Abstract

A synchronizing signal detecting apparatus for a digital video cassette recorder (DVCR), which can detect a more stable synchronizing signal by detecting the synchronizing signal in a parallel processing method includes input signal convertor for converting input serial data, a first head switching pulse and a first clock into parallel data, a second head switching pulse and a second clock, a vertical synchronizing signal detector and a block synchronizing signal detector for respectively detecting a vertical synchronizing signal and a block synchronizing signal from the parallel data, second head switching pulse and second clock output from the input signal converter, and a data former for outputting finally output data in accordance with synchronizing patterns using the parallel and second clock. This apparatus allows a synchronizing signal to be detected more precisely. Also, the acquisition of slipped data is facilitated by rearranging output data in the unit of sync blocks.
