ABSTRACT:
As many as three of the four heads spaced at 90.degree. intervals around the periphery of a head wheel may be in contact with the magnetic tape of a video recorder and reproducer at the same time. Oblique tracks are recorded on the tape record video date in blocks corresponding to sectors, each composed of the same numbers of lines, each track beginning with a video sector and ending with another video sector with small audio blocks inbetween. Four different sector designations succeed each other in turn. The video data of each block is preceded by an identification signal of which the two most significant bits designate the sector. The sector designations are separated from the outputs of each of the magnetic heads and control a PROM, the output of which controls a crosspoint switch to direct data blocks in accordance with the sector identification to four memories and the audio blocks to an audio memory. When reproduction is performed at a speed faster or slower than the recording speed, the control data for the switch normally still has enough redundance for correct switching but when the control data becomes inconsistent with the track pattern, an error is detected and the previous setting of the switch is preserved. Errors can be reduced by taking into account head wheel pulses on the tape or data from a longitudinal track on the tape.
