Arrangement for recording a digital signal in a track on a magnetic record carrier

Claim 1

An arrangement for recording a first digital signal, for example a subcode signal, a second digital signal, for example a digital audio signal, and a third digital signal, for example a video signal, in tracks on a magnetic record carrier, on which record carrier the tracks extend parallel to each other and at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of said record carrier, the first digital signal being recorded in a first track portion (TP1), the second digital signal being recorded in a second track portion (TP2), and the third digital signal being recorded in a third track portion (TP3) of the tracks, which arrangement comprises an input terminal for receiving the first digital signal, an input terminal for receiving the second digital signal, an input terminal for receiving the third digital signal, and recording means for recording the first, the second and the third digital signal in the first, the second and the third track portion respectively, which first, second and third track portions are separated from one another by means of an edit gap (G₃, G₄), characterized in that the recording means are adapted to record the first, the second and the third digital signal in the first, second and third track portions in such a manner that, viewed in a direction from the beginning towards the end of the track the first, the second and the third digital signal are recorded in this sequence in the first, the second and the third track portion respectively, and the length of the third track portion is greater than the length of the second track portion.
