Abstract
To position a cue location on a video tape to a scanner so that the information stored at the cue location can read by a transducer. The video tape is transported so that when the cue location arrives at the scanner, the tape is moving at a selectable desired velocity. A synchronous cueing function is also provided for, in which the cue location is advanced at the rate of the desired velocity during to cueing operation to allow the positioning to be synchronized with other devices when the cue operation is completed.
