12、 reproducers 5.1 The practical calibration of a reproducer shall be performed by reproducing the audio level and multifrequency test tape defined in ANSVSMPTE 8 or ANSVSMPTE 11. The practical calibration of a recorder shall then be performed by recording on a medium representative of that to be used
13、, and comparing the recording so made with the recording on the test tape. 5.2 The flux/frequency response of a reproducer shall be calibrated by reproducing the frequency response test section of the specified test tape. The reproducing equalizer is adjusted so that RELATIVE LEVEL OF SHORT CIRCUIT

The recording equalizer is adjusted so that the tape flux level versus frequency of a recorder (including the tape) is the same as that on the test tape. 5.5 The operating level of a recorder shall be calibrated by comparing the tape flux recorded by the recorder when the recording volume indi-

19、-ENGL 1796 6357403 0003309 352 SMPTE 3-1998 Annex A (informative) Additional data Previous frequency response standards for recorders and reproducers have been given in terms of a “standard repro- ducing system,” having an “ideal” reproducing head followed by a standardized RC equalizing network who
20、se time con- stant was given. Because an adequate description of the “ideal” head and its interconnection to the following network is quite lengthy, it is simpler to specify the system responses in terms of the basic physical quantity for the recorded signal, the “short circuit tape flux.” The conce
21、pts are explained in detail by J. G. McKnight in the paper Flux and flux-frequency meas- urements and standardization in magnetic recording, J. SMPTE, 78: 457-472; June 1969. Rather than specifying flux/frequency response in terms of admittances of electrical networks, the equation and graph of the response function have been specifically given. The equation does in fact describe the response of the previously specified RC equalizing network with “time constants” of 2000 microseconds and 35 pm. Page 3 of 3 pages
