Definitions

  • the invention relates to a longitudinal record carrier having a first and a second tracking signal of specific frequencies recorded in respective first and second tracks running in the longitudinal direction of the record carrier, to a method for producing such a record carrier, to an apparatus for recording an information signal on such record carrier and to an apparatus for reading the info ⁇ nation signal from said record carrier.
  • a record carrier as defined in the opening paragraph is known from USP 4,318,141, document Dl in the list of documents given at the end of this specification.
  • the tracking signals are prerecorded deeply in tracks lying side-by-side to each other on the record carrier.
  • the information signal is recorded in a third track which lies exactly half over the first track and half over the second track.
  • the invention aims at providing specific marks for indicating the lead-in and the lead-out area of the record carrier.
  • the record carrier in accordance with the invention is characterized in that a lead-in portion of the record carrier is provided with a lead-in mark indicating a start end of the record carrier, a lead-out portion of the record carrier being pro ⁇ vided with a lead-out mark indicating the final end of the record carrier, the lead-in mark being obtained by modifying at least one of the first and second tracking signals such that the specific frequency of the said at least one of the first and second tracking signals remains substantially unchanged, the lead-out mark being obtained by modifying at least one of the first and second tracking signals such that the specific frequency of the said at least one of the first and second tracking signals remains substantially unchanged.
  • the record carrier is characterized in that the lead-in mark is obtained by modifying the duty cycle of the said at least one of the first and second tracking signals in said lead-in portion and that the lead-out mark is obtained by modifying the duty cycle of the said at least one of the first and second tracking signals in said lead-out portion.
  • the invention is based on the following recognition.
  • the start end and the final end of the record carrier are indicated by marks on the record carrier.
  • the record carrier is mounted on two reels in a cassette without being mechanically fastened to those reels. So, when the record carrier would be transported too far in one direction, one runs the risk that the record carrier is completely threaded from the reel, which is unwanted.
  • the marks are provided in order to detect an approach of one end of the record carrier, so that the transport of the record carrier can be halted, or reversed in direction.
  • the marks can be in the form of a conductive strip on the record carrier. Such conductive strips on the record carrier make it impossible to record information on that portions of the record carrier on which the conductive strips are mounted.
  • the tracking signals are also recorded in the lead-in and the lead-out portions of the record carrier and marks are recorded on the record carrier in the form of a magnetic pattern. More specifically, the marks are realized by modifying the at least one of the first and the second tracking signals. As a result, the tracking frequencies in the lead-in portion and the lead-out portion of the record carrier function as tracking signals and also function, as modified, as marks.
  • the tracking frequencies are different in USP 4,318,141.
  • the specific frequencies of the first and second tracking signals are substantially the same and the first and second tracking signals differ in phase.
  • a recording apparatus in accordance with the invention will be capable of recording an information signal on the record carrier, where the information signal can also be recorded in at least a part of the lead-in portion and the lead-out portion of the record carrier.
  • a reproducing apparatus in accordance with the invention will be capable of reproducing the information signal from the record carrier, where the information signal can also be reproduced from said at least a part of the lead-in portion and the lead-out portion of the record carrier.
  • tracking signals having the same frequency but different phase are known from USP 4,056,832, document D2 in the list of related documents.
  • publication 'Different marks for indicating and detecting the beginning and end of a tape' in Research Disclosure, October 1991, p. 726, document D3 in the list of related documents discloses the use of a magnetic signal as marks. In both cases, however, there is no indication of a modification of tracking signals in a lead-in or a lead-out portion.
  • a tracking signal is modified, e.g. by changing the duty cycle. It may be possible to change the duty cycle even within the lead-in or the lead-out area, e.g. to indicate the portion of the lead-in and the lead-out area in which an information signal can be recorded. Such portions will thus adjoin the data area of the record carrier.
  • the change in duty cycle within the lead-in and lead-out areas could be considered as begin-of-data and end-of-data markers.

