Abstract

Some of the essential technology for record/playback systems in professional HDTV digital recorders is described. The full bandwidths of 1125/60 HDTV signals (30 MHz for luminance and 15 MHz each for the two color difference signals) were recorded. An 8-8 mapping channel code and integrated detection were used. A special phase locked loop (PLL) to cope with picture search functions was developed. At the high data rate of 148.5 Mb/s per channel and the high linear density of 0.345 μm per bit, the recorder operates with a word error rate of less than 10^-4
