Abstract
A portable video tape recorder for broadcasting applications comprises a pair of video heads mounted diametrically opposite to each other on the circumference of a rotary cylinder. High and low frequency carriers are modulated by frequency modulators with I and Q signals, respectively, and frequency division multiplexed for application to the video heads. The frequency values of the carriers are selected so that third-order distortion noise caused by the hysteresis characteristics of the video heads and the magnetic tape may fall within a frequency range differing from the frequencies of the modulated carriers by an amount greater than the bandwidth of the I and Q signals which are demodulated by frequency demodulators to prevent the occurrence of beat interference in the frequency band of the reproduced video signal.
