Appeal No. 95-2855
Application 08/075,338
with this statement, but this argument misses the point. Even
though memories 14-1 to 14-i are disclosed as being filled with
successive frames of data after the data is stored in the memory,
the availability of this data does not require that more than one
frame of data be output.
Of more importance to the issue before us is the
operation shown in Figures 2 and 3 of the application and
described in the specification. Figure 3 shows the prior art
synchronization operation wherein synchronization is not obtained
between the preroll point t0 and the lock-in point t1. After
synchronization is achieved at point t1, the graph shows the time
codes linearly changing with time as the tape continues to play.
Figure 2 shows the operation of the invention. It can be seen
there that a start signal Vs occurs before lock-in point t1, and
one of the memories is selected as the memory holding the desired
frame of data. Although each of the memories in Figure 2 is
shown as continuing to linearly output time code data with
respect to time, only one of the memories has been selected by
the comparator of Figures 1 or 4. Once the comparison is made by
comparator 12, a single one of the memories is selected for read
out of the video data.
