The Recorder's Design and Economic Factors

A new broadcast recorder (Fig. 1) is described with the technical reasoning leading to the choice of a 180°-wrap, two-head, segmented video format and the practical and economic benefits derived therefrom. The choice of segmentation schedule clearly demonstrates a subjective integration of saturation and hue variation between heads. Carrier frequency selection as well as writing speed are discussed in terms of performance objectives. Special problems arising from the use of ferrite heads are presented along with the solutions. Special features and descriptions of some of the circuits employed are included.
