EINRICHTUNG ZUR WIEDERGABE DIGITALER MEHRKANAL-SIGNALE

摘要

Digital information such as video signals is reproduced from a recording medium, e.g. a magnetic tape, having a plurality of parallel tracks as n-channel (n>2) digital signals. The n-channel digital signals are reproduced by n-reproducing heads H1-H8. The digital information contained in the reproduced signals is stored in a storage means 52. Discriminating data is obtained for determining which of the n-channel digital signals is reproduced by each reproducing heads. The timing of an access means, accessing the storage means for processing of the digital signals stored in the storage means relative to the reproducing timing of the digital information reproduced by the n-reproducing heads, is controlled in accordance with the discriminating data. Discriminating the reproduced digital signals in this way allows any of the n-reproducing heads to read any of the n channels. <IMAGE>
