摘要:
There is provided a signal processing system for recording and reproducing a video signal and a digital audio signal with a rotary-head VTR and, more particularly, a memory control system which generates a block address and a memory write signal so that the sync signal for reproduced digital data is detected reliably and the digital data is stored in the memory circuit correctly.

A writing method suitable for practice with an apparatus having a rotary head assembly for the storage and retrieval of digital data on and from magnetic tape in cassette form or the like. The rotary head assembly is of the type having a rotary drum to which there are mounted a pair of magnetic read/write heads and a pair of magnetic monitor heads. The read/write heads alternately and overlappingly scan the magnetic tape for creating a series of slanting data tracks thereon. The monitor heads are spaced from the read/write heads not only circumferentially but also axially of the rotary drum for monitoring the data tracks being formed by the read/write heads after they have been overlapped by the subsequently formed tracks. The writing method is of particular utility in writing a block of user data over any selected target group of existing data tracks that have been written on the magnetic tape by another similar magnetic tape apparatus in which the axial distances between the read/write heads and the monitor heads may differ from those of the present apparatus. The block of user data is written over all but the first and last of the target group of existing data tracks, and dummy data is written over the first and the last.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for recording digital data employing a DAT (digital audio tape recorder) adapted to record the data from a computer or the like in accordance with the DAT format, wherein a unit is formed of predetermined plural frames and a signal indicative of each frame number within a unit and a signal indicative of the last frame of the unit are recorded with each frame, whereby the length of the unit can be arbitrarily changed and accordingly signal processing is facilitated easily.
摘要:
A helical scan tape apparatus including a first pair of magnetic heads having mutually different azimuth angles disposed on a peripheral face of a rotary drum at an angle interval of 180 degrees so as to oppose each other, a second pair of magnetic heads disposed on of the rotary drum so as to be perpendicular to a disposition direction of the first magnetic heads, a magnetic tape helically wound around the rotary drum so as to extend over an angle of 90 degrees, the tape being moved while the drum is controlled to rotate in synchronism with a reference signal, the first magnetic heads having a wider gap width than a track pitch of tracks recorded on the tape without providing a guard band for enabling azimuth recording of a data signal on the tracks, the data signal being recorded repeatedly into a particular recording area, wherein the first magnetic heads are used substantially for recording and the second magnetic heads are used substantially for reproduction and are positioned with a downward shift in the height direction of the drum equivalent to half of a scanning width of the second magnetic heads as compared with said first magnetic heads. Alternatively, the second magnetic heads may be disposed with a predetermine amount of shift so that an end of said second magnetic heads opposite to a tape traveling direction is located within a track recorded in advance by a predetermined value.
摘要:
An apparatus for recording and/or reproducing a digital signal on a recording medium having at least a program start signal and program information recorded thereon, further records an identifying code signal indicating the start of unnecessary information on the recording medium during a predetermined time period, and, in a playback mode, when such identifying code signal is detected, the recording medium is transported at high speed and, when a program start signal is next detected, the recording medium is again transported at a normal speed.

A synchronizing system for use with a plurality of digital signal reproducers includes a plurality of digital signal reproducers, each having a digital I/O modulator, a digital I/O demodulator and a decoder; a digital signal multiplexer supplied with the output signal from the plurality of digital signal reproducers, and for producing a frame synchronizing signal, a plural channel of digital signals; the digital signal multiplexer including a clock pulse generator, a word synchronizing signal generator, a digital I/O modulator and a digital I/O demodulator. The corresponding digital I/O modulator and digital I/O demodulator are coupled to each other so as to synchronize the plurality of digital signal reproducers.
摘要:
A digital signal reproducing apparatus comprises a block address counter which is reset immediately before reproduction of a subcode region on a magnetic tape and a PCM data region to start a counting operation therefrom, and the counting operation of the block address counter is stopped when each of the subcode region and the PCM data region ends, so that the reproduced block address can be written into a random access memory while correcting the block address without the need of a decoding circuit.
摘要:
Digital data is recorded on a slant track of a magnetic tape by a rotary head, in which the sampling frequency of the digital data can be changed in accordance with the nature of the digital data. The recording apparatus comprises a memory for writing the digital data in response to an input clock signal which is synchronized with the sampling frequency and reading the digital data therefrom in response to a system clock signal; and a circuit for converting the digital data read out from the memory into a data block having such a capacity that the data block can be recorded during one scan of the rotary head. Even when the data rate of the input digital signal is unclear, if the data rate lies within a range where the buffer memory does not overflow, the apparatus can continuously record the input digital signal. Thus, the apparatus can easily interface with an external computer.
摘要:
A thin film magnetic recording head is fabricated by forming a substrate from opposing ferrite blocks which have a ceramic member bonded between them. This structure is then diced to form a plurality of columns, wherein each column has a ferrite/ceramic combination. Each column represents a single channel in the completed head. A block of ceramic is then cut to match the columned structure and the two are bonded together. The bonded structure is then cut or ground until a head is formed, having ceramic disposed between each channel. A ferrite back-gap is then added to each channel, minimizing the reluctance of the flux path. The thin film is patterned on the head to optimize various channel configurations.
