Written on in English with a size of 2.42 KB

Magnetic Recording Fundamentals

  • Helical Recording: Uses an A/D recorder with high head-to-tape speed to record video signals. The tape information is shaped according to the selected format.
  • Hysteresis: The impact of an external field depends on the tape's prior magnetic state. The magnetization curve is characterized by reversible and non-reversible areas; linear areas are ideal for registration.
  • Polarization: Bias is used to solve non-linear polarization issues. High-frequency audio signals are added to analog signals to utilize the linear portion of the curve.
  • Equalizer: Performs amplitude correction using a complementary curve. (Audio: 10 octaves, Video: 18 octaves).
  • Azimuth: High-density recording systems use azimuth recording for A/D signals.
