8、ded from a constant voltage level applied to the input terminals of the recording system, the short circuit tape flux level on the record versus frequency, LQ(f), shall be as given by the following equation: L (f) = 10 log 10 where LQ is the relative tape flux level; f is the frequency at which the

9、response is being computed; FI is the low-frequency transition frequency, 50 Hz; and Fh is the high-frequency transition frequency, 10,610 Hz (see annex A.l). 4.2 Reproducer flux/frequency response When a tape record having a short circuit tape flux level versus frequency given in 4.1 is reproduced,

10、 the output voltage level of the reproducer versus frequency shall be constant. 5 Relative polarity 5.1 Recording polarity The recording equipment, being fed a positive waveform on pin 2 at its input, will produce a positive magnetization on the magnetic recording medium. A positive magnetization is

11、 the same direction of magnetic flux flow as that observed in a bar magnet where the flux flows out of the north and into the south pole. This flux flow is in the direction of the physical movement of the magnetic surface. 5.2 Reproduction polarity Reproduction of a positive magnetization on the mag

12、netic surface will provide a positive waveform on pin 2 of an XLR-3 connector at the output of the magnetic reproduction equipment (see annex A.2.) 5.3 Recordreproduce audio head phasing When a tape record having been produced by the same signal being recorded on the audio 1 and audio 2 tracks is re

13、produced by individual head gaps for audio 1 track and audio 2 track, the phase difference between the audio 1 and 2 signals shall not exceed 30“ at 12 kHz (see annex A.3). 6 Trackusage 6.1 Nonstereo audio The primary program audio channel shall be recorded on the audio 1 track. 6.1.1 When the same

14、signal is recorded on the audio 1 and audio 2 tracks, the tracks shall be so phased that, when reproduced with a head wide enough to sense the recorded flux on both records, they will be additive. Page 2 of 5 pages SMPTE 20M-2003 6.2 Stereo audio When separate channels are used for stereo audio, the

15、 left channel shall be recorded on the audio 1 track and the right channel on the audio 2 track. 6.3 Time and control code When used, a time and control code shall be recorded on the audio 3 track. I 6.3.1 Position of the code on the video tape 6.3.1.1 The start of the address for original recording

16、 shall be as specified in SMPTE 12M. 6.3.1.2 The position of the address start point along the tape is determined by the position of the appropriate audio head gap. 6.3.2 Recorded signal 6.3.2.1 The input waveform of the recorder for original time and control code recordings shall be as specified in

17、 SMPTE 12M. 6.3.2.2 The amplitude of the recorded signal shall be such as to produce a peak-to-peak short circuit recorded flux level on the tape of at least 141 nWb/m of track width. Annex A (informative) Additional data A.1 The record flux level versus frequency method given in 4.1 is equivalent t

18、o the more familiar reproduce time constant method. Transition frequencies may be calculated with the following equation: Equivalent time constants would be: TI = 3180 p Th = 15 pS A.2 A recording channel is positive when a positive pulse produces a magnetic flux flow across the recording head gap i

19、n the direction of the tape movement. A reproducing channel is positive when a positive magnetization on the tape produces a positive pulse at the output (see figure A.l). Positive polarity may be simulated in a reproducer by either of the two methods given below: Method No. 1. Face the south pole o

20、f a magnet toward the reproduce head. Move the magnet past the head in the direction of tape movement, near enough to the head to produce an output from the reproduce channel. Observe the output of the reproduce channel on an oscilloscope. The first half cycle of the sine wave should be positive goi

21、ng (see figure A.2). Precaution should be taken to prevent magnetization of the heads or other metal surfaces. Method No. 2. Positive polarity may be simulated in a reproducer by passing a dc pulse through a wire which is parallel to the reproduce head gap. A practical signal for measuring polarity

22、can be generated in an induction loop by half-wave rectifying a 400-Hz sine wave. When the positive-going half-wave current flows through the conductor up through the page toward the observer (see figure A.3). this signal should produce a positive-going waveform at the output of the reproduce channe

23、l. (By classical definition, what is considered current flow is opposite to electron flow.) This signal may also be recorded and reproduced to verify the polarity of the record channel. A.3 Recodreproduce audio head phasing may be measured by using a single, wide head to record audio 1 track and aud

24、io 2 track simultaneously. When the signal is reproduced with individual heads, the relative phase is a measure of the accuracy of alignment of the reproduce head gaps. An example would be a relative phase not to exceed 30“ in the 100 Hz to 12 kHz frequency range as stated in 5.3. Page 3 of 5 pages
