Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for providing full frame reproduction, i.e., the reproducing of two consecutive video fields, during a still frame or stop action mode in a recording and reproducing apparatus of the type which utilizes transverse positioning of the transducing head to accurately follow a track during reproducing, and at the completion of the reproduction from the track, to properly position the head to either reproduce the next desired track or to again reproduce the same track. The present invention has the capability of reproducing two consecutive fields to obtain full frame picture resolution in the video display in the manner whereby the transducing head which is carried by a movable element is maintained relatively centered within its dynamic range so as to minimize the possibility of picture break-up due to mistracking.
