Abstract
A VTR incorporating a video printing controller comprising at least one rotary magnetic head for scanning recording tracks formed on a magnetic tape to reproduce a video signal recorded on a recording track specified by a marker signal, a marker signal detector for detecting the marker signal specifying the recording track carrying the video signal to be printed, and a system controller connected to the marker signal detector and to a video printer connected to the VTR. The system controller gives a video printer control signal to the video printer upon receipt of a marker signal detection signal from the marker signal detector to control the video printer for printing out in a hard copy the video image reproduced from the recording track specified by the marker signal. Thus, the recording track storing the video image desired to be printed is located automatically by searching the recording tracks for the marker signal, and then the desired video signal is printed out automatically.
