Abstract

A slow motion reproducing apparatus in which a dynamic tracking head dynamically traces slant recording tracks sequentially formed on a tape in its longitudinal direction while the tape is transported at variable tape speed to thereby reproduce a video signal from the recording tracks is disclosed, which includes head displacement amount specifying means for specifying a head displacement amount so as to make the dynamic tracking head trace the specified track on the basis of a tracking track information for specifying a track that the dynamic tracking head should trace and a head position information indicative of the position of the dynamic tracking head. In this case, the slow motion reproducing apparatus further includes video signal data storing means and address control means for storing in the video signal data storing means at its memory area corresponding to a corresponding track a video signal which can be reproduced from the corresponding track and which is recorded in the track that the dynamic tracking head traces.
