HARD DISK RECORDER, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT THEREFOR, ELECTRICAL APPARATUS, TELEVISION, VIDEO RECORDER AND DVD PLAYER, EACH CONTAINING HARD DISK RECORDER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hard disc recorder which simplifies the circuit constitution and easily realizes a low cost.;SOLUTION: A system LSI 10 comprises an encoder 32 for compressing images, a decoder 33 for expanding the compressed images, a video decoder 34 for converting digital images into analog images, a hard disc controller 25, a microcomputer 27, etc. A video decoder 11, a host microcomputer, a hard disc drive HDD, etc. are added to the system LSI 10 to form a hard disc recorder 1. By integrating these into one chip, it is possible to easily realize synchronized control, memory sharing, etc. to reduce the manufacturing cost. Since video decoder 11 is formed separate from the LSI 10, it is possible to improve versatility, facilitate dealing with operation failures and realize a low cost.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
