Show moreA video disc record having a spiral video record track which can provide reproduced video signals with a desired frame rate such as thirty frames per second while the disc record is rotated at a very low speed such as two revolutions per minute. A preferred transducer machine uses a pulsed light source to supply successive light images to a video camera readout. Control signals are recorded on helical control tracks so that reproduction thereof facilitates the generation of a desired standard video signal from the video camera.
