The D-1 DTTR: The Design for the Electrical Part of the Standard

Jurgen K. R. Heitmann

The mechanical part of the D-1 standard defines the magnetic pattern on tape. The basic mechanical work was done prior to the electrical work, but not without consideration of the electrical problems. The helical tracks of the D-1 track pattern allow the recording of 227 Mbit/sec of data. The mechanical standard describes which part of the tracks is used for video according to CCIR 601 and which for each of the 4 digital audio signals according to AES/48 kHz standardization.