The tracks run parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the record carrier. A first tracking signal s has been recorded in the track T t . A second tracking signal s 2 has been recorded in the track T 2 . A third tracking signal s 3 has been recorded in the track T 3 . An n-th tracking signal s n has been recorded in the track T n .
  • the tracking signals are signals of relatively low frequency, compared to the frequency components of the information signal that will be recorded later on the record carrier. As the frequency of the tracking signals is relatively low, those tracking signals will be (have been) recorded deeply in the record carrier so that a later recording of the informa ⁇ tion signal will not result in an erasing of the tracking signals.
  • the tracking signals in two neighbouring tracks may have different frequencies. Preferably, however, the tracking signals have the same frequency and tracking signals in neighbouring tracks have a different phase. More specifically, the phase difference between the tracking signals of adjacent tracks is 180°.

  • the tracking signals in the lead-out portion are modified in the same way.
  • the modification in the lead-in portion may be different from the modification in the lead-out portion to make a distinction between the lead-in portion and the lead-out portion possible.

  • Figure 3 shows an example of a tracking signal as recorded in a track, having a change in duty cycle to identify a lead-in portion.
  • Figure 3 shows the behaviour of the tracking signal around the right boundary of the lead-in portion of figure 2, that is: around the line ⁇ l in figure 2.
  • Figure 3 shows a tracking signal in the form of a sinusoid having a specific frequency. This is shown at the right of the line 1, .
  • the duty cycle of the sinusoid is 1/2, as usual for a normal sinusoid.
  • the duty cycle has changed from the value of 1/2 to a value of x, where x is a value smaller than one. x may have a value of 1/3, as an example.
  • the frequency of the tracking signal has not changed.
  • Figure 4 shows the behaviour of the tracking signal around the left boundary of the lead-out portion of figure 2, that is: around the line 1 2 in figure 2.
  • Figure 4 shows a tracking signal in the form of a sinusoid having a specific frequency, as in figure 3. This is shown at the left of the line 1 2 .
  • the duty cycle of the sinusoid is again 1/2.
  • the duty cycle has changed from the value of 1/2 to a value of y, where y is a value smaller than one.
  • x may have a value of 2/3, as an example. Again, the frequency of the signal has not changed.
  • the change in duty cycle is different for the lead-in portion and for the lead-out portion.
  • the modified tracking signals in the lead-in and the lead-out portions are such that they can still be used as tracking signals, for the reason that the frequency and the phase relationship of the tracking signals has remained the same. Moreover, the modification of the tracking signals can be detected, so that it can be established that the head is located on the lead-in or the lead-out portion, of the record carrier.
  • the figures 3 and 4 thus show the tracking signal recorded in one of the tracks on the record carrier, such as the first tracking signal recorded in the track T l of figure 1 and 2. In a neighbouring track, another tracking frequency is recorded, such as the second tracking frequency in the track T 2 .
  • This second tracking frequency can have the same shape as the first tracking frequency shown in the figures 3 and 4, but with an opposite polarity (or: the two tracking frequencies have a phase difference of 180°).
  • Figure 5 shows schematically an embodiment of an apparatus for producing a prerecorded longitudinal record carrier as described above with reference to the figures 1 to 4. More specifically, figure 5 shows an embodiment for generating the tracking frequency of the figures 3 and 4 for one track and a tracking signal of inverse polarity for a neighbouring track.

Abstract

Identification des régions d'entrée et de sortie d'un support d'enregistrement longitudinal (2), utilisant des marques sous la forme d'une modification des signaux de centrage (s1, s2) enregistrés dans les pistes (T1, T2). Cette identification se fait de telle sorte que les fréquences des signaux de centrage restent inchangées dans la région d'entrée et la région de sortie. La modification permet d'utiliser les signaux de centrage de la région d'entrée et de la région de sortie pour enregistrer un signal d'information même dans une partie de la région d'entrée et de la région de sortie. La modification peut être effectuée par la variation du cycle d'utilisation des signaux de centrage.
