Abstract:
Monochrome and color television recording and playback circuitry for coupling of a video magnetic transducer head with a standard broadcast television receiver, the circuitry including an inductor connected in series between the transducer head and the input of the playback amplifier and disposed closely adjacent the amplifier input for blocking transmission of stray radio frequency energy to the amplifier.
Abstract:
Monochrome and color television recording and playback circuitry for coupling of a video magnetic transducer head with a standard broadcast television receiver. The transducer head preferably includes a plurality of head units for recording respective color television signals with provision for selectively recording a monochrome signal on successive channels with the use of one only of the head units.
Abstract:
A magnetic transducer system for selective audio or video operation with movable guides for shifting the tape path between audio, video, and rewind positions, or with fixed guides defining both an audio and video tape path, the audio tape path being clear of the video head, for example. A video transducer with a receptacle removably receiving and providing external energization for a battery powered audio transducer unit. An audio/video cartridge transducer arrangement for selective operation with audio and video cartridges of different configuration, preferably using a common capstan element.
Abstract:
A tape cartridge transducer machine compatible with existing tape cartridges but provided with a cartridge ejection leverage mechanism which is actuated manually or by a solenoid to overcome the cartridge-biasing spring and shift the cartridge to an inactive standby position in the cartridge receiving space of the machine, after which the cartridge is manually removable with minimum effort. The machine preferably provides a balanced cartridge-biasing means to safeguard the cartridge against binding.
