Arrangement for recording and reproducing standard and slow-motion video signals

Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement for recording and reproducing video signals, comprising at least a camera unit (10, 12; 14, 15) for generating video signals, at least a recording/reproducing device (22) adapted to the generated video signals, and at least a slow-motion programmer (18, 19) for controlling the recording/reproducing device (22) during slow-motion operation. To reduce the number of components for slow-motion recordings and provide the simultaneous possibility of superslow-motion operation, the invention is characterized in that the camera unit (10, 12; 14, 15) comprises a device (13) for switching the frame frequency from a standardized value to a value which is higher than this standardized value, and a RAM recorder (22) is provided as a recording/reproducing device which records and reproduces the video signals generated by the camera unit (10, 12; 14, 15) as digital signals.
