Apparatus for recording additional video signals in a helical scan operation

摘要

A video signal recording apparatus of the type that records a coded audio signal through time division relative to a video signal at one extended end of each of oblique tracks formed on a magnetic tape by helical scanning. The apparatus comprises a circuit for recording a coded video signal in the track region where a coded audio signal is recorded, and a circuit for recording identification data to discriminate between the coded audio signal and the coded video signal on the magnetic tape or recording control data thereon to control playback modes of the recorded signals.
