Abstract:
A system and method is provided for recording both the luminance and color information components of a color television signal in a single track of a magnetic tape. The color components are recorded substantially throughout the magnetizable tape coating, while the luminance component is recorded substantially only in the surface of the magnetizable coating of the tape.
Abstract:
A device for controlling the path of a recording web with respect to a pinch roller-capstan drive arrangement to minimize contact of the web with the periphery of the pinch roller.
Abstract:
A means for effecting improved web advancing cooperation between a capstan and a recording web is disclosed. The peripheral surface of a rotating capstan which is to contact one side of a web is covered with a high coefficient of friction material. A member at the opposite side of the web, having a low coefficient of friction surface and which is stationary with respect to the direction of web motion, urges the web into motion imparting engagement with the capstan surface.
Abstract:
A system for recording and selectively playing back, repeatedly if desired, a portion of interest of continuously monitored information of given duration. Signal erasing means are scanned in precedent relation to scanned signal transducing means for cooperation with an endless loop recording medium to continuously update information stored for selective playback.
Abstract:
An arrangement for a stationary control transducer in a recorder-reproducer system which minimizes mistracking of transverse extending information tracks by rotatable information transducers. The control transducer is located at the neutral point of stretch of the tensioned web which is transported over a support surface for scanning of the transverse information tracks.
Abstract:
A belt drive arrangement for controlled transporting of an elongated recording web. The relative position of the prime mover and a driven member which imparts movement to the web is made controllably variable. The position variation alters the characteristics of belt means utilized to couple the drive to the motion imparting member.
