Editing apparatus for separately recording a plurality of information signals along with respective time code signals in slant tracks on a magnetic tape
First Claim
1. A recording and reproducing apparatus for recording, in successive slant tracks on a magnetic tape, at least a first information signal and, thereafter, a second information signal along with respective time code signals which are to represent a continuous time code, comprising:
- tape drive means for driving the magnetic tape in forward and reverse directions;
rotary magnetic transducer means scanning said successive slant tracks on the magnetic tape when the latter is driven in said forward direction and having recording and reproducing modes for selectively recording and reproducing information signals and respective time code signals in said slant tracks being scanned;
control means operative, after the recording of said first information signal and the respective time code signal on said tape, to cause said tape drive means to drive the tape in said reverse direction a predetermined distance and then to drive the tape in said forward direction while said transducing means are in said reproducing mode for reproducing said time code signal recorded with said first information signal;
time code generating means for generating a time code signal to be recorded with said second information signal; and
means for synchronizing said time code signal generated by said time code generating means with said time code signal reproduced along with said first information signal by said transducing means while the tape is driven in said forward direction.

Abstract
In a recording and reproducing or editing apparatus for recording, in successive slant tracks on a magnetic tape, at least a first information signal and, thereafter, a second information signal along with respective time code signals, the time code signal recorded with the first information signal is reproduced therewith prior to the commencement of the recording of the second information signal, and the time code signal to be recorded with the second information signal is synchronized with the reproduced time code signal so that, upon the recording of the second information signal after the first information signal, the respective recorded time code signals represent a continuous time code.
