Abstract

A video magnetic tape recording system uses both angled video and audio tracks to avoid the problem of damage associated with tape utilising audio tracks along the tape edge. The angled audio tracks alternate with video tracks along the tape. The tape passes around a drum for recording and replay with audio pick-ups located diametrically opposite each other. The video pick-ups are also located diametrically opposite each other and are set at 90 degrees to the audio pick-ups. A pulse code modulated process is used for the audio signal recording to minimise the noise level.

Description

Verfahren und Gerät zum Aufzeichnen und Wiedergeben Method and device for recording and reproducing

von Videosignalen und Tonsignalen Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf die Videoaufzeichnungs- und Wiedergabetechnik mit Hilfe von Magnetbändern. of video signals and audio signals The invention relates to video recording and playback technology using magnetic tapes.

Die meisten Video-Bandaufzeichnungsgeräte, speziell die Heimgeräte, zeichnen die den Videosignalen zugehörigen Tonsignale auf einer längs der Kante des Magnetbandes laufenden Spur auf.Most video tape recorders, especially the home ones, draw the audio signals associated with the video signals on one along the edge of the magnetic tape.

Die Kanten von Magnetbändern können jedoch während des Laufes beschädigt, insbesondere durch übermäßigen Bandzug verformt werden, was zu Pegelveränderungen bei Aufzeichnung und Wiedergabe führt. In extremen Fällen kann sich sogar der magnetische Film vom Träger lösen, so daß sich ein totaler Tonausfall ergibt. Besonders störend treten Pegelschwankungen bei der Aufzeichnung von Stereo-Tonsignalen in Erscheinung, weil es hier zu ungleichmäßigen Pegelveränderungen zwischen den Kanälen kommen kann.However, the edges of magnetic tapes can be damaged during the run, in particular are deformed by excessive tape tension, resulting in level changes during recording and playback. In extreme cases, even the magnetic Detach the film from the carrier so that there is a total loss of sound. Particularly annoying if level fluctuations occur when recording stereo audio signals, because this can lead to uneven level changes between the channels.

Die Videosignalaufzeichnungstechnik ist in letzter Zeit bemerkenswert dadurch verbessert worden, daß die Laufzeiten der Bänder durch Reduzierung der Laufgeschwindigkeiten erheblich gesteigert werden konnten. Diese stark verminderten Laufgeschwindigkeiten haben jedoch dazu geführt, daß sich die Grenzfrequenz für die Aufzeichnung der Tonsignale der oberen Grenze des Hörbarkeitsspektrums angenähert haben. Eine hohe Aufzeichnungsqualität auch der Tonsignale ist jedoch in Anbetracht der Verbesserungen in der Rundfunkübertragungstechnik sehr wichtig geworden. Es ist daher die Gefahr gegeben, daß bezüglich der Tonwiedergabe die magnetische Aufzeichnung das schwächste Glied in der Übertragungskette darstellt.The video signal recording technique is remarkable recently has been improved in that the running times of the tapes by reducing the running speeds could be increased considerably. This greatly reduced running speeds however, have led to the cut-off frequency for the recording of audio signals have approached the upper limit of the audibility spectrum. A high recording quality however, the audio signals are also in view of the improvements in broadcast transmission technology become very important. There is therefore a risk that the sound reproduction magnetic recording is the weakest link in the chain of transmission.

Die vorliegende Erfindung löst die vorgenannten Probleme dadurch, daß die Tonsignale auf Tonspuren aufgezeichnet werden, die zwischen den Videosignalaufzeichnungsspuren liegen, die bei derartigen Magnetbandaufzeichnungen üblicherweise schräg über das Band verlaufen. Ein Magnetbandgerät zur Aufzeichnung und Wiedergabe solcher Video- und Tonsignale weist daher an einer rotierenden Trommel zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegende Videoköpfe und, um 900 versetzt, zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegende Tonköpfe auf. Diese rotierende Trommel zeichnet somit auf dem in einem vorgegebenen Winkel an ihr vorbeigeführten Magnetband schrägverlaufende Spuren auf, wobei sich Videosignalspuren und Audiosignalspuren einander abwechseln.The present invention solves the aforementioned problems by that the sound signals are recorded on sound tracks located between the video signal recording tracks which are usually at an angle over the Tape run. A magnetic tape recorder for recording and playing back such video and sound signals therefore has two diametrically opposed to one another on a rotating drum opposite video heads and, offset by 900, two diametrically opposite each other Tape heads up. This rotating drum thus draws on the in a given Angle on her past magnetic tape obliquely running tracks, whereby Alternate video signal tracks and audio signal tracks.

