Abstract

The design problems when recording a television picture on tape are far greater than those in an audio system. The problems are caused by the type of information which has to be recorded:

  • The video information.

    A standard audio system has a maximum signal bandwidth of about 15kHz. A television signal requires a video bandwidth of up to 5.5MHz.

    As well as the picture information, line and field sync pulses must be recorded.

  • The audio system is still required.

  • For reasons which will be described, more than one motor is used in a video recorder.
