1、 STD-SMPTE 25bM-ENGL L97b 8357401 0002b4b ?Li7 W SMPTE STANDARD for Television - Specifications for Video Tape Leader ANSVSMPTE 256M-1996 Revision of ANSIISMPTE 256M-1991 Page 1 of 4 pages 1 Scope 3 Runup section 1.1 This standard specifies the minimum re- quirements for the content and duration of

2、Sig- nals recorded prior to the start of the recorded program material to permit setup and adjustment of equipment for optimum performance during reproduction. In video tape systems which do not employ a tape cassette, there shall be a 10-second minimum dura- tion runup section of blank tape (see fi

3、gure l (A) prior to the recording of any signals on the tape. 4 Noise reduction 1.2 The standard also specifies a visual and aural countdown sequence to facilitate program cuing and specifies the duration of video tape that precedes and follows the recorded material to provide the minimum lengths of

4、 tape required to ensure proper threading in video tape systems which do not employ tape cassettes. -k+ -L 2 Normative references This segment of the video tape leader shall be used only if an external audio noise-reduction encoding system, not inherent to the video tape format being used, is applie

5、d to the program audio material and decoding is required during the playback. The use of external audio noise reduction is not covered by SMPTE specifications, and must be by mutual agree- ment. The tape shall be labelled with information about the form of external audio noise reduction used. The fo

6、llowing standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this standard are encouraged to investigate the

7、 possibility of applying the most recent edition of the standards listed below: 4.2 Audio 4.1 Video Avideo Signal as specified in 5.1 shall be recorded in this video segment (See figure for a duration equal to the total duration Of the audio signals speci- fied in 42.1 and 42.2.

This signal must not be recorded unless the noise-reduction identifica- tion specified in 4.2.1 is also recorded. 4.3 Leader noise reduction If an extemal audio noise-reduction encoding system is used for the program material, the audio signals specified in 5.2 should be recorded without externa

14、l audio noise-reduction encoding whenever practical. 5 Basic leader 5.1 Video 5.1.1 Color bar signal Acolor bar pattern as defined by EIA-189-Aor SMPTE EG 1 shall be recorded in this video segment (see figure 1 (E) for a duration equal to the total duration & of the audio signals specified in 5.2.1,

15、5.2.2, and 5.2.3. Color bar signals shall be recorded with maximum luminance at 77 IRE units corresponding to a 75% chroma level, and shall include a reference white bar and a reference black bar. The recording of the color bar signal shall be made under the same conditions of equipment adjustment a

16、s used for recording the program video material. For original recording, the color bar signal shall originate in and be fed through the same studio and equipment used for the program. In the case of monochrome recordings, a stair- step signal may be substituted for the color bar signal. 5.1.2 Slate

The tone shall consist of a sine wave of a single frequency between 400 Hz (nominal) and 1000 Hz (nominal) at a level matching the operating level of the 8357403 0002b11 7LT H ANSUSMPTE 2561-1 996 program material (normally reference level flux for the tape fo

The tone recorded on all audio tracks shall originate from the same oscillator and be coherent in phase on all audio tracks. 5.2.2 Channel identification 5.2.2.1 Monophonic audio recording When the program audio is a monophonic recording, the audio setup tone specified in 5.2.1 sha

25、egment (see figure l(1) for a 10-second nominal duration. The pattern of this sequence of audio tones shall be as given in table 1. The exact duration of these tones is not critical providing there is a single burst of audible tone on the left channel followed by two bursts of audible tone on the ri

26、ght channel. The left and right channels are defined in SMPTE RP 142 and the individual recording format standards. 5.2.3 10 kHz A 1 O-kHz sine wave with the same input level as the signal specified in 5.2.1 shall be recorded on all tracks in this audio segment (see figure 1 (J) for a minimum of 1 O
