WHAT
IS BETA HI-FI
RECORDINQ?
In conventlonal recordlng, audlo signals are recorded
on the audlo track and video slanals on the video track.
In Beta hl-fl recording, audio sl&als are recorded on the
video track together with the video signals uslng 2
rotary vldeo heads.
The Beta hi-fi audio slgnals are frequency-modulated
and recorded on 2 channels, so that you can record a
etereo program with sound quallty far superior to that of
the conventlonal audlo recordlng.
