Synthetic control track signal producing apparatus for video tape machines

摘要

A synthetic control track signal is provided for a magnetic video tape recording and/or reproducing machine having a motor driven capstan and capstan servo which controls the speed of the tape during recording and reproducing. The synthetic signal enables the capstan servo to operate when the control track signal has not been recorded or has been improperly recorded. The synthetic signal is generated from vertical synchronization information extracted from the video information extracted signal.
