摘要:
Data are stored on magnetic tape along successive tracks extending obliquely across the tape, in each of several areas including a lead-in area, a data area and an end-of-data (EOD) area. Each track comprises successive blocks or fragments of data, and each fragment has a compact header containing a synchronization byte, six information bytes and two parity bytes. The information bytes include a fragment ID, an area ID sub code identifying the area in which the fragment is located, and various other sub codes relating to logical structure of the data. The inclusion of an area ID sub code and logical structure sub codes in the (compact) header of every fragment facilitates reliable searching of the data stored on the tape at high tape advance speeds.

A data recorder includes a recording unit for recording data having a predetermined data format and a frame address in a recording medium in units of frames each consisting of predetermined amount of data, and for forming a plurality of Partitions each consisting of a plurality of data areas in which different types of data are recorded during recording. The data recorder performs initialization of a length of at least one of the Partitions.
摘要:
In this invention, a predetermined amount of data is given as one frame, and data having a predetermined format is recorded for each frame. A first area recording main data and a second area recording sub data are formed in each frame. Plural types of units each consisting of a plurality of frames are set, and a number of first units from a leading end of a recording medium and the numbers of other units from the leading end of the recording medium to a trailing end of the first units are recorded in the second area of a frame constituting the unit including the trailing end, thus facilitating a high-speed search operation.
摘要:
A digital audio tape recorder is used as a digital data storage recorder and digital signals containing main data and sub-data are recorded in separate areas in each track of a plurality of tracks formed on a recording medium, wherein a predetermined number of tracks constitute a group and a plurality of groups are recorded on the medium. In the sub-area an identification signal is further recorded which indicates whether or not main data recorded in the main areas of a given group is same as the main data recorded in the main areas of preceding and subsequent adjacent groups. When identical data is multiply written for a plurality of units, a division of the multiply written portions is detected, and signal processing is facilitated.

In an apparatus for reproducing a digital signal wherein a signal is read by a plurality of reproducing rotary heads which trace a track with an interval narrower than the interval of tracks formed on a tape, a wrap angle with which a tape is wrapped around the periphery of a rotary drum to which the rotary heads are attached is selected to be less than 360.degree./n with respect to the number n (n is an integer) of rotary heads, the rotary heads are rotated at a speed twice the normal rotational speed of the heads, the demodulated digital signal is stored in a memory corresponding to a frame address and a block address detected from the reproduced digital signal, and then the digital signal stored in the memory is read out therefrom in a predetermined order, whereby an apparatus for correcting the tracking of the tape by the rotary heads can be eliminated.
摘要:
The invention relates to a digital signal reproducing apparatus to which continuous blocks of input data are supplied, each block consisting of a PCM signal which was error correction coded and additional codes which were subjected to error detection or error correction coding processes. The error pointers are set independently of the result of the error correction of the PCM signal on the basis of the decoding state of the decoder for decoding the additional codes using the error detection code or error correction code.
摘要:
A data recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing data on azimuth tracks of a magnetic tape in which the data may be audio data or computer data in any of several different computer data formats includes a controller that controls the recording and reproducing signal processing so as to be responsive to the four different kinds of data formats such that main data and subdata may be separated from the audio data and subcodes and error correction codes generated and appended to the data stream as required.
摘要:
A data recording method is provided in which the time required for recording/reproduction of system logs for each partition is shortened for a tape format having plural partitions. In recording data on an azimuth track on a magnetic tape having a tape format having plural partitions, using a rotary head, the system logs of each partition are recorded in a system region of a leading side partition P1.
摘要:
An apparatus for recording and/or reproducing digital data information on a recording medium which has a recorder similar to a digital audio recorder (DAT) which records digital signals in a frame made up of two oblique tracks formed by rotary heads and a controller for dividing the digital data information at a predetermined frame portion and supplying the divided information to the recorder as a digital signal, wherein since the digital data information are divided at the predetermined frame portion, they are easily re-recorded.
摘要:
A decoding apparatus in which the operation to write error correction coded data into a memory and a decoding processing operation of the data read out of the memory are executed in parallel. This decoding apparatus comprises: a comparator for comparing the address to write the data into the memory with the address in the memory for the decoding processing operation; and control means for inhibiting the writing operation when it is detected by the comparator that the decoding processing operation is precedent to the writing operation. With this apparatus, the data which was subjected to the correcting process is prevented from being rewritten into the memory and the pointer derived by the decoding process from being broken.
