The disclosure relates to a storage devices (10) configured to store data on a tape (11). The storage device (10) comprises the tape (11), which is configured to store data, and a data head (14), which is configured to read and/or write data from and/or to the tape (11). The storage device (10) further comprises an actuator (15) configured to move the tape (11) in a length direction in a step-wise manner. The actuator (15) comprises a number of pulling electrodes (16), wherein each pulling electrode (16) can be activated to exert a pulling force on the tape (11), and a number of clamping electrodes (17), wherein each clamping electrode (17) can be activated to clamp the tape (11).

A video data recordable (106) having integrated channel guides allowing a user to control recording and storage of television signals into personal channels (105) for later playback and viewing. In the described embodiment, the user may specify criteria (104) for recording of shows from an input source such as a broadcast signal and shows are then selected based on the user specified criteria (104) and recorded for later playback. Storage of the shows may be organized into personal channels (105) in order to facilitate later playback, e.g., the user may specify a channel of action movies, a channel of nature programming, a channel for sports, etc (103). The shows to be recorded may also have a predefined format which may be used to ease playback of recorded programming by allowing the user to easily locate and playback sections of programming of interest.
摘要:
The present invention has been made to reproduce data such as video or sound while preventing a video image from being reproduced in a discontinuous manner with respect to a previously reproduced still image in a reproducing apparatus that reproduces a video image and still image that operate in accordance with time information for synchronous reproduction and that have been recorded on a recording medium according to a recording system in which the data size corresponding to one frame is variable. When the reproducing apparatus operates in accordance with time information for synchronous reproduction to reproduce a video image and still image recorded in a recording medium according to a recording system in which the size of data corresponding to one frame is variable, the recording medium is stopped or reversely driven after all the data of the last bank have been picked up or after the reproduction position on the tape has passed over the last bank at the time when the operation mode of the reproducing apparatus is switched from video image reproduction mode to still image reproduction mode.

A magnetic recording/reproduction apparatus is provided which is designed to record and reproduce digital information signals on and from a magnetic tape at a reduced error rate in a long play mode. Digital information signals are recorded on the magnetic tape in the long play mode using a third rotary head and one of a pair of rotary heads. The third rotary head is mounted on the rotary drum at a given angular interval away from the one of the pair of the rotary heads in a height relation which allows tracks to be written on the magnetic tape in the long play mode at the same track pitch as that in the normal play mode.
摘要:
In order to easily discriminate a recording mode of a magnetic tape (T) even when the fast feeding/rewinding reproducing operation is set to the odd number times speed or even number times speed, a standard pilot signal for generating the tracking error signal is set to a fixed frequency when the fast feeding/rewinding reproducing operation is performed in the even number times speed of the ordinary reproduction speed and the standard pilot signal is set in the rotational frequencies when the fast feeding/rewinding reproducing operation is performed in the odd number times speed. Thus, the recording mode is discriminated by making reference to the time series pattern of an output obtained by sampling the tracking error signal obtained on the basis of the reproduced pilot signal and the standard pilot signal in the predetermined timing.
