The magnetic video disc recorder/player has a direct drive motor and in line heads access adjacent tracks under the control of a central unit. Signals are amplified and passed through a level detector and comparator. A demodulator and delay stage provides an output to the monitor. Synchronising signals are identified by a separating stage.Selectors are used to provide inputs to the controller for the selection of half frame or full frame recording. The selector outputs are coupled to the central controller and allow the speed of recording to be adjusted to suit the mode selected
