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 apparatus for digital signals which effectively utilizes production equipments or components for a magnetic tape to assure long-time recording of high-quality signals on the magnetic tape. In this magnetic recording apparatus for digital signals, two-track data in the DV format is recorded in the same data pattern on a sole track of a magnetic tape 8 mm in width. Extension data are also recorded on this sole track along with the two-track data in the DV format.
