A signal processing circuit divides a digitized video signal such that each horizontal scan interval thereof contains a plurality of data blocks, and a signal distributing circuit distributes the blocks of the digitized video data sequentially to the magnetic heads, so that every nth block of each horizontal scan interval is distributed to a respective one of the heads, where n is an even integer. Preferably, there are eight blocks in each horizontal scan interval, and every fourth block is distributed to a respective head.
