Industry:Software
A block of data in the coded bit stream containing the coded representation of a number of data elements pertaining to the coded data that follow the header in the bit stream.
Industry:Software
a) The number of dB increases possible above the operation level (0 VU) before unacceptable distortion occurs.
b) In composition, the space between a subject’s head and the upper boundary of the frame.
c) The difference between the nominal level (average) and the maximum operating level (just prior to “unacceptable” distortion) in any system or device. Because it is a pure ratio, there is no unit or reference-level qualifier associated with headroom: simply “dB”; headroom expressed in dB accurately refers to both voltage and power.
Industry:Software
A way of winding tape so that the beginning of a selection is on the outside of the reel.
Industry:Software
The degree to which the surface of the magnetic coating approaches the surface of the record or replay heads during normal operation of a recorder. Good head-to-tape contact minimizes separation loss and is essential in obtaining high resolution.
Industry:Software
The vertical positioning of a head with respect to a piece of tape. The size of the picture in a vertical direction.
Industry:Software
A method of recording video information diagonally on a tape, used in home and professional VCRs. High-speed rotating video heads scan these diagonal video tracks, giving an effective tape speed much higher than the actual tape speed allowing more information to be recorded on a given length of magnetic tape.
