RECORDING OF A TRICK PLAY SIGNAL ON A RECORD CARRIER

摘要

First and second digital information signals are received at the input (111) to a recording system. There is a signal processor which processes (114, 116) the signals into a first recording signal and a first trick play signal, respectively. The signal processor is also adapted to generate synchronising blocks of information. The first trick play signal is recorded at a speed of n-times that of the normal recording speed of the first recording signal, where n is a positive integer larger than one. A time stamp generator (147) supplies time stamps for the information packets of both the first record signal and the first trick play signal. Two write heads (142, 144), having different azimuth angles, are positioned on a rotating head drum (146) so as to record both signals onto a record carrier (140).
