Show moreOne embodiment of video transducing system supplies a reproduced video signal with compensated amplitude response so as to exhibit a substantial phase advance for recorded half wavelengths less than the thickness of the magnetizable layer, and a phase correcting network is inserted between the playback winding and the playback amplifier. In a further embodiment, amplitude and phase are partially compensated such that there is a substantial amplitude fall off and a moderate phase advance at the highest frequencies of the useful range, and such that the leading edge of a step function when played back has an overshoot of approximately one to six decibels.
