SET TOP BOX CONNECTED TO IEEE1394 SERIAL BUS AND CONTROLLER EQUIPMENT CONNECTED TO IEEE1394 SERIAL BUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a set top box (STB) connected to an IEEE1394 serial bus in which program information can be recorded to an entry descriptor later, even in a failure in recording the program information to the entry descriptor at the time of video recording to a hard disk recorder (AVHDD).;SOLUTION: When the effective program information relating to the program under reproduction in the AVHDD can not be read at that time from the entry descriptor of the AVHDD (NO in S4), the program information, such as a program name and start time, regarding the program under the reproduction, included in the EIT in stream data from the stream data including the program under the reproduction is acquired (S5), and the program information is written into the entry descriptor of the AVHDD (S6).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
