  • sampling said color video signal at a frequency which is four times the color sub-carrier frequency of the color video signal;

    converting the sampled color video signal into digitized form;

    alternately separating consecutive ones of the digitized samples into a first odd block and a second even block; and

    recording respective groupings of successive digitized samples from said first odd block in alternate ones of said plurality of parallel tracks and respective groupings of successive digitized samples from said second even block in the remaining alternate ones of said plurality of parallel tracks.
