Servo apparatus and method for high speed reproduction in digital video cassette recorders

摘要

A servo apparatus for high speed reproduction in a digital video tape player includes one or more heads (91) and uses a helically scanned video tape (150) on which highly efficient coded video data is recorded in the same manner as being divisionally recorded at positions via which the head (91) travels when intra-coded video data among the highly efficient coded video data is reproduced at a high speed. The servo apparatus includes a head drum motor (90) for rotating the head (91) at a constant speed according to high speed reproduction and outputting a signal related to the rotation of the head, a capstan motor (100) for transferring the video tape (150) and outputting a signal related to the transfer of the video tape (150), a vertical position detector (10) for generating vertical position data of the head (91) with respect to the video tape (150) by using the signal output from the head drum motor (90) and a system clock, a horizontal position detector (20) for generating horizontal position data of the head (91) with respect to the video tape (150) by using the signals read from the video tape (150) by the head (91), a head trajectory controller (30) for generating a speed varying signal so that the head (91) traces at positions on which the intra-coded video data is recorded by using the vertical position data generated by the vertical position detector (10) and the horizontal position data generated by the horizontal position detector (20) and prestored head trajectory information for the high speed reproduction, and a capstan servo unit (60) which receives the speed varying signal of the head trajectory controller (30) and the output signal of the capstan motor (100), to control a rotational speed of the capstan motor (100).
