  • Patent number: 4025958
    Abstract: Video signals are transferred from a phonograph record or low speed magnetic tape and stored on a magnetic sheet disc rotating at low speed. The magnetic sheet disc is then rotated at high speed to output the video signals to a television display or the like. In the invention, clock signals representing equal intervals of time are provided with the video signals on the phonograph record or low speed magnetic tape. The signals are picked up when the record or tape is rotated and the frequency thereof is analogous to the instantaneous rotational speed of the record or tape drive motor. The video is stored on the magnetic sheet disc by a write head. The magnetic sheet disc is provided withreference marks which are sensed when the magnetic sheet disc is rotated and the frequency thereof is analogous to the instantaneous rotational speed of the disc relative to the write head. The two frequencies are compared.
