audio ~ignal track interval 13 i3 re~pectively recorded in the form o~ the binary coded decimal number.
S In thl 8 embodiment, the number of the tra~ks to be u~ed can be selected to be U32" at 1~2 maximum. Thus it i~
possible to record ~he audio information of 1.3 x 32 -41.6 3econds at ~he maximum. In addition, ~ince the same track number data T~ o~ one by~ iQ r~peat~dly recorded up to 32 bites, the repeatedly recorded data can be read upon playback 8~ that the error of the repeatealy rec~raed data can ~e ~udged by the reproducing c~rcuit on ~he ba3i~ of th~ principle of the ma~or~ty decision. Thu~
the error correct~on of the track n~mber reproduced data can be carrisd out.
Turn~ ng bac~ ~o Fig . 2, the still picture ~ideo and audio signal reproduced signal S3 d~scribed above is ~uppli~d through a muting circuit 25 to a v~deo reproducing circuit 26 and al~o to an audio signal digital convertlng circuit 27. The video reproducing circuit 2h and ~he converting circuit 27 are operated in synchroni~m with each other with the ~ignal ~n the black burst interval ~1 of the still picture v~deo and audio reproduced signal S3 ~o make a mon~tor 28 in a condition which can display a still picture and to present such a ~tate where a digital ~ignal corre~ponding to audio data is obtained from the audi.o data intsrval ~2.
When thel header mar~ signal ~D of the audio da~a ~ignal AT is thu~ delivered from the audio ~ignal digital converting circuit 27, such header maxk signal ~D i8 ~ ~3 ~8 detected by a header mark detecting circuit 31. men, by it~ de~ected signal Sll, the muting circuit 25 is then turned off to inhibit the ~ignal S3 from being supplied from the frequency demodulating circuit 22 to ~he video reproducing circuit 26. This 0f-state i~ maintained until a trA~ ler mark detacting circui~ 32, when ~he trailer mark si~nal TL of the audio data ~lgnal AT is delivered from the aud~o signal digital converting circuit 27, detects the abov~ tr~iler mark signal TL and then ~he header mark detecting circuit 31 i5 reset by it~ detected signal S12.
The header mark de~ectin~ signal Sll i~ supplied to a temporary memory circuit 33 as its write enable ~ignal. As a resul~, each time ~he converting circuit 27 produce~ digital data corresponding to the 1st to 32nd frame ~ignal~ (see Fig. 4) in tha interval T2 following the header mark ~ignal ~D, each of the digital data i8 stored in the memory circuit 33. Thl~ data ~toring operat~on i~ carxied out by a write clock pulse S14 ~ent from a clock control circuit 34 which i~ operated in synchronism with a horlzontal synchroniz~ng ~ignal S13 der~ved from the converting circuit 27. As de~cribed above, the whole (32 frame amounts at the maximum~ of audio data i5 the form of the aud~o digital ~ignal system wi~h the time base compres~ed i8 ~tored in the memory circuit 33.
When the memory circuit 33 end~ to store the audio data AT and the detecting circuit 32 deliver~ the trailer mark detecting signal S12, this trailer mark detecting signal S12 ig delayed by a delay cir~uit 35 and developea 3~
as a still picture generation starting conunalld signal S15.
~rhe delay circuit 35 has a delay time of one frame interval (accordingly, ~ v~rt~ cal sync~roni2ing interv~ls) of the reproduced ~till pic~ur~s vldeo and audio signal 5 S3 (~ee ~ig. 4~, ~o that the dslay circuit 35 delivers ~he ~ommand signai Sl5 at the timing when the still picture sigr.al of the 2nd frame in the still picture signal interval T3 (~ee Fig. 4~ i~ delivered from the converting circui~ 27 ana ~uppli e~ the ~a~ne to the access control apparatu~ 18 a~ the ~til~ command ~ignal S2. At that tim~, the acce~s contxol apparatu~ 18 controls the head 17 in position to repeatedly trace the cen~ral track 12B of the still picture ~rideo ~ignal track~ 12A to l~C ~ s~e Fig~ 3) wh~ ch i~ being traced at pre~ent.
At th2 ~ame time, the ~till picture generation starting command signal S15 i~ supplied to an ~rror correcting circuit 36. At this time, the error correcting circuit 36 sequent~ ally reads out the aud~o data stored ~n tha memory circuit 33 and carrieæ out the error correction thereof. Then, thi8 audio data is converted to the analog signal ~orm of an audio s~gnal S16 by a D/A ~digi~al-to-analog) converting ~ircuit 37 and the audio ~ignal S16 i~ supplied through an amplifying circui~
38 to a lo~d~peaker 40. me read operation from ~he memory circuit 33 by a cloc~ control circuit 41 and the conversion operation of the D/A converting circuit 37 are carried ou~ in response to a clock slgnal S17 generated from a cloc~ genera~or 42. The period o ~he clock ~ignal S17 is ~alect:ed 3ufficiently large in value as compared with the read period at which each audio data is wr~tten 532~
in the mamory circu~t 33. Thus, the audio data AT i8 read out fr~m the memory circuit 33 in timebase ~pand~d state and convert~d in~o the analog signal ~o that the audio signal with ~he ~ormal ~reguency ~ 8 supplied to ~he loudspeaker ~O.
The error correcting circuit 36 is arranged to perfor~. the error correction by u~ing ~he interle~ve code having partic~larly large correction ability. For exa~ple, it i~ possible.to employ the error correcting circuit disclosed in published Japanese patent application No.
4629/1982 as the error correcting circuit 36.
By the way, ace~rdlng to ~he interleave error correction code ~ystem, while taking transm$~sion data o a predeter-min~d block number a~ one unit, data of each block are disp~rsed bit by ~it so a~ to be interleaved bit by bit to data of other block~ with one another thu~ the correction-coded data with ~he leng~l of the predetermined block number being obtained. And thPn, the tran~mission data is decoded by re-arranging each bit of the correction-coded data into ~he original block. As described above,since in ~his error correction sy~te~ the tran6mission da~a are mutually dispersed, even if ~he error occurs in a part of the correction-coded aata over quite a wide range, the error appearing in the data of each block i8 quite ~mall bit. Thu~, it may be said that thi~ error correction system has large c~rrection ability.
