Recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing hybrid data including text data

A recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing hybrid data, including at least one of video data, audio data and additional data, onto a recording medium, comprising:

• a bus for transmitting data therethrough;
• an interface for receiving the video data and the audio data and outputting these data to the bus;
• a text unit for generating text data and outputting the text data to the bus;
• a processor for receiving the video data, the audio data and the text data via the bus, generating the hybrid data from the video data, the audio data and the text data and outputting the generated hybrid data to the bus;
• a recording unit for receiving the hybrid data via the bus and recording the hybrid data onto the recording medium;
• a reproducing unit for reproducing the hybrid data recorded on the recording medium;
• an output unit for displaying the hybrid data reproduced by the reproducing unit;
• and
• a VTR interface connects between a VTR and the processor, and receives the hybrid data stream from the VTR at a rate which is an integer multiple N of a normal reproduction rate where N is greater than or equal to 1, and the processor separating at least one of the video data, the audio data, the additional data or the text data from the hybrid data received by the VTR interface, and outputting at least one of the received hybrid data, the video data, the audio data, the additional data or the text data to the bus;
• wherein the recording unit is capable of receiving and recording the hybrid data received by the VTR interface at the same rate as that of the VTR interface together with the at least one of the video data, the audio data, the additional data or the text data separated by the processor.
