METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECORDING DIGITIZED INFORMATION ON A RECORD MEDIUM

摘要

A channel of digitized information is recorded in a selected number of data tracks by a recording medium. The digitized information is encoded, modulated and then recorded in a predetermined number of tracks. A control signal is generated to include control data representing at least one of the followings, a) the number of data tracks in which each channel of digitized information is recorded, b) the encoding scheme used to encode the information, c) the type of modulation used to modulate the encoded information and d) the relative speed of movement of the recording medium.
