Abstract :
A prototype of a digital VCR for ATV (advanced television) has been developed. This VCR records the compressed digital HDTV (high-definition television) signal of the ATV system. The total recording bit rate is 36.8 Mb/s (18.4 Mb/s per channel), and the maximum recording time is 4 h with oxide tape. Thus, it is confirmed that it is possible to produce a low-cost consumer digital VCR for ATV with current VCR technology
