a) In computers, the machine language itself, or the process of converting from one language to another. b) A plan for representing each of a finite number of values or symbols as a particular arrangement or sequence of discrete conditions or events. To encode is to express given information by means of a code. c) A system of rules defining a one-to-one correspondence between information and its representation by characters, symbols, or signal elements.

On recording tape, the binder is usually composed of organic resins used to bond the oxide particles to the base material. The actual composition of the binder is considered proprietary information by each magnetic tape manufacturer. The binder is required to be flexible and still maintain the ability to resist flaking or shedding binder material during extended-wear passes.

Up to 6875 single carriers 1 kHz apart are QAM modulated with up to 64 states. “Coded” means that the data to be modulated has error control. Orthogonality means that the spectra of the individual carriers do not influence each other as a spectral maximum always coincides with a spectrum zero of the adjacent carriers. A single-frequency network is used for the actual transmission.

Bi-phase is an older synchronization technology used in the film industry. Typically, the clock was derived from a box that hung off of large film mag recorders. This box emitted a pulse that provided sync. Working with pulses alone, bi-phase sync did not provide location information, making it a rather limited solution.

a) A circuit that uses digital sampling to convert an analog signal into a digital representation of that signal. An ADC for digitizing video must be capable of sampling at 10 to 150 million samples per second (MSPS). b) Converts analog voltages and currents to the digital representation used by computer systems. This enables the computer to sense real-world signals.