Vorzugsweise werden die Audiosignale im Pulscodemodulationsverfahren aufgezeichnet. Das PCM-Verfahren schafft nämlich einen hervorragenden Störabstand, so daß der Ton nicht so stark durch Rauschen beeintächtigt wird.The audio signals are preferably generated using the pulse code modulation method recorded. The PCM process creates an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, so that the sound is not affected so much by noise.

Die Erfindung soll nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen näher erläutert werden. Es zeigt: Fig. 1 eine schematische Draufsicht auf die umlaufende Trommel, die die Magnetköpfe trägt, und Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf ein Magnetband mit schrägverlaufenden Videosignal- und Audiosignalspuren.The invention is described below with reference to the drawings are explained in more detail. It shows: FIG. 1 a schematic plan view of the circumferential Drum carrying the magnetic heads; and Fig. 2 is a plan view of a magnetic tape with skewed video signal and audio signal tracks.

Fig. 1 zeigt in Draufsicht eine Magnetköpfe tragende Trommel 1 mit zwei Videoköpfen 2 und 2', die zur Aufnahme und Wiedergabe von Videosignalen bestimmt sind. Diese Videsköpfe 2 und 2' sind diametral einander gegenüberliegend am Umfang der Trommel 1 angeordnet. Um 900 gegenüber den Videoköpfen 2 und 2' versetzt sind am Umfang der Trommel 1 zwei Tonköpfe 3 und 3' angeordnet, die zur Aufnahme und Wiedergabe von Tonsignalen (Audiosignalen) bestimmt sind. Die Audiosignale werden vorzugsweise im PCM-Uerfahren aufgenommen und abgespielt.Fig. 1 shows a top view of a drum 1 carrying magnetic heads two video heads 2 and 2 'intended for recording and reproducing video signals are. These video heads 2 and 2 'are diametrically opposite one another on the circumference the drum 1 arranged. Are offset by 900 with respect to the video heads 2 and 2 ' on the circumference of the drum 1 two heads 3 and 3 'arranged for recording and Playback of sound signals (audio signals) are intended. The audio signals are preferably recorded and played back in PCM process.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Aufzeichnungsspuren auf einem Magnetband, das mit der Trommel nach Fig. 1 bespielt worden ist. Das Magnetband 4 gleitet in einem Winkel gegenüber der Achse der Trommel 1 über deren Umfang mit einer vorgegebenen festen Geschwindigkeit, so daß von dem Videokopf 2 eine Videospur A, vom Tonkopf 3' eine Tonspur B', vom Videokopf 2' eine Videospur A' und vom Tonkopf 3 eine Tonspur B nacheinander auf dem Band 4 aufgezeichnet werden. Danach wiederholt sich die Aufzeichnungsfolge fortlaufend.Fig. 2 shows the recording tracks on a magnetic tape with the drum of Fig. 1 has been recorded. The magnetic tape 4 slides at an angle relative to the axis of the drum 1 over its circumference with a predetermined fixed Speed, so that from the video head 2 a video track A, from the sound head 3 'one Sound track B ', a video track A' from video head 2 'and a sound track B from sound head 3 sequentially recorded on the tape 4. The recording sequence is then repeated ongoing.

Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung werden die Tonsignale nicht längs der Kanten des Magnetbandes aufgezeichnet, sondern, wie die Videosignale, schräg über das Magentband laufend. Auf diese Weise sind Pegelschwankungen oder Tonausfälle, die durch Kantenverformungen oder -zerstörungen des Bandes hervorgerufen werden könnten, vermieden. Darüber hinaus ist der verarbeitbare Tonfrequenzbereich sehr viel größer als bei einer Aufzeichnung längs der Kanten, da die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen Tonkopf und Band sehr groß ist. Unter Zuhilfenahme eines PCM-Verfahrens läßt sich Stereoton mit hoher Qualität aufzeichnen und wiedergeben. Im PCM-Verfahren wird jedes Multiplextonsignal für gemischte Aufzeichnung codiert und wird bei der Wiedergabe abgetrennt und demoduliert, was auf bekannte Weise geschehen kann.According to the present invention, the audio signals do not become longitudinal of the edges of the magnetic tape, but, like the video signals, at an angle running over the magenta band. In this way, level fluctuations or sound dropouts, caused by edge deformation or destruction of the strip could be avoided. In addition, the processable audio frequency range is great much greater than when recording along the edges, since the relative speed between the tape head and tape is very large. With the help of a PCM process high quality stereo sound can be recorded and reproduced. In the PCM process each multiplex sound signal is coded for mixed recording and is used in the Playback separated and demodulated, which can be done in a known way.
