  • the present applicant prototyped a digital VTR with a track pitch of 15 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ m and a shortest wavelength of 0.5 ⁇ m in 1988 using 8 marauding ME tapes. At this time, recording and reproduction were performed by rotating this drum at 60 rpm using a rotary drum having a diameter of 40 mm. In this system, a C / N of 51 dB was obtained for a recording wavelength of 1 m. Bit 'Erare bets of the system was 4 X 1 0 one 5.
  • the recording density can be increased, and long-time recording and reproduction can be performed using a small cassette. Also, since the diameter of the rotating drum is small, the size of the mechanism can be reduced. 93

Abstract

Un dispositif d'enregistrement de signaux d'image numériques possède un circuit destiné à convertir les signaux d'image numériques d'entrée en blocs de données comprenant une pluralité de données d'éléments d'image, un circuit de codage qui code le signal de sortie du circuit convertisseur en données comprimées pour chaque bloc, et un circuit de codage de canal qui code les données sortant du circuit de codage. Les données sortant du circuit de codage de canal sont enregistrées sur une bande magnétique au moyen de têtes magnétiques montées sur un cylindre rotatif. Dans le dispositif présenté, le pas des pistes formées sur la bande magnétique par les têtes magnétiques est de 5,5 νm ou plus petit, et la longueur de piste par temps unitaire correspond à une valeur prédéterminée grâce à un réglage de la vitesse de rotation du cylindre rotatif à 150 tr/s ou plus. Ainsi, on peut avoir un long temps d'enregistrement avec un mécanisme de petite taille et, en outre, l'erreur par rapport à la linéarité de la piste peut être réduite.
