Video head deflection apparatus for special motion reproduction by helical scan VTR

摘要

An improved video head deflection apparatus for special speed motion reproduction by a helical scan video tape recorder. The rotary head of the recorder is mounted so that it is displaceable in a direction perpendicular to its path of rotation. The deflection apparatus includes a coil assembly and a magnetic element, one of which is fixedly mounted, the other of which is mounted to the rotating head. The coil and magnetic element are used to deflect the head when the coil is electrically energized.
