ANSI/SMPTE 79M-996 angle Different methods of design and/or variations in drum diameter and tape tension can produce equivalent recordings for interchange purposes One possible configuration of the transport uses a scanner with an effective diameter of 76 mm Scanner rotation is in the same direction as tape motion during normal playback mode Data are recorded by two groups of four heads mounted apart Figures 6 (55/6 system) and 7 (65/5 system) show one possible mechanical configuration of the scanner, and table 3 shows the corresponding mechanical parameters Figures (55/6 system) and 9 (65/5 system) show the relationship between the longitudinal heads and the scanner Other mechanical configurations are allowable provided the same footprint of recorded information is produced on tape Erase heads are described in 5 and figures 6 and 7 6 Program track data 6 Introduction Each television field is recorded on tracks (55/6 system) or 6 tracks (65/5 system) The helical tracks contain digital data from the video channel and four audio channels Each track contains a video sector followed by four audio sectors corresponding to four audio channels and followed by a second video sector, recorded in that order An edit gap between sectors accommodates timing errors during editing Figure shows the arrangement of video and audio sectors on the tape 6 Labeling convention The least significant bit is written on the left and first recorded to tape The lowest numbered byte is shown at the left/top and is the first encountered in the input data stream Byte values are expressed in hexadecimal notation unless otherwise noted An h subscript indicates a hexadecimal value 63 Sector details Each sector (audio or video) is divided into the following elements: -- Preamble containing clock run-up sequence, sync pattern, identification pattern, and fill pattern; -- Sync blocks containing sync pattern and identification pattern, followed by a fixed length data block with error control; -- Postamble containing sync pattern and identification pattern 63 Sync block The sync block format is common for both audio and video sectors Each sync block contains a sync pattern ( bytes) and an inner code block Each inner block contains an identification pattern ( bytes) and 5 (55/6 system) or 76 (65/5 system) data bytes of video, audio, or outer check bytes followed by inner check bytes The inner code block protects the two bytes of the identification pattern together with 5 data bytes (55/6 system) or 76 data bytes (65/5 system) Figures (55/6 system) and (65/5 system) show the sync block format 63 Sync pattern a) Length: 6 bits ( bytes) b) Pattern: 97F (in hexadecimal notation) Byte Byte c) Protection: None d) Randomization: None 633 Identification pattern As illustrated in figures 3 (55/6 system) and (65/5 system), the first two bytes of each inner block are used for identificaton of sync block, television field, segment (group of helical tracks scanned simultaneously), sector (portion of a track), and helical track Bits to 6 of the second byte (byte 3 of sync block) of the identification pattern identify the track Bit 7 of the second byte (byte 3) identifies a sector on the helical track (see figures 5 and 6) Page of 77 pages
