TIME-COMPRESSED CHROMINANCE SIGNAL RECORDING SYSTEM

摘要

In a magnetic reproducing apparatus for reproducing a luminance signal and timebase-compressed chrominance component signals recorded on separate tracks of a record medium, the reproduced chrominance component signals are directly supplied to a timebase expander and this timebase expander uses a reference clock which reference clock is employed in the timebase correction of the luminance signal and frequency-divided by the timebase compression ratio whereby to perform the timebase expansion and the timebase correction at the same time. Thus, it is not necessary that the timebase correction and the timebase expansion are performed by separate circuits and this leads to a simple circuit arrangement.
