摘要

"Devices to record and reproduce a sequence of signals of the video data, method of generating a sequence of signal information, and recording carrier.An apparatus for recording a sequence of video data signals in a carrier tape (3) is proposed.The apparatus includes input means (1) for receiving signals from the video data, a means of generating (100) to generate signals of information of characteristic point.The processing means to process the signals characteristic point information for a plurality of characteristic points in a sequence of signals of information of characteristic points(CPI) and means of writing (108) for writing the sequence of video data signals and the sequence of signs of information of characteristic points in the carrier tape (3).The signs of characteristic point information to identify a characteristic point in the sequence of signals of the video data.Several measures are proposed in relation to the CPI aiming to provide compact mode of storing information relating to a size of images.