In thi~ embodi~ent, in the transmi~ion data, 112 blocks, each one block being formed of data of 3~ bytes, are taXen a~ one unit and ~he data of one unit are ;32~3 interleaved to produc~ the coxrection-coded data of 112 x 32 byte~.
Con3equently, since the principle of thi~ lnterleave error correction code 8y8~em i~ to per~orm the encoding and decoding wi~h the ~ata of the predetermined block number a~ one ~nit, it i~ nece~ary ~or the data of one unit to be proca~sad 80 that ~he da~a format~ i n Figs . 7 and 8 are 80 construc~ed a~ to ~ati~y this cond~tion.
In Fig. 8, the effect~ve audio data D~ ha~ the data a~ount of 7168 byte~3 1= 3584 x 2 bytes) for each frame, which fact means that ~he audio data DT o~ each frame i8 ~ormed of 2 units o~ data amount of 3584 byte~ (- 32 byte x 112 block) which i~ taken a~ one unit in caae o~ data process-ing operation upon error correction. m U8 the error correction 8y8tem having large correction ability can ea~ily be applied to ~his emboaim~nt.
The read operation cona~tion of ~h~ mQmory cir~uit 33 in Fig. 2 iB re~tricted ~y a read time limiting circuit 45 ~o as not to exceed a predetarmined duration o~ time.
m at is, in the read time limiting circuit 45, the ~till pictur~ generation ~tarting co~mand signal Sl~ uppliea to a ~rack number data gate control circuit 46. mi8 gate con~rol cixcuit 46 so control~ a gate circuit 47 such th8t a track n~ber data S18 of 3~ bytes in~erted into the first interval UT of ~he first fram~ of t~e audio d~ta DT
(~ee F~g. 3~ ~tored in the memory circuit 33 i9 taken through the ~a~e clrcuit 47 into an error correctlng circuit A8. At that time, the error correcting cir~uit 48 correct~ for the error of ~he track number dat~ S18 repeatedly ~upplied thereto on ~he ba~is of the ma~orit~
~3~48 decision principle and ~hen supplies ~le error-corr~cted data to a decoder 49 which ~pecifies ~e ~tored data o~
the read range corresponding to the track number in a read control circuit 50 for the memory circuit 33. ~hUB, when the data within the ~pecified range is read out from the memory circuit 33, ~he men~ry circuit 33 i~ ~topped by the ou~put from the read control cir~uit 50 in carrying out the read operation mora.
With the abo~e circuit arrangement, when ~he still picture of an n-th unit is ~pecified by the keyboaxd 16, the access con~rol apparatus la put~ the heRd 17 at the po~ition of the ~till picture video and audio signal track group 15 (see Fig. 3) of the n-th unit on the video disc 11 and drive~ the head 17 to start to trace ~he black burst tracks 14A to 14D. At ~hat tima, the black burRt interval T1 of ~e still picture video ana audio reproducad ~ignal S3 is delivered from the freguancy demodulating circuit 22 and supplied through the m~ g circuit 25, which is bei~g turned on, to the Yideo raproducing c:ircuit 26 and the audio signal digital converting circuit 2? directly.
When the head 17 comes to trace ~he audio signal tracks 13A t~ 13Y, the audio data interval T2 of the still picture video and audio reproduced signal S3 is produced 25 from the frequency demodulating circuit 22. Since the header mark signal HD is in~erted into the first frame in the audio data inter~l T2, the header mark signal HD is detected by the header mark detecting circuik 31.
This detected si~nal Sll turn~ off the muting circuit 25 and ak the samQ time sets the m2mory circuit 33 in the 32~B
write enable state whereby the audio data DT of l~t to 32nd frames (in thl~ case, the data of 32 traoks are recorded on the audio data interval T23 converted in ~he form o digital data ~y the audio signal digital converting circsl:Lt 27 are stored in the m~u~lory circuit 33.
When the stoxing of the audio data DT i~ ended, ~hi8 end o~ ~toring the audio data DT is detected ~y detect~ng the trailer mark signal ~L inæerted into its end frame by the ~railer mark detecting circuit 32 and ~he detecting operation of the header mark detecting circuit 31 i8 re~et by the detected signal S12, whexeb~ when the head 17 starts to trace the still p~cture video and aud~o tracks 12A to 12C thereafter, the video signal in ~he 3till picture video si~nal interval T3 produced in ~he still 15 picture video and audio reproduced signal S3 ls ~upplied to the viaeo reproducing circuit 26 therehy displayed on the monitor 28.
The detected ~ignal S12 from the trailer mark detecting ci rcuit 32 i8 delayed 2 vertical ~ynchroni2ing signal interval amounts (accordingly, one frame interval amount) by ~he ~.elay circuit 35 ana then supplied ~o the access control apparatus 18 as the ~till command signal S2. The timang of the still command ~gnal S2 i~ made coincident with the timing at which ~he head 17 starts to trace the cen~ral still picture video track 12B (see Fig. 3B) so ~hat the acces~ control apparatu~ 18 is set in such ~tate that the hea~ 17 1~ ~riven to repeatedly trace the centxal still picture video trac:k 12B. There-fore, the still picture ~ideo and audio reproduced signal 30 S3 from the frequency demodulating circu~ t 22 becomes the ~ ~32 signal which is provided by repeatedly reproducing ~he second ~rame of the still picture video signal interval T3 (see Fig. 4;, whereby the still picture of the n-th unit i6 repeatedl~ reproduced on the monitor 28.
Under the ~tate that the ~3till picture is reproduced on the monitor 28, the operati,~n of the error correcting circuit 36 i8 ~arted by the output ~ignal ~S15 ~rom the delay clrcuit 35 and the read operation from the memory circuit 33 i~ started at the cycle of the clock slgnal S17 derived from a clock ~nerator 42 so that the audio data stored in ~he mem~ry circuit 33 ~8 read out w~th ~he tine base therev heing expanded, converted by the D~A
conver~er 37 and then smanated from the loudspeaker 40 a~ the audio information.
Accordinqly J it beco~es pos~ible to view the still picture on ~he m~nltor 28, while haaring the audio infor-matlon from the loudspaaker 40.
