Abstract:
The system compensates for an absence of a reproduced signal in one channel with a portion of a reproduced signal in another channel. The compensating signal contains its information which is interrelated with that of the signal absence portion. The compensation is performed by a switching pulse having its width corresponding to an interval of the signal absence portion.
Abstract:
A digital rotation or stepping motor contains oil of suitable viscosity which fills the space between a rotor and a stator. The motor is digitally and intermittently stepped in response to input pulses. The viscosity of the oil is selected to prevent a hunting which might otherwise be produced when the rotor stops its intermittent rotation.
Abstract:
This is a system for magnetically recording and playing back video signals on a rotating disc-shaped or drum-shaped magnetic medium. A plurality of magnetic heads move alternately and intermittently in a predetermined cycle. The invention permits detection of feed initiation positions, feed completion positions, feed burst positions and feed reset positions of the magnetic heads.
Abstract:
A magnetic head assembly comprises at least one resilient filmlike member held in tension over a drum-shaped support. A magnetic head holder and at least one head core are provided on an upper resilient member. The head core can follow the variation of contact caused by an uneveness of the magnetic surface of a magnetic medium.
Abstract:
A magnetic tape recorder for television video signals uses two sequentially active magnetic heads mounted on a revolving disk. A commutator is arranged to rotate in synchronism with the revolving disk and to act as a program switch for selecting the magnetic head switching points and for controlling the associated circuitry. The program selectively changes the instantaneous electrical characteristics of a path leading from the heads to the associated circuitry, these changes occurring as a function of whether one or two heads is operative at the instant of change.
Abstract:
A signal address system is adapted for use with apparatus for magnetically recording and reproducing a signal on a rotary member. At least one magnetic head is provided for recording and reproducing a video signal on a rotating magnetic member. The head is moved by drive pulses associated with field signals or frame signals of the video signal. Thus, the number of drive pulses may be used to provide an output signal representing the total number of drive pulses, which is substantially equivalent to an address signal. Thus, an address may be called out without requiring the recording and reproduction of a specific address signal on the magnetic medium.
Abstract:
An erasing system for a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus using a rotary magnetic medium in which same magnetic head is used both for erasing and recording. The erasing action is started from a point when a stepping of the magnetic head has been substantially ended in a vertical blanking interval of a video signal and continued to a point of an end of an interval in unit of one field from a start of the stepping.
Abstract:
A recording and reproducing time indicator in a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus which makes magnetic recording and reproduction by linear movement of magnetic heads in contact with a rotary magnetic medium. The indicator comprises a time indication part having a scale showing the position of magnetic heads into time, a pointer for indicating a scale on said time indication part, and a pointer driving means for moving said pointer in response to the position of magnetic heads moved by the head moving means.
