An apparatus for generating a recording time code signal having a time code data signal generator and a time code signal forming circuit which is supplied with a time code data signal from the time code data signal generator and produces a recording time code signal consisting of bi-phase coded signals, in which the above recording time code signal is corresponded to an information signal and then recorded on a recording medium continuously at word unit. In this case, the polarity of a specific bit signal of a fixed binary bit or value in the above recording time code signal of word unit is discriminated, and a changing circuit is provided in the time code signal forming circuit which changing circuit changes the above fixed binary bit in accordance with the polarity of the specific bit signal. Thus, a recording time code signal of word unit, which has a constant polarity of bit signals after the above specific bit signal, is derived from the time code signal forming circuit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim as my invention: 1.
An apparatus for generating a recording time code signal comprising: a time code data signal generator for generating successive multi-bit binary time code data signals; a time code signal forming circuit which is supplied with said successive time code data signals for producing corresponding successive recording time code signals, each consisting of a multi-bit bi-phase code signal which, at any given time, has one of two signal levels and in which the value of each bit is represented by the number of transitions between said signal levels during a bit interval; and means provided in said time code signal forming circuit for detecting which of said signal levels said bi-phase coded signal has during a predetermined binary bit in each of said successive recording time code signals and for causing said predetermined bit to maintain its signal level if said detected signal level is a first of said signal levels and otherwise to change its signal level, so that a bit immediately following said predetermined bit within each of said successive recording time code signals starts with a transition to a predetermined one of said two signal levels.
2.
An apparatus for generating a recording time code signal according to claim 1 further including mean for presetting said time code data signal generator in accordance with a given time code.
3.
An apparatus for generating a recording time code signal as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for detecting includes a detector for detecting which of said two signal levels said bi-phase coded signal has at the beginning of said predetermined binary bit.




Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to apparatus for generating coded characters and, more particularly, to such apparatus wherein a bi-phase coded character is generated having a constant relation between the phases at the beginning and end of each coded character regardless of the number of "1" s and "0" s included in that character
