Abstract

An apparatus for recording an reproducing a digital video signal is disclosed which includes n sampling circuits each for performing a sub-Nyquist sampling operation for the digital video signal in such a manner that the amount of data is reduced to one-n-th of an original amount (where n is a positive integer) and a pixel sampled by the sub-Nyquist sampling operation is not sampled by the remaining sampling circuits, recording/reproducing means for recording and reproducing information at all or part of pixels which are sampled by the n sampling circuits and a device for reconstructing the digital video signal from reproduced information at pixels with the aid of a synthesizing technique or interpolation technique.
