Digital Video Recording: New Results in Channel Coding and Error Protection

Jurgen K. R. Heitmann

Standardization of a magnetic track pattern on videotape ensures mechanical compatibility. To achieve electrical compatibility, it is necessary to specify the location of the video bits within the track, the channel code, and the type of error protection. This article discusses these parameters, including the number of recording channels, with the objective of achieving an economical digital videotape recorder.
