MAGNETIC RECORDING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIGITAL SIGNALS, MAGNETIC REPRODUCING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIGITAL SIGNALS AND TAPE-SHAPED RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

A RECORDING DEVICE (10) FOR DIGITAL SIGNALS WHICH IS ABLE TO RECORD HIGH QUALITY SIGNALS FOR A PROLONGED TIME ON A MAGNETIC TAPE (1) BY EFFECTIVELY UTILIZING THE PRODUCTION EQUIPMENTS OR COMPONENTS OF THE CONVENTIONAL MAGNETIC TAPE. THE PRESENT RECORDING DEVICE FOR DIGITAL SIGNALS RECORDS DATA OF THE DV FORMAT ON A MAGNETIC TAPE (1) 8 MM IN WIDTH. FOR EXAMPLE, DATA OF TWO TRACKS (E, O) OF THE DV FORMAT ARE RECORDED ON A SOLE TRACK OF THE MAGNETIC TAPE OF 8 MM WIDTH WITH A DATA PATTERN REMAINING UNCHANGED.
