Abstract:
Method and apparatus for transducing a plurality of video signals on a record medium by interlacing recorded fields of different signals along a channel, and using a series of scanners or a scanner with shiftable scanning beam for repeatedly reproducing each recorded field, or using a scanner and a repeater device to reproduce and repeat each recorded signal, and thus provide for display of a continuous sequence of fields, while using much less record medium for a given program.
Abstract:
A video transducer system comprising a magnetic head having a magnetic core with a loop magnetic signal flux path including a scanning gap, and a magnetic record medium coupled to the core at the scanning gap.
Abstract:
Monochrome and color television recording and playback circuitry for coupling with a standard broadcast receiver. Recording signals supplied to the recording head without further amplification, and with circuitry for maintaining a good visual display during recording, and circuitry for phase correction and pulse modification. Playback circuitry for reduced thermal noise, phase correction and improved response. Frequency modulation sound on video track.
Abstract:
A PORTABLE BULK DEMAGNETIZER HAVING A SHAFT RECEIVING A REEL OF MAGNETIC TAPE WHICH IS ROTATED TO MOVE SUCCESSIVE RADIAL SEGMENTS OF THE TAPE THROUGH AN ALTERNATING POLARITY MAGNETIC FIELD, THE SHAFT BEING PROGRESSIVELY MOVED AXIALLY TO MOVE THE RECORD MEDIUM AWAY FROM THE MAGNETIC FIELD SOURCE WITH SUFFICIENT UNIFORMITY TO EFFECTIVELY DEMAGNETIZE THE TAPE.
Abstract:
An electron beam head for reproducing magnetically recorded video signals wherein magnetic fields from the record medium are channeled to the interior of the envelope to deflect the primary electrons transversely to the scanning direction of the beam. In one embodiment, the sensing electrodes are at opposite sides of the magnetic field region at an end wall of the envelope, while in another embodiment the primary electron beam passes through the openings in a grid of magnetic wires so as to interact with the magnetic fields therebetween, electrostatic deflecting means serving to deflect the electron beam through a substantial angle as it leaves the grid so as to impinge on sensing electrodes remote from the grid. In a third embodiment, secondary electrons are conducted into a branch tube extending from the main envelope and a single electrode senses the degree of deflection of the secondary electrons by the magnetic fields permeating the secondary emission region.
Abstract:
A magnetic reproducing system for association with a color broadcast television receiver wherein a substantial degree of flutter in the tape drive is tolerated by the receiver circuitry and a special flutter tolerant clamping circuit is utilized for transmitting the reproduced video signal to the receiver.
Abstract:
A magnetic tape transducing machine with integral head cleaning brush, head demagnetizer and bulk tape demagnetizer, for selective conditioning of the head and tape alternately with actual transducing operations. The brush preferably rotates on an axis oblique to the direction of tape travel across the head while being relatively translated in said direction during contact with the head.
