Abstract
An optical disk recording and reproducing apparatus including at least two optical disk drives, and a digital converter to encode and decode audio/video (A/V) signals reproduced from the at least two optical disk drives. The digital converter is installed at a middle portion between the at least two optical disk drives, such that the at least two optical disk drives and the digital converter respectively form the shortest communication paths possible.
Claims20
An optical disk recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- at least two optical disk drives;
- and
- a digital converter to encode and decode audio/video (A/V) signals reproduced from the at least two optical disk drives, wherein the digital converter is installed between at least two of the optical disk drives, such that the at least two optical disk drives and the digital converter respectively form the shortest communication paths possible.
An optical disk recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of optical disk drives;
- and
- a main board on which a digital converter is mounted, in which the digital converter encodes and decodes audio/video (A/V) signals reproduced from the plurality of optical disk drives, wherein each of the optical disk drives are installed to be adjacent to the main board, and the plurality of optical disk drives are symmetrically located with respect to the main board.
An optical disk recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- first and second optical disk drives;
- and
- a digital converter to encode and decode audio/video (A/V) signals reproduced from the first and second optical disk drives, wherein the digital converter is installed at a position relative to the first and second optical disk drives, such that communication paths between the first and second optical disk drives and the digital converter are each minimized.
An optical disk recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of optical disk drives;
- and
- a digital converter encoding and decoding audio/video (A/V) signals reproduced from and/or recorded to the optical disk drives, wherein each of the optical disk drives are adjacent to the digital converter and substantially symmetrical with respect to each other about the digital converter.
