Patent Class: Television Signal Processing For Dynamic Recording Or Reproducing (386/E5.004)

Description
This class deals with apparatus and corresponding processesfor processing a sequence of images, in which the light variationcomposing the images may change with time (e.g., natural "live"scenes) for dynamic recording or reproducing of the sequence ofimages. The processing involves the following steps: (a) Receivinga sequence of images from a local (e.g., camera, etc.) or remotesource (e.g. broadcasting station, satellite, cable, etc.); (b)Converting the received sequence of images into a form suitablefor dynamic storage, which form may or may not be reproduced later;or (c) Converting retrieved information from a dynamic storage mediuminto a sequence of images. This class also deals with apparatus or processes for recordinga single still or frame video using a dynamic recording device havingrelative movement between a transducer and a medium. SUBCOMBINATION OF TELEVISION SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR DYNAMICRECORDING OR REPRODUCING: (1) This class includes apparatus and corresponding processesfor making copies or editing of a recorded sequence of images fallingwithin the above definition. (2) This class includes dynamic storagemedium having magnetic or optical properties. (3) This class includes bothblack and white or color sequences of images.