At the 8ame time, th~ output si~nal S15 from the delay circuit 35 i~ supplied ~o the track numher data gate control circuit 46 in the read time limiting circuit 45 to opan the ga~e circuit 47. Since thi~ tlming i~
the ~ama as that at ~h~ch the reading of ~he audio data DT of the first frame in the audio data inter'val T2 stored in the memory circuit 33 i~ ~tarted, the u~able audio da~a track number data (Fig. 8) insertea into the start region UT of the ~ir~t frame i~ latched through the gate circult 47. Accoraingly, the read control circuit 50 controls the memory circuit 33 to read therefrom the audio data Dl' corresp~nding to the u~able audio data track number (in this embodiment, 32 tracks (see Fig. 3)) and ~532~3 re8trict8 tha memory circuit 33 from performlng ~he read operation therefrom after ~he read operation ~fi ended.
As describea above, the audio information recorded on the video disc 11 along the audio signal track 13 wi~h the time ba~e being compressed ~an sufficiently be reproduced ~o that the 8till pii~ture together wi~h ~he audio information thereof can be monitored for the duration of period corre~ponding to the audio signal of 32 tracks (namely, 1. 3 x 3~ 2 41.6 seconds) .
Next, when a still picture having the dlfferent usable audio track number (for example9 "10" tracks) i8 specif~ed by the keyboard 16, the audio data of 10 ~r~ck amounts is rec~rded through the audio s$gnal digital converting circuit 27 to the memory circuit 33 in the same way as in ~he above ~asa. At that time, the track number data having the content representing ~he track nu~bers ~10" i~ latched in the read time control c~rcuit 45 by which the data corre~ponding to the above track number aata ~8 read out from the memory circuit 33 and the data oth~r than the above is re~tricted from being read out from the memory circuit 33. Con3equently, the read time limiting circuit 45 operate~ ~uch that e~en if the undesired data i5 ~tored in the memory cir~uit 33, the data wr~tten in the memory circu~t 33 ~his time can be po~itively read out ~herefrom without being affected by ~uch unde~ired data. Thu~ the ~till picture together with the audio information can b~ monitored ~or the duration o~ period corre~ponding to the audio ~ignal of ~lON track amount~ (namely, 1.3 x 10 = 13.0 ~econd~.
While in the above embodiment, the data in the usable ~;3;2~
tras:k nu~nber data interval VT ~see Fig~ 83 i~ u~ed to restrict the read ~ime of ~he merr~ry circuit 33 by the rsad tima li~Liting ~::ircuit 45, in addition thereto such data can also be u~ed to control a bacX-up eircuit 60 for the trailer mar3; detecting cirlcuit 32 as shown ~n Fig. 10.
In Fig. 10, like part~ corresponding to tho~e in Fig. 2 are marked with the same referlences. The aetected signal Sll of the header mark detecting circuit 3 i8 ~upplied to a gate pulse generating circuit 61 and a gate pul~e signal S21 therefrom opens a gate circuit 62. men, the data in the usable track mmlber data interval U~ of the first frame (see Fig. 4~ of the audio signal intQrval T2 is supplied through the gate circuit 62 to a usable track num~er de~ectin~ circuit 63. A detected signal S22 therefrom corre~ponds to t~e nu~er of the tr~cks to be used and i~ varied by a decoder 64 to a variable control signal S23 for a variable delay circuit 65 80 that ~he delayed amount of ~he variable d01ay circuit 65 become~
a value corresponding to the number of track~ to bs usedr The variable dalay circuit 65 is supplied with the detected signal Sll from the header mark detecting circuit 31 in which the detec~ed ~ignal Sll i8 d~3layed by the delay time correspondlng to the number of track~ to be used ~nd then deliv~red through an OR circuit 66 a~ an audio terminal detecting ~ignal S24. The OR circuit ~6 is also supplied with ~he detected output S12 from the trailer mark detecting circuit 32 and this d~tes:ted output S12 is s~ppli.ed through the OR circuit Ç6 as the audio terminal ~etecting si~nal S24, too.
Wlth the! circuit arrangement in Fig. 10, when ~he -- 2~ --~ ~ 5 ~ 2 ~ ~
trailar mark signal TL i8 delivered af~er the header mark signal ~D i~ deli~ered from the audio si~nal digital converting circuit 27, if the traller mark detec ~ng circuit 32 correctly carries out its detecting operation, 5 th8 detected signal S12 therefrom is supplied through the OR circuit 66 to the delay circuit 35 as the audio terminal detecting sl gnal S2~ hereby the h~aad 17 is dr~ven to repeate~ly trace the second ~till picture ~ideo slgnal track 12B.
~hen the trailer mark detecting circuit 32 is mis-operated and does not produce the trailer mark ~etecte~
signal S12, the audio termLnal detected signal S24 i5 deli~ered ~hrough the variable delay circuit 65 and ~he OR circuit 66 at ~he tim~ng in which the head 17 is substantially driven to repeatedly trace the ~econd still pic~re video signal track 12B to thereby back up the mi~-operation of the trailer ~ark detecting circuit 32.
In other words~ the da~a in tha usable track number data interval (see Fig. 8) at th~ beginning of the effective audio data D~ is supplied through the gate ~ircuit 62, which is opened by the ga~e pulse S21 from the gate pulse generating circuit 61 operating n response to the detectea output Sll ~som the header rnark detec~ng circuit 31, to the usable track number detecting cixc-~ t 63 so that the delay amount of the varlable delay circuit 65 i3 controlled to equal to the value corresponding to the slu~er of the traclcs to ~e used. Thu8, the detected output Sll ~rom the header mark detecting circuit 31 i8 delayed subs~:ant~ally to the timing a~ which ~he trailer mark 3ignal q~ is produced (~his trailer mark ~ignal TL

i8 generated at timing of the la~t fr~ne of the audio data interval T2, accordingly, at timing delayed by ~ime corresponding to ~he number of the tracks to be u~ed) and then delivered through ~he OR circuit 66 as the audio terminal detecting signal S2go A~ set forth above, according to the circuit arrangements shown in Figs. 2 ~md 10, ~ince such da~a ~o~mat i8 u~ed ln which the track number data i8 inserted into the usable track number dalta interval UT (~ee Fig. 8 formed at the beglnning of the effective audio data DT, it is po~sible ~o provide the signal representing the aud~o data am~unt to be decoded before the reproducing circuit ini~iates the decoding operationO Wi~h such signal, it i~ po~ible to form ~he timing ignal which i~
effec~ive for reproducing the still pictura video signal of the reproducing circuit and the audio ~ignal corre-sponding to the video signal. To ~hi~ end, ~he usable track number data can ba inserted while matching the data foxmat nece~sary for the error correcting circuit 23 36 with the data format neces~ary for the recording on ~he video di~c 11.

