A video recorder compatible receiver for receiving video data from a video recorder such as a video tape recorder ("VTR"). The receiver includes an error concealment circuit, a digital VTR port adapted for coupling to a VTR and/or a tuner module. The receiver receives digital video data from the VTR by either the digital VTR port or the tuner module. VTR commands may also be received from a VTR. Upon receiving a VTR command indicating that the VTR is operating in trick play mode or upon detecting video data that is indicative of VTR trick play operation, the error concealment circuit of the receiver disables normal play error concealment and enables trick play error concealment. The error concealment circuit may perform temporal and spatial filtering on the video data received from the VTR when trick play error concealment is enabled.
A digital video tape recorder (VTR) compatible receiver for receiving a digital video data stream output by a digital VTR, the video data stream including normal play video data output by the digital VTR during normal VTR playback operation, and trick play video data and trick play video data processing commands output by the digital VTR during trick playback operation, each trick play video data processing command including an instruction for processing the trick play video data, the receiver comprising:
A digital video tape recorder (VTR) compatible receiver for receiving a video data stream output by a digital VTR, the video data stream including normal play video data output by the digital VTR during normal VTR playback operation, and trick play video data and trick play video data processing commands output by the digital VTR during trick playback operation, the receiver comprising:
A receiver comprising:
A digital video tape recorder (VTR) compatible receiver for receiving a video data stream output by a digital VTR, the video data stream including normal play video data output by the digital VTR during normal VTR playback operation and trick play video data output by the digital VTR during trick playback operation, the trick play video data including a subset of the normal play video data, the receiver comprising:
A method of receiving and processing video data output by a digital video tape recorder (VTR), the digital VTR outputting a video data stream including normal play video data during normal playback operation, and trick play video data and a trick play video data processing command during trick play operation, the trick play video data including a subset of the normal play video data, the method comprising the steps of:
A method of receiving and processing video data output by a digital video tape recorder (VTR) during normal VTR playback operation and VTR trick playback operation, the digital VTR outputting normal play video data during normal VTR playback operation and trick play video data including a subset of normal play video data during VTR trick playback operation, the method comprising the steps of:
A receiver, for receiving a video data stream output by a digital video playback device, the video data stream including normal play video data output by the digital playback device during normal playback operation, and trick play video data and trick play video data processing commands output by the digital playback device during trick playback operation, the trick play video data including a subset of normal play video data, each trick play video data processing command including an instruction for processing the trick play video data, the receiver comprising:
