Abstract:
An apparatus for dubbing information onto a plurality of slave recording mediums, comprising:a plurality of slave recorders each including a rotary drum, heads mounted on the rotary drum at positions spaced from a phase reference position on the rotary drum by different angular intervals respectively, and means for selecting at least one from the heads as an active head in accordance with a designated recording mode selected from among different recording modes; means for delaying non-delayed stream data by a delay time interval depending on the designated recording mode to form delayed stream data; and a distributor for distributing the delayed stream data to the slave recorders, wherein each of the slave recorders records the delayed stream data on a slave recording medium by the active head; wherein the delay time Interval corresponds to the angular interval between the phase reference position and the position of the active head.