DESCRIPTION OF TH~ PREFE~RED EMBODIMENTS
Now, the pse~ent in~ention will hereinafter ~e d~scrib2d with reference to the dra~ings. Fig. 2 is a bl~ck diagram showing a reproducing circuit to which a m~thod for ~torin~ video and audio ~gnals on a video diss accord~ng to ~he present invention 1~ appl~ed.
In Fig. 2, reference numeral ll de~ignate~ a video ~53~4B
disc in which as ~hown in Fig. 3 a still pictuxe video track interval 12 i5 ~ormed o~ at lea~t ~hree ~erial track~ 12A, 12B and l~C and the sam~ ~till plctuxe ~ideo ~i~nal of one fram2 amount i~ recorded on each of the tracks 12A to 12C.
At the insiae of the ~till picture video signal tracks l~A to 12C, there are formed ~n audio signal track inter~al 13 formed of, or ex~mple, 32 audio signal tracks 13A to 13Y at the maxi~um and a black burst interval 14 formed of ~ black burst tracks 14A ~o 14D, thu~ a still pictur~ video and audio informa~ion trac~
group 15 of one unit amount being constructed. The still picture video and audio information track group 15 of one unit amount i5 continuously recoraed on the video disc 11 along the serial ~piral-shape tracks with addres~
codes sequentially atta~hed thereto ~rom, for example, the ~nslde of the serial track~.
~ urning back to Fig. 2, upon playback, when a desired address signal Sl is specifiea and ~nputtea by a keyboard 16, a video head 17 i~ con~rolled in it~ adaress position relative to the radial dirsction of the video disc 11 by an access con~rol apparatu~ 18 so that the viaeo head 17 is dri~en to sequentially trace the black bur~t tracks 14A ~0 14Dr the audio signal tracks 13A to 13~ and the 25 video tracks 12A to 12C corresponding to the still picture video and audio information track ~roup 15 corre~pondin~
to the specif ~ ed address .
The nun~er of tracks in the audio signal tracls interval 13 i8 selected to correspond to each of ~he still 30 p~ctures because ~he amount of audi o informatlon depends on cach ~tiil picture. As a result, it is possi~le to sequentially change the number of the audio signal track~
13A to 13Y of the still picture video and audio information track group 15 of each unit serially formed along the spiral-shape track~.
~ en the video head 17 reiaches the positivn to trace the c~ntral track 12B of the ~hree still picture videQ
track3 12A to 12C, ~he video h~ad 17 is controlled in position to repea~edly trace the central track 12B by the acce~s control app~ratus 18 to which a still command signal S2 is supplied.
In thi~ embodiment of Fig. 2, the video disc 11 is driven to rotate a~ speed of 30 r.p.s by a drive motor 19 and the video head 17 is formed of an optical head.
In the still picture video and audio ~nformation track group 15 of one unit amount of the video disc 11, there is recorded a still picture video and audio signal S0 of a televi~ion video signal system as sho~n in Fig. 4.
This still pic~ura video and audio signal S0 is reproduced by the video head 17, supplied through a playback ampli~ying circuit 21 and a frequency d~modulating circuit 22 and then developed a~ a still picture video and audio reproduced siqnal S3.
In Fig. 4 J first and second field ~ignal portions Fl and F2 are reproduced from each one circular track. ~hen ~le ~ideo head 17 ~race~ the black burst tracks 14A to 14D (see Fig,. 3~, a black hurst signal interval Tl formed of the horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals and the burst 3ignal continues 4 frames. Thereafter, when the video head 17 traces the audio signal tracks 13~ to 13Y
~532~
(see Fig. 3), an audio data interval T2 continues 32 fram~s at the maximum. After that, when the video head 17 trace~
the ~till picture video tra~ks 12A to 12C (~e~ Fig. 3), a still picture video signal in~rval T3 continue~ 3 frames.
Thu~, when the video ~ignal in1:erval T3 i8 enaed, the playback of a still picture vicleo and audlo signal ~nterval ~A of one unit concerning the above ~till picture i8 ended.
The video signal o~ 2 field amounts with the ~tandard television signal forma~ i~ recorded on each ~rame interval of the still picture video ~ignal interval ~3 and ~he ~ontents of the still picture thereof are made e~ual to each o~her.
On the contrary 9 in each frame period of the audio data interval T2, a~ ~hown ~.n Fig. 5, a header mark signa~
HD representing the beg~nning o~ the audlo data can ba inserte~ into the 21~t horizontal synchronizing interva~
follc~ing th~ vertical synchronizing ~ignal in the first field interval Flr while a trailer mark ~ignal TL represent-ing the end of the audio data can b~ in~er ed into the262nd horizon~al synchroniziny ~nterval just before the beginning of the vertical ~ynchronizing ~ignal of the next fiela in the second field ~nterval F2. ~nd, an audio data signal AT the t~me axis or ti~e base of which i~
~ompre~sed as shown in Fig~ ~ can be inserted into the remaining horizontal synchronizing s~gnal interval~ o~ the first and ~econd fields Fl and ~2. ~wever~ in practice, as ~hown in F'ig. 4, in ~he audio data interval T2, the header mark ~ignal HD is insert2d into only the fixst frame and the trailer mark ~ignal TL i~ inserted into only the ~5~ 2~ 8 last 32nd fra~e, thu~ r~pre~enting ~hat ~he interval into which the audio data i~ inserted i8 fxom the 1st frame to the 32nd frame (at the maximum).
