摘要:
A video disc player is described for use with a video disc having frequency modulated video information recorded thereon in the form of a plurality of concentric circles or a single spiral. The information track comprises successively positioned light reflective and light non-reflective regions. A focused light beam is caused to be positioned over the center of an information track and the light reflected from the information track is gathered by an objective lens for application to electronic circuitry for recovering the recorded frequency modulated video signals. Radial tracking means are described for maintaining the focused light spot to impinge upon the center of an information track. Lens focusing means are described for positioning the objective lens at the optimum focused position above the information track for gathering the maximum amount of reflected light from the information track. FM processing means are described for reconstructing the recovered frequency modulated video information such that the ratio between the amplitude of the signals as recorded is essentially the same in the signals as recovered from the video disc member. Further servo means are described for handling the selective change of the intersection of the reading beam with the video disc member in a predetermined preferred mode of operation.

A time base correction apparatus is provided for use with a system for reproducing signals recorded on a recording medium. A first drive unit which rotates the recording medium is driven by a first control unit which receives a reference signal and controls the first drive unit to rotate the recording medium in phase synchronization with the reference signal. The high frequency component of the time base variation is corrected by a second drive unit which moves a transducer, which reproduces a signal from the recording medium, from one scanning position to another relative to the recording medium in a reverse direction of the signal track of the recording medium.
摘要:
Recording and playback optical scanners are relatively movable with respect to each other and with respect to a movable recording medium such as reel of tape adapted for recording variations in applied light. The playback scanner reproduces recorded information at a time delayed with respect to the time of recording, wherein the amount of delay can vary within wide limits. When the playback scanner is moved relative to recording scanner, the playback rate will be faster or slower than the recording rate.
摘要:
The burst component of a video signal recovered from a video disc record is applied to a timebase correction servo for controlling the tangential position of the player pick-up transducer in a sense to minimize timebase errors. The record is rotated at a constant angular velocity whereby, for a given displacement of the pick-up transducer, the servo loop gain tends to vary with the radial position of the transducer which, in turn, undesirably influences the servo sensitivity and dynamic stability. A loop gain compensator, responsive to a second component of the recovered video signal proportional to the playing time of the disc, regulates the servo gain at a substantially constant value thereby improving the loop stability and sensitivity.

A video signal playback device derives video signals from a track on a video disc using a light source and an optical path to a lens system which is supported by an air bearing at a predetermined spacing from the surface of the disc. The optical path includes a mirror which is articulated for rotational motion about an axis which shifts the point of impingement of the transmitted light beam upon the disc in the radial direction. The returned beam is directed to a single photosensitive pick-up which, provides input signals to a circuit which generates a ''''fine'''' servo control signal to drive the articulated mirror. The air bearing member includes apparatus providing a bias force that varies with the radial displacement of the transducer assembly relative to the disc center.

A hologram recording apparatus includes a rotating mechanism for rotating a hologram recording medium, a first light source for emitting first laser light, a modulator for modulating the intensity of the emitted first laser light to record a hologram on the hologram recording medium, a second light source for emitting second laser light with which a predetermined signal pattern is read from the rotating hologram recording medium, and a controller operable to exert control on the basis of the read signal pattern so that the intensity of the first laser light is modulated by the modulator while the first laser light is being oscillated and so that a beam spot of the first laser light is applied onto the hologram recording medium in periods in which the relative velocity between the target recording region and the beam spot becomes almost zero.

A power saving system of an optical recording/reproducing apparatus is provided. The optical recording/reproducing apparatus includes a temporal memory which stores reproduced data or recording data in a cyclic data storage stage and from which the stored data is read out for reproduction or recording in a cyclic data readout stage following the data storage stage. The power saving system saves part of power consumed in the apparatus in the data storage stage in a record mode of operation and in the data readout stage in a reproduce mode of operation.
