Abstract

See full text

The beginning of a segment within a track of a record carrier, having a plurality of frames in each segment, is identified by detecting the presence of a control mark at a given position near the beginning of a frame, and the absence of a control mark at an adjoining position at which a control mark will be found in all other frames of the segment. The other frames of each segment are free from a mark at the given position. The next bit position containing a mark, after the given position and its adjoining position, is the clock bit position used for bit clock synchronization. An apparatus for reading these marks may include a qualification circuit for evaluating the magnitude of the difference in detector output at the given bit position and the adjoining bit position.
