A Standard for Positioning the Vacuum Guide in Transverse Track Video-Tape Recorders
The SMPTE Video-Tape Recording Committee has developed a Recommended Practice for transverse track video-tape recording which results in a constant recorded video-track length per TV line period. Adherence to this Recommended Practice will improve the interchangeability and interspliceability of recorded tapes. The Recommended Practice establishes the proper position of the vacuum guide with respect to the axis of rotation of the video heads as a function of the vacuum guide radius. The background for this Recommended Practice is outlined and the relationships that are specified in it are explained.
