- Decompress and decode with MPEG 2 decoder 25 if the data rate per channel is fixed, the data rate recorded by the recording / reproducing unit 24 will be However, it becomes higher in proportion to the number of channels to be recorded. If the number of rotations of the rotating head of the recording / reproducing unit 24 is fixed, the maximum number of channels that can be recorded is determined by the limitation of the recording wavelength. Coming. Assuming that the maximum number of channels that can be recorded is M (M is a positive integer), if only one channel is recorded, the rotation head It is only necessary to record intermittently at a rate of 1 for every M scans.
- the traveling speed of the magnetic tape is also set to 1 ZM, which is the speed at which the M channel is recorded (hereinafter referred to as the default traveling speed). If so, the pitch of the recording track will be constant.
- a magnetic tape running speed switching unit 24A is installed in the recording playback unit 24 shown in Fig. 2.
- the number of scans of the rotating head is N for every M scans. It is only necessary to record intermittently, and the running speed of the magnetic tape may be set to the default running speed of N / M. In this case, the traveling speed of the magnetic tape does not necessarily have to be constant. For example, for M runs of the rotating head, N runs at the default travel speed, M-N runs stop, and the average is the same as the predetermined speed. It should be N no M.
- the magnetic tape should be run at the same speed as during recording, and playback should be performed intermittently in the same manner.
- the running speed of the magnetic tape at this time is also intermittent running combining the fixed speed and the stop. Is also good.
- the vehicle ran at a constant speed, which is the NZM of the predetermined speed on average, and the same track was reproduced a plurality of times the error of that error was small. You can also use a method that does not use a file.
- the traveling speed of the magnetic tape As described above, by changing the traveling speed of the magnetic tape according to the number of channels to be recorded, the number of channels is reduced. If not, you will get a long time record. Therefore, the magnetic tape can be effectively used.
- the scans to be recorded for each run of the rotating head are represented by ⁇
- the runs not to be recorded are represented by a curve indicated by X, for example:
- X the number of rotations of the rotating head. Therefore, there are two types of patterns, ⁇ ⁇ xxx or ⁇ x ⁇ XX. Therefore, no matter which pattern is selected, the interval between intermittent recordings will not be constant, and the pitch of the recording track will not be constant. .
- N is not a divisor of M, or even if N is a divisor of M, depending on the pattern of the intermittent recording, It is not always possible to set the recording track pitch consistently.
- the intermittent recording is performed every two scans of the rotating head. If the running speed of the magnetic tape is set to 3/6 of the predetermined speed and the speed is constant, the pitch of the recording track will be the predetermined speed. It becomes a j.
- the recording track is recorded intermittently once every MZN rotation scans of the rotating head.
- the pitch will be a fixed default pitch.
- the number N of recording channels is plural.
- the time zone of the set program partially overlaps This is the case. Therefore, it is most probable that the number of recording channels N is 1 and the number of recording channels is the most, and the number decreases as the number of recording channels becomes 2, 3, 4 Go.
- the number of recording channels N is 4 or more.
- N is a divisor of 4 or 5 which is not a divisor of M

- the data sequence for some channels may be re-recorded. In this case, this is wasteful, but it is not a problem in practical use because the probability is small.
- the maximum number of recordable channels M is set to 6, and the number of record channels N is 1, 2, 3, and 6,
- the recording track has no waste, the power of the recording track is fixed, and the pitch of the recording track is fixed.
- the maximum number of recordable channels, M was set to 4.
- N the number of recording channels, in the case of '1, 2 and 4', the recording track is completely useless, ' The pitch of the recording track is fixed.
- the value of the maximum number M of channels that can be recorded is not limited to this, and may be anything other than a prime number.
- the rotating head is used instead of the rotating head.
- the number of rotations may be set to NZM so that it is recorded continuously.
- the number of revolutions of the rotating head may change accordingly. Due to the inertia of the rotating head, it is not possible to change the rotation speed immediately, and the recording operation may be temporarily disturbed. . At this time, the recording operation of the channel being recorded continuously may be disturbed. Therefore, in such a case, it is desirable to make the number of rotations of the rotating head constant and record intermittently.
- an identification signal for identifying the number N of channels to be recorded at the time of recording may be recorded together with the data sequence. .
- This identification signal may be embedded in the data sequence to be recorded, or may be recorded in a location different from the data sequence.
- this identification signal is written in the following number of channels. It is also possible to change to an identification signal corresponding to N and record it. In this way, even if the number of channels changes during playback, the change in the number of recording channels changes because the force is changed beforehand. It is possible to issue a command to change the running speed in time. Therefore, the fear that the ransei image will be disturbed is eliminated.
- Satellites for digital TV broadcasts usually have several transponders. Also, by multiplexing programs of several channels per trans-bonder, a large number of programs can be simultaneously formed by many channels. Sending.
