Abstract

Le mode opératoire d'un magnétoscope est rendu plus aisé grâce à un décodeur à intervalle de suppression de trame, qui décode des informations telles que l'intitulé, le canal, la date, l'heure et la durée de programmes émis, et grâce à l'utilisation de ce type d'informations pour créer un répertoire des programmes, de même que pour piloter les magnétoscopes. Le magnétoscope est également pourvu d'un codeur à intervalle de suppression de trame pour introduire les informations de commande ainsi que les informations de répertoire dans la bande, soit dans les parties à intervalle de suppression de trame de la piste vidéo, soit dans la piste d'asservissement.
