7、irection of tape motion shown, the magnetic coating is on the surface facing the observer. 5 Frame pulse 5.1 A pulse to identify the position of the vertical synchronizing pulse shall be superimposed on the tracking-control signal. 5.2 One pulse shall be recorded per television frame to identify the

8、 vertical blanking interval that is preceded by a full horizontal line when the tape is recorded at 15 in/s (381 mm/s) and to identify the vertical blanking interval that is pre- ceded by a half horizontal line when the tape is recorded at 7.5 inls (190.5 mmls) (see annex A.l). To assist in certain

9、restricted types of color editing, alternate frame pulses may be omitted. Since omis- sion of alternate frame pulses may result in slightly lengthened lock-up time in tape replay, users may wish to obtain prior agreement before distributing such tapes. 5.3 The pulse shall be positioned so that the c

10、enterline of the recorded pulse and the extended centerline of the area between the second and third video tracks after the track containing the vertical synchronizing pulse shall intersect within 2 0.002 in (k 0.05 mm) at the reference edge of the tape when the recording is made at 15 in/s tape spe

15、 the recording head shall be such that the tape is driven to the verge of saturation. This amplitude can be established by the method described in annex A.3. 6.3 The tracking-control signal shall be posi- tioned so that a point of maximum record current and the extended centerline of the area betwee

16、n the second and third video tracks after the track containing the vertical synchronizing pulse shall coincide within 2 0.001 in (. 0.03 mm) at the reference edge of the tape when the recording is made at 15 in/s tape speed.

18、coin- ciding with the frame pulse shall be one that immediately follows an area on the control record to which a south-seeking pole of a com- pass will be attracted. 6.5 The wave shape of the tracking-control signal current in the record head should be sinusoidal.

19、 A (informative) Additional data A.l In present practice. this pulse is derived from the vertical sync signal that is preceded by a half horizontal line for both the 15 ink case and the 7.5 in/s case. The placement on the tape specified by 5.2 is a consequence of the displacement between the video h

20、ead wheel and the control track head which records this pulse. A2 Recordings made in accordance with this frame pulse specification will reproduce satisfactorily on equipment presently in use without requiring equipment modification. However, modification of existing recording equipment to meet this

21、 specification may be made by users or manufac- turers in order to increase the overall reliability of the frame pulse recovery. Recordings made according to earlier versions of this practice contain less energy in the recorded frame pulse and this fact should be taken into account in the design of

22、new equipment. A3 The transfer characteristic of magnetic tape is non- linear. The Br, Ir curve of the tape as recorded has a shape indicated in figure A.la. When a sinusoidal record current (figure A.lc) is applied to the record head! the resulting recorded flux density is as shown in figure A.l b.

23、 The play- back voltage waveform (figure A.l d) is the first derivative of the recorded flux. Thus, the zero axis crossing region Gf the reproducing signal corresponds to the maximum recorded flux region. The verge of saturation is considered to be the condition where the recorded flux waveform is j

24、ust notice- ably flattened on its peaks. This flattening of the flux peaks results in an inflection in the reproducing signal waveform in the zero axis crossing region. The verge of saturation can thus be determined by increasing the record current until a barely perceptible inflection occurs in the

25、 zero axis crossing region of the reproducing signal. A.4 Areas to which a compass is attracted (see 6.4) do not coincide with point of maximum record current. The compass will be attracted to two areas (X, as shown in figure A.l) adjacent to the point where the record current crosses the zero axis.

26、 The two areas will appear as bars when the track is developed with carbonly iron or an equivalent material. A.5 The location of vertical sync and the frame pulse, as specified herein, will apply only if the recorder video head and capstan servos are referenced to a synchronizing signal that is in time coincidence with the video at the recorder.
