Abstract

Apparatus for recording and play back of radar video employs a conventional TV video recorder. A multiplexer accepts radar timing signals, synchro data definitive of azimuth, a 60 Hz. reference as well as radar video and formats the signals for recording. A demultiplexer accepts video signals formatted as above, from the conventional video recorder and reformats the signals to drive a conventional PPI display. The video recorder is unmodified so conventional TV video can also be recorded or played back, interspersed, if desired, with the radar video.
