Head tracking control system for a helical scan vtr

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A video tape recording/reproducing apparatus for reproducing video signals recorded in successive parallel tracks on a magnetic tape which is adapted to be longitudinally advanced, includes first and second magnetic heads movable in a direction generally along the tracks for reproducing signals recorded therein and first, and second bi-morph leaves for mounting the magnetic heads and being operative to deflect the first and second heads, respectively, in a direction transverse to the direction along the tracks. During the scanning operation by the respective heads, the first and second bi-morph leaves are supplied with a dithering signal for wobbling the heads transversely with respect to …
