A Progress Report on Video-Tape Standardization

A. H. Lind

The SMPTE Video-Tape Recording Committee has been working since its initial meeting in June 1958 on items requiring industry standardization in order to insure interchangeability of recorded video tapes. A list of pertinent items was prepared and tasks assigned by the Chairman. The list includes tape dimensions, tape reels, tape track dimensions; audio, control and cue track standards; monochrome and color signal characteristics; tape leaders; standard tapes; and tape splicing. This report covers the current status of the Committee's work.
