Title: Katsuya Yasutake: Innovator in Capstan Servo Systems

Introduction

Katsuya Yasutake is a notable inventor based in Yokohama, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of recording and reproducing apparatuses, particularly through his innovative work on capstan servo systems. His expertise has led to advancements that enhance the quality and reliability of video signal processing.

Latest Patents

Yasutake holds a patent for a capstan servo system in a recording and/or reproducing apparatus. This system is designed to handle video signals from both the NTSC and CCIR systems, accommodating frame frequencies of 30 Hz and 25 Hz, respectively. The capstan servo system effectively detects the rotation of a capstan that drives the tape, producing an output frequency that is divided. A reference signal is generated, corresponding to the frame frequency of the video signal being recorded or reproduced. The system employs phase comparison between the frequency-divided signal and the reference signal to ensure accurate motor control for the capstan's rotation. The detection circuit outputs a signal with a frequency of 150·M Hz, where M is a positive integer, and allows for frequency division with selected ratios of 1/5M or 1/6M.
