Apparatus for recording displayed video data

摘要

Apparatus for recording a displayed frame of video data by storing the binary data bits from identical segments of each video scan line, thereafter supplying the stored bits of the segments to a traversing matrix print head for recording the bits in those segments, and repeating the process with data bits from a different series of scan line segments. The number of data bits comprising a segment usually corresponds to the number of recording elements in the print head, and the number of print head excursions will vary inversely to the number of data bits in each segment. A resulting recorded video frame thus appears rotated 90 DEG with respect to the original frame orientation.
