[net.video] VHS/BETA Recording Formats

hazard@ihuxe.UUCP (01/24/84)

I recall reading an article in some magazine (about six months ago)
which documented the recording format for both VHS and BETA.
The article had drawings of the tape showing how the sound, video,
and control tracks were positioned on the tape. It also described
azimuth reversal (I think that's what it was) used to prevent video
cross talk between adjacent helical scans.
The article described how the super Hi-Fi sound was to be encoded
for each tape format (it even defined the modulation frequencies).

If any of you remember this article, would you please
state the magazine name and issue so that I can find it again?

Thanks,
Bryant S. Hazard
