Magnetic video signal reproducing apparatus with correction of phase rotation

摘要

An apparatus for reproducing video signals from a magnetic recording medium using first and second magnetic heads mutually having different azimuth angles. Here, the video signal is obtained by frequency-multiplexing of a low frequency-converted chrominance signal which is obtained by converting into a low frequency range and phase rotation of a chrominance signal per horizontal scanning period, and a modulated luminance signal, and recorded in the magnetic recording medium. One of video signals picked up by the magnetic heads is selected to obtain a chain of reproduced video signal. Discontinuity is detected if there is in the phase rotation of the low frequency-converted chrominance signal in the reproduced video signal. The low frequency-converted chrominance signal in the reproduced video signal is reconverted into a high frequency range chrominance signal having no phase rotation. The phase rotation of the low frequency-converted chrominance signal in the reproduced video signal is forcibly corrected when the discontinuity is detected in the phase rotation.