The audio data æignal AT .in the audio data interval T2 cons~ts of, as shown in Fig. 6~ a horizon~al ~ynchro-~izing ~ignal ~, a color burst ~lgnal CB and an ef~ectiv~
audio data DT. A referenca si~gnal ID of ~ine waveform ha~ng one cycle of 2 bit widths and changing around the 1/2 amplitude po~ition i~ inserted into the beginning of . 10 the effective audio dat~ DT so that upon reproducing the e~ective audio data DT, when ~ha re~ere~ce ~ignal ID
and the audio data DT are sliced with the 1/2 amplitude level, a reference logic slgnal can be reproduced ~o ha~e a duty ratio of 50~ by the referen~e signal ID, a reference bit wid~h and a logic level which i~ alternately changed tD ~lu or "on. Thuæ, the digital valua of ~he effective audio da~a DT c~n be repx~duced without error by adju~ting the amplitude of the effecti~e audio data DT ~o as to make ~he w~vefor~ of the reference lo~ic s~gnal a predeter mined one.
The effectlve audio data DT i8 ~eleCtea X0 as to have a capacity of 15 bytes (120 bits) at avery 1~ interval, while the r~ference s~gnal ID i~ selected 80 a~ to have a capacity of 1 byte (~ bit8) 80 that as ~hown ~n ~g. 7, the data format of the aud~.o data AT of one frams i8 provided at ~ts 21~t E~ (horizon~al ~nterval) wi~h tha data of the header mark s~gnal HD of 15 byt~s and in it~
interval o~ 240H ranging ~ro~ 22nd H to 261st H with the effective andLio data DT of 15 byte~ each ~accordingly, 30 15 x 240 ~ 3600 byte~) during the fir~t f~ eld Fl~ Also during the ~econd field F2, the above data fo~mat of ~he audio data AT of one frame i8 pro~ided in it~ ~40H
interval ranging from 22nd H to 261st ~ with ~he effective ~udio data DT of 15 byte~ each (accordingly, 15 x 240 3 3600 byte.c~ and at it~ 262nd H with the data of the trailer mark signal TL of 15 bytes. Thu~ the audio data of one frame ha~ ~he data capac~ity ~f 360Q x 2 a 7 . 2 R byte~.
Since the audio data interval T2 (~ee Fig~ 4) consists of 32 frames, the whole capacity of the audio data signal AT in ~he audio data intarval T2 becomes 7~2 x 30 - 230.4 R ~ytes as shown in Fi~. 8.
Accordingly, if the formats of data ln thQ audio data interval T2 are con~tructed a~ 3h~wn in Fi~s. 6 to 8, the aud~v ~ignal of about 1.3 sec can be repxoduced for the ~till picture of one ~rame.
In th~ embodiment, a control program data CP of, for example, 3456 byte~ is ~nserted into the fir~t frame of ~he audio data interval T2 as shown ln Fig. 8 and ~hi~
data CP is u3~d to control the proce~ operation of ~he ~0 audio data in ~he playback circuit.
In addi~lon to ~he above arrangement, a~ shown in Fig. 8, a u~able track number indication inter~al UT of a predetermined capacity iB inserted into the ~eginning of each frame of the effective audio data DT whereby a 2~ track number data representing the number of track~ (of the video di~c 11) along which the audio si~nal ~orre-~ponding to the ~till picture i~ re~orded can be inserted thereinto. In thi~ embodim~nt~ the capacity of the usable ~rack number indication interval U~ i~ selected to be 32 bytes.
~2.532~
In thi8 indication in~erval UT, a~ shown in Fig. 9, track nu~bar data TD ~ to "32n) u~ed to record byte by byte the audio ~ignal track interval 13 i3 re~pectively recorded in the form o~ the binary coded decimal number.
S In thl 8 embodiment, the number of the tra~ks to be u~ed can be selected to be U32" at 1~2 maximum. Thus it i~
possible to record ~he audio information of 1.3 x 32 -41.6 3econds at ~he maximum. In addition, ~ince the same track number data T~ o~ one by~ iQ r~peat~dly recorded up to 32 bites, the repeatedly recorded data can be read upon playback 8~ that the error of the repeatealy rec~raed data can ~e ~udged by the reproducing c~rcuit on ~he ba3i~ of th~ principle of the ma~or~ty decision. Thu~
the error correct~on of the track n~mber reproduced data can be carrisd out.
Turn~ ng bac~ ~o Fig . 2, the still picture ~ideo and audio signal reproduced signal S3 d~scribed above is ~uppli~d through a muting circuit 25 to a v~deo reproducing circuit 26 and al~o to an audio signal digital convertlng circuit 27. The video reproducing circuit 2h and ~he converting circuit 27 are operated in synchroni~m with each other with the ~ignal ~n the black burst interval ~1 of the still picture v~deo and audio reproduced signal S3 ~o make a mon~tor 28 in a condition which can display a still picture and to present such a ~tate where a digital ~ignal corre~ponding to audio data is obtained from the audi.o data intsrval ~2.
When thel header mar~ signal ~D of the audio da~a ~ignal AT is thu~ delivered from the audio ~ignal digital converting circuit 27, such header maxk signal ~D i8 ~ ~3 ~8 detected by a header mark detecting circuit 31. men, by it~ de~ected signal Sll, the muting circuit 25 is then turned off to inhibit the ~ignal S3 from being supplied from the frequency demodulating circuit 22 to ~he video reproducing circuit 26. This 0f-state i~ maintained until a trA~ ler mark detacting circui~ 32, when ~he trailer mark si~nal TL of the audio data ~lgnal AT is delivered from the aud~o signal digital converting circuit 27, detects the abov~ tr~iler mark signal TL and then ~he header mark detecting circuit 31 i5 reset by it~ detected signal S12.
The header mark de~ectin~ signal Sll i~ supplied to a temporary memory circuit 33 as its write enable ~ignal. As a resul~, each time ~he converting circuit 27 produce~ digital data corresponding to the 1st to 32nd frame ~ignal~ (see Fig. 4) in tha interval T2 following the header mark ~ignal ~D, each of the digital data i8 stored in the memory circuit 33. Thl~ data ~toring operat~on i~ carxied out by a write clock pulse S14 ~ent from a clock control circuit 34 which i~ operated in synchronism with a horlzontal synchroniz~ng ~ignal S13 der~ved from the converting circuit 27. As de~cribed above, the whole (32 frame amounts at the maximum~ of audio data i5 the form of the aud~o digital ~ignal system wi~h the time base compres~ed i8 ~tored in the memory circuit 33.
