SLOW MOTION EFFECT USING LONGITUDINAL RECORDING AND FORWARD/REVERSE TAPE TRANSPORTATION

摘要

Longitudinal recording apparatus for producing a slow motion display of scene information that has been recorded on a magnetic recording medium is disclosed. In accordance with a presently preferred embodiment, the recording medium is periodically transported in accordance with either a forward or reverse transport cycle during which a frame of scene information is played back from the recording medium and stored in a frame storage device for repeated display on a video monitor. Transportation of the recording medium in accordance with successive forward transport cycles results in a forward slow motion display of scene information, while successive reverse transport cycles result in a reverse slow motion display of scene information.
