ABSTRACT:
A digital servo system for maintaining a detection device, such as a light beam, centered as closely as possible over an information track, such as an optical track on a video recording disc. The servo system includes circuitry for detecting when the light beam traverses a switching line, which, in the illustrative embodiment, is the track centerline, for applying a constant-magnitude acceleration force to deflect the beam to a corrected position, and for reversing the polarity of the acceleration force when the beam traverses the switching line.