When the memory circuit 33 end~ to store the audio data AT and the detecting circuit 32 deliver~ the trailer mark detecting signal S12, this trailer mark detecting signal S12 ig delayed by a delay cir~uit 35 and developea 3~
as a still picture generation starting conunalld signal S15.
~rhe delay circuit 35 has a delay time of one frame interval (accordingly, ~ v~rt~ cal sync~roni2ing interv~ls) of the reproduced ~till pic~ur~s vldeo and audio signal 5 S3 (~ee ~ig. 4~, ~o that the dslay circuit 35 delivers ~he ~ommand signai Sl5 at the timing when the still picture sigr.al of the 2nd frame in the still picture signal interval T3 (~ee Fig. 4~ i~ delivered from the converting circui~ 27 ana ~uppli e~ the ~a~ne to the access control apparatu~ 18 a~ the ~til~ command ~ignal S2. At that tim~, the acce~s contxol apparatu~ 18 controls the head 17 in position to repeatedly trace the cen~ral track 12B of the still picture ~rideo ~ignal track~ 12A to l~C ~ s~e Fig~ 3) wh~ ch i~ being traced at pre~ent.
At th2 ~ame time, the ~till picture generation starting command signal S15 i~ supplied to an ~rror correcting circuit 36. At this time, the error correcting circuit 36 sequent~ ally reads out the aud~o data stored ~n tha memory circuit 33 and carrieæ out the error correction thereof. Then, thi8 audio data is converted to the analog signal ~orm of an audio s~gnal S16 by a D/A ~digi~al-to-analog) converting ~ircuit 37 and the audio ~ignal S16 i~ supplied through an amplifying circui~
38 to a lo~d~peaker 40. me read operation from ~he memory circuit 33 by a cloc~ control circuit 41 and the conversion operation of the D/A converting circuit 37 are carried ou~ in response to a clock slgnal S17 generated from a cloc~ genera~or 42. The period o ~he clock ~ignal S17 is ~alect:ed 3ufficiently large in value as compared with the read period at which each audio data is wr~tten 532~
in the mamory circu~t 33. Thus, the audio data AT i8 read out fr~m the memory circuit 33 in timebase ~pand~d state and convert~d in~o the analog signal ~o that the audio signal with ~he ~ormal ~reguency ~ 8 supplied to ~he loudspeaker ~O.
The error correcting circuit 36 is arranged to perfor~. the error correction by u~ing ~he interle~ve code having partic~larly large correction ability. For exa~ple, it i~ possible.to employ the error correcting circuit disclosed in published Japanese patent application No.
4629/1982 as the error correcting circuit 36.
By the way, ace~rdlng to ~he interleave error correction code ~ystem, while taking transm$~sion data o a predeter-min~d block number a~ one unit, data of each block are disp~rsed bit by ~it so a~ to be interleaved bit by bit to data of other block~ with one another thu~ the correction-coded data with ~he leng~l of the predetermined block number being obtained. And thPn, the tran~mission data is decoded by re-arranging each bit of the correction-coded data into ~he original block. As described above,since in ~his error correction sy~te~ the tran6mission da~a are mutually dispersed, even if ~he error occurs in a part of the correction-coded aata over quite a wide range, the error appearing in the data of each block i8 quite ~mall bit. Thu~, it may be said that thi~ error correction system has large c~rrection ability.
In thi~ embodi~ent, in the transmi~ion data, 112 blocks, each one block being formed of data of 3~ bytes, are taXen a~ one unit and ~he data of one unit are ;32~3 interleaved to produc~ the coxrection-coded data of 112 x 32 byte~.
Con3equently, since the principle of thi~ lnterleave error correction code 8y8~em i~ to per~orm the encoding and decoding wi~h the ~ata of the predetermined block number a~ one ~nit, it i~ nece~ary ~or the data of one unit to be proca~sad 80 that ~he da~a format~ i n Figs . 7 and 8 are 80 construc~ed a~ to ~ati~y this cond~tion.
In Fig. 8, the effect~ve audio data D~ ha~ the data a~ount of 7168 byte~3 1= 3584 x 2 bytes) for each frame, which fact means that ~he audio data DT o~ each frame i8 ~ormed of 2 units o~ data amount of 3584 byte~ (- 32 byte x 112 block) which i~ taken a~ one unit in caae o~ data process-ing operation upon error correction. m U8 the error correction 8y8tem having large correction ability can ea~ily be applied to ~his emboaim~nt.
The read operation cona~tion of ~h~ mQmory cir~uit 33 in Fig. 2 iB re~tricted ~y a read time limiting circuit 45 ~o as not to exceed a predetarmined duration o~ time.
m at is, in the read time limiting circuit 45, the ~till pictur~ generation ~tarting co~mand signal Sl~ uppliea to a ~rack number data gate control circuit 46. mi8 gate con~rol cixcuit 46 so control~ a gate circuit 47 such th8t a track n~ber data S18 of 3~ bytes in~erted into the first interval UT of ~he first fram~ of t~e audio d~ta DT
(~ee F~g. 3~ ~tored in the memory circuit 33 i9 taken through the ~a~e clrcuit 47 into an error correctlng circuit A8. At that time, the error correcting cir~uit 48 correct~ for the error of ~he track number dat~ S18 repeatedly ~upplied thereto on ~he ba~is of the ma~orit~
~3~48 decision principle and ~hen supplies ~le error-corr~cted data to a decoder 49 which ~pecifies ~e ~tored data o~
the read range corresponding to the track number in a read control circuit 50 for the memory circuit 33. ~hUB, when the data within the ~pecified range is read out from the memory circuit 33, ~he men~ry circuit 33 i~ ~topped by the ou~put from the read control cir~uit 50 in carrying out the read operation mora.
