摘要

Index image data used as auxiliary data for edition are generated and recorded on a recording medium on which video data have been recorded, and an image that meets desired conditions is selected from the video data recorded on the recording medium to generate index image data. A controller (35) reads the time code at a mark-in point from a memory (16) attached to a cassette, reproduces an image at the mark-in point agreement with desired conditions as an index picture, and sends the signals to an index-generating unit (40) from a video signal compression encoding/decoding unit (23). The index-generating unit (40) compresses and contracts the index pictures, arranges them in one frame, generates index picture data, and stores them on a video tape (27).
