Abstract

Video disc track numbers are conveyed during each video line by means of data subcarriers present in the recorded stereo audio channels. Upon playback, the data sequence is processed to identify tracking errors occurring within each video field to thereby enable immediate correction of disc tracking errors on a line-by-line basis thus minimizing picture and sound interruption caused by intra-field tracking errors.
