Abstract

A recording system converts standard binary signals into new binary signals that have mostly zeroes occurring in words that are physically unrealizable. Thus when NRZ-I recording is used, long strings of zeroes (which have no transitions in them for easy detection) do not actually occur. Ones do have transitions in them for easy detection, and thus a long string of ones causes no detection problem. The physically unrealizable combinations occur due to the partial correlations of signals, such as Y, B-Y, and R-Y color signals.
