ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus having at least one rotary head for reproducing video signals recorded in successive parallel tracks extending obliquely across a tape which is advanced longitudinally and also has control signals recorded therein in predetermined positional relationship to the respective record tracks to be reproduced by a fixed transducer or head with a repetition rate that is dependent on the speed of advancement of the tape: a speed and phase control system for the rotary head or heads has a rotational speed detector for producing pulse signals representative of the rotational position of each rotary head and having a repetition rate that is a function of the rotational speed of the rotary head; a phase comparator for producing a phase responsive signal having a voltage level that is varied in response to changes in the relative timing of the reproduced control signals and the pulse signals; a digital device for producing a speed responsive signal having a voltage level that generally corresponds to the repetition rate of the pulse signals, but which is varied in response to changes in the repetition rate of the pulse signals only when such changes occur without corresponding changes in the repetition rate of the reproduced control signals; and a brake or other means for controlling the rotation of the rotary head in response to the voltage levels of the phase responsive signal and the speed responsive signal. In a preferred embodiment, the digital device for producing the speed responsive signal includes a source of clock pulses, a counter for counting the clock pulses for time intervals determined by the repetition rate of the pulse signals from the rotational speed detector, a digital-analog converter for converting the count of the counter, at the end of the mentioned time intervals, to a corresponding voltage level of the speed responsive signal, and an arrangement for establishing the initial count of the counter at the commencement of each of the time intervals in dependence on the repetition rate of the reproduced control signals.
