    摘要: A method, according to one embodiment, includes cycling a shorter length of a tape, that is less than an entire length of the tape, a plurality of times to acclimate the shorter length of the tape. An acclimation change amount of the shorter length of the tape is determined. The acclimation change amount is based on a baseline servo band difference (SBD) measured before the cycling and a post cycling SBD measured after the cycling. The method further includes adjusting SBD values from a beginning of the tape (BOT) to an end of the tape (EOT) based on the determined acclimation change amount. A system according to another embodiment includes a processor, and logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor. The logic is configured to cause the processor to perform operations of the foregoing method.

    摘要: It is common that in an audio system, there are multiple data rates that need to be synchronized. For example, a sending device has its own crystal or clock, and a receiving device has another. Typical solutions introduce a lot of latency. According to various embodiments of the invention, a data management mechanism and technique are presented. The data management mechanism and technique pertains to managing media data such as those in an audio system, for example, managing the consumption of digital audio data in USB audio. The data management mechanism may include a dynamic buffer, which can be automatically controlled and adjusted to address issues (e.g., latency) in data consumption.