With the abo~e circuit arrangement, when ~he still picture of an n-th unit is ~pecified by the keyboaxd 16, the access con~rol apparatus la put~ the heRd 17 at the po~ition of the ~till picture video and audio signal track group 15 (see Fig. 3) of the n-th unit on the video disc 11 and drive~ the head 17 to start to trace ~he black burst tracks 14A to 14D. At ~hat tima, the black burRt interval T1 of ~e still picture video ana audio reproducad ~ignal S3 is delivered from the freguancy demodulating circuit 22 and supplied through the m~ g circuit 25, which is bei~g turned on, to the Yideo raproducing c:ircuit 26 and the audio signal digital converting circuit 2? directly.
When the head 17 comes to trace ~he audio signal tracks 13A t~ 13Y, the audio data interval T2 of the still picture video and audio reproduced signal S3 is produced 25 from the frequency demodulating circuit 22. Since the header mark signal HD is in~erted into the first frame in the audio data inter~l T2, the header mark signal HD is detected by the header mark detecting circuik 31.
This detected si~nal Sll turn~ off the muting circuit 25 and ak the samQ time sets the m2mory circuit 33 in the 32~B
write enable state whereby the audio data DT of l~t to 32nd frames (in thl~ case, the data of 32 traoks are recorded on the audio data interval T23 converted in ~he form o digital data ~y the audio signal digital converting circsl:Lt 27 are stored in the m~u~lory circuit 33.
When the stoxing of the audio data DT i~ ended, ~hi8 end o~ ~toring the audio data DT is detected ~y detect~ng the trailer mark signal ~L inæerted into its end frame by the ~railer mark detecting circuit 32 and ~he detecting operation of the header mark detecting circuit 31 i8 re~et by the detected signal S12, whexeb~ when the head 17 starts to trace the still p~cture video and aud~o tracks 12A to 12C thereafter, the video signal in ~he 3till picture video si~nal interval T3 produced in ~he still 15 picture video and audio reproduced signal S3 ls ~upplied to the viaeo reproducing circuit 26 therehy displayed on the monitor 28.
The detected ~ignal S12 from the trailer mark detecting ci rcuit 32 i8 delayed 2 vertical ~ynchroni2ing signal interval amounts (accordingly, one frame interval amount) by ~he ~.elay circuit 35 ana then supplied ~o the access control apparatus 18 as the ~till command signal S2. The timang of the still command ~gnal S2 i~ made coincident with the timing at which ~he head 17 starts to trace the cen~ral still picture video track 12B (see Fig. 3B) so ~hat the acces~ control apparatu~ 18 is set in such ~tate that the hea~ 17 1~ ~riven to repeatedly trace the centxal still picture video trac:k 12B. There-fore, the still picture ~ideo and audio reproduced signal 30 S3 from the frequency demodulating circu~ t 22 becomes the ~ ~32 signal which is provided by repeatedly reproducing ~he second ~rame of the still picture video signal interval T3 (see Fig. 4;, whereby the still picture of the n-th unit i6 repeatedl~ reproduced on the monitor 28.
Under the ~tate that the ~3till picture is reproduced on the monitor 28, the operati,~n of the error correcting circuit 36 i8 ~arted by the output ~ignal ~S15 ~rom the delay clrcuit 35 and the read operation from the memory circuit 33 i~ started at the cycle of the clock slgnal S17 derived from a clock ~nerator 42 so that the audio data stored in ~he mem~ry circuit 33 ~8 read out w~th ~he tine base therev heing expanded, converted by the D~A
conver~er 37 and then smanated from the loudspeaker 40 a~ the audio information.
Accordinqly J it beco~es pos~ible to view the still picture on ~he m~nltor 28, while haaring the audio infor-matlon from the loudspaaker 40.
At the 8ame time, th~ output si~nal S15 from the delay circuit 35 i~ supplied ~o the track numher data gate control circuit 46 in the read time limiting circuit 45 to opan the ga~e circuit 47. Since thi~ tlming i~
the ~ama as that at ~h~ch the reading of ~he audio data DT of the first frame in the audio data inter'val T2 stored in the memory circuit 33 i~ ~tarted, the u~able audio da~a track number data (Fig. 8) insertea into the start region UT of the ~ir~t frame i~ latched through the gate circult 47. Accoraingly, the read control circuit 50 controls the memory circuit 33 to read therefrom the audio data Dl' corresp~nding to the u~able audio data track number (in this embodiment, 32 tracks (see Fig. 3)) and ~532~3 re8trict8 tha memory circuit 33 from performlng ~he read operation therefrom after ~he read operation ~fi ended.
As describea above, the audio information recorded on the video disc 11 along the audio signal track 13 wi~h the time ba~e being compressed ~an sufficiently be reproduced ~o that the 8till pii~ture together wi~h ~he audio information thereof can be monitored for the duration of period corre~ponding to the audio signal of 32 tracks (namely, 1. 3 x 3~ 2 41.6 seconds) .
Next, when a still picture having the dlfferent usable audio track number (for example9 "10" tracks) i8 specif~ed by the keyboard 16, the audio data of 10 ~r~ck amounts is rec~rded through the audio s$gnal digital converting circuit 27 to the memory circuit 33 in the same way as in ~he above ~asa. At that time, the track number data having the content representing ~he track nu~bers ~10" i~ latched in the read time control c~rcuit 45 by which the data corre~ponding to the above track number aata ~8 read out from the memory circuit 33 and the data oth~r than the above is re~tricted from being read out from the memory circuit 33. Con3equently, the read time limiting circuit 45 operate~ ~uch that e~en if the undesired data i5 ~tored in the memory cir~uit 33, the data wr~tten in the memory circu~t 33 ~his time can be po~itively read out ~herefrom without being affected by ~uch unde~ired data. Thu~ the ~till picture together with the audio information can b~ monitored ~or the duration o~ period corre~ponding to the audio ~ignal of ~lON track amount~ (namely, 1.3 x 10 = 13.0 ~econd~.
While in the above embodiment, the data in the usable ~;3;2~
tras:k nu~nber data interval VT ~see Fig~ 83 i~ u~ed to restrict the read ~ime of ~he merr~ry circuit 33 by the rsad tima li~Liting ~::ircuit 45, in addition thereto such data can also be u~ed to control a bacX-up eircuit 60 for the trailer mar3; detecting cirlcuit 32 as shown ~n Fig. 10.
In Fig. 10, like part~ corresponding to tho~e in Fig. 2 are marked with the same referlences. The aetected signal Sll of the header mark detecting circuit 3 i8 ~upplied to a gate pulse generating circuit 61 and a gate pul~e signal S21 therefrom opens a gate circuit 62. men, the data in the usable track mmlber data interval U~ of the first frame (see Fig. 4~ of the audio signal intQrval T2 is supplied through the gate circuit 62 to a usable track num~er de~ectin~ circuit 63. A detected signal S22 therefrom corre~ponds to t~e nu~er of the tr~cks to be used and i~ varied by a decoder 64 to a variable control signal S23 for a variable delay circuit 65 80 that ~he delayed amount of ~he variable d01ay circuit 65 become~
a value corresponding to the number of track~ to bs usedr The variable dalay circuit 65 is supplied with the detected signal Sll from the header mark detecting circuit 31 in which the detec~ed ~ignal Sll i8 d~3layed by the delay time correspondlng to the number of track~ to be used ~nd then deliv~red through an OR circuit 66 a~ an audio terminal detecting ~ignal S24. The OR circuit ~6 is also supplied with ~he detected output S12 from the trailer mark detecting circuit 32 and this d~tes:ted output S12 is s~ppli.ed through the OR circuit Ç6 as the audio terminal ~etecting si~nal S24, too.
Wlth the! circuit arrangement in Fig. 10, when ~he -- 2~ --~ ~ 5 ~ 2 ~ ~
trailar mark signal TL i8 delivered af~er the header mark signal ~D i~ deli~ered from the audio si~nal digital converting circuit 27, if the traller mark detec ~ng circuit 32 correctly carries out its detecting operation, 5 th8 detected signal S12 therefrom is supplied through the OR circuit 66 to the delay circuit 35 as the audio terminal detecting sl gnal S2~ hereby the h~aad 17 is dr~ven to repeate~ly trace the second ~till picture ~ideo slgnal track 12B.
~hen the trailer mark detecting circuit 32 is mis-operated and does not produce the trailer mark ~etecte~
signal S12, the audio termLnal detected signal S24 i5 deli~ered ~hrough the variable delay circuit 65 and ~he OR circuit 66 at ~he tim~ng in which the head 17 is substantially driven to repeatedly trace the ~econd still pic~re video signal track 12B to thereby back up the mi~-operation of the trailer ~ark detecting circuit 32.
In other words~ the da~a in tha usable track number data interval (see Fig. 8) at th~ beginning of the effective audio data D~ is supplied through the gate ~ircuit 62, which is opened by the ga~e pulse S21 from the gate pulse generating circuit 61 operating n response to the detectea output Sll ~som the header rnark detec~ng circuit 31, to the usable track number detecting cixc-~ t 63 so that the delay amount of the varlable delay circuit 65 i3 controlled to equal to the value corresponding to the slu~er of the traclcs to ~e used. Thu8, the detected output Sll ~rom the header mark detecting circuit 31 i8 delayed subs~:ant~ally to the timing a~ which ~he trailer mark 3ignal q~ is produced (~his trailer mark ~ignal TL
~2.5324B
i8 generated at timing of the la~t fr~ne of the audio data interval T2, accordingly, at timing delayed by ~ime corresponding to ~he number of the tracks to be u~ed) and then delivered through ~he OR circuit 66 as the audio terminal detecting signal S2go A~ set forth above, according to the circuit arrangements shown in Figs. 2 ~md 10, ~ince such da~a ~o~mat i8 u~ed ln which the track number data i8 inserted into the usable track number dalta interval UT (~ee Fig. 8 formed at the beglnning of the effective audio data DT, it is po~sible ~o provide the signal representing the aud~o data am~unt to be decoded before the reproducing circuit ini~iates the decoding operationO Wi~h such signal, it i~ po~ible to form ~he timing ignal which i~
effec~ive for reproducing the still pictura video signal of the reproducing circuit and the audio ~ignal corre-sponding to the video signal. To ~hi~ end, ~he usable track number data can ba inserted while matching the data foxmat nece~sary for the error correcting circuit 23 36 with the data format neces~ary for the recording on ~he video di~c 11. In thi~ connection, the following conditions are required that digital information of the amount corrasponding t~ the audio information playback time nece~ary for the format of the audio data can be recorded, ~he audio information can ea~ily be increa~ed and/or decrea~ed in accord~nce wi~h the contents o the 8till piCtUre! (can be increa~ed ~nd/or decreased with the unit of t~ack) and the da~a of each track i formed of one byte ~it. In the above embodim~nt, in order to 3Q satisfy these! conditions, as shown in ~ig. 7, by record~ng x~
the data of 480~ (= 240 H x 2 fields) wi~h 15 bytes per 1~ interval on one frame (namely, one track), the data format is form~d which ha~ data amount of 7200 ~ytes ~- 15 bytes x 480).
A~ set forth, the d~ta structure shown in Fig~. 7 ~nd 8 ha~, a~ the data format for the recoxding the video di~c 11, the data amount of 72~0 byt~s per one frame, while a~ ~he data ~ormat for ~he error correck~on of the audio ~ignal upon reproducing, the data amount o 7168 byte~ per one frame. And, al~o the data of 32 bytes ls inserted into the p~rtion o~ tha data a~ount of the video disc 11 whi~h i~ unnece~ary for th~ arror ~orrection.
As a re~ult~ it i~ poss~ble to obtain a ~ormat by which the recording of the aud~o ~ignal data and the usable track number data on the v~deo di~c and the error correction upon play~ac~ can ~moothly be rea~ized~
As ~et forth above, a~cording to the pre~ent inYention, it is possihle to obtai~ the format by which the u~able track number data, which can be u~ed upon playback, i8 recorded on the video d~sc with the conditions of th~
record~ng ~ormat of the audio signal on the video disc and the error correction format upon reproducing beinq ~at~fiea.
The above de~cript~on is given on the preferred ambodiment~ of the invention, but ~.t will be apparent that many moaificat~on~ and variation~ could be effected by one skille~d in the art without departing fxom the ~pirit~ or ~c:ope of the noval concepts of the invention, ~o that the ~cope of the invention ~hould be determined 30 by the appencled cl~ims only.
