IEC EN 61120-3 Reel-to-Reel Digital Audio Tape Recorder Using 6,3 mm Magnetic Tape for Professional Use - Part 3: Format B

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 61120-3 testing. This subclause specifies the modulation of a binary data string ("incoming data") into a recording signal waveform ("output waveform"). Next, a synchronization pattern is defined that violates the modulation rules.

The output waveform is defined by two cells for each input data bit. Only transitions in the output waveform are identified; The output waveform is polarity independent. Rules for generating a pair of output waveform cells are defined for each input bit, and bit-to-waveform transitions are defined in rules 1 and 2.

"The synchronization pattern is characterized by two consecutive passage distances of 9 cells followed by a different passage distance of 9 cells".

Bits 12 through 16 and subsequent bits up to the next Synchronization/Control word are encoded in HDM-1. Bits 12 and 13 carry a 2-bit block address that increments with each new block. Bits 14 to 16 are reserved for storing accent bits, control information, other auxiliary information, and timecode pointers. The value 00 is specified for bits 14 and 15 until further recognition.

Error detection is made possible by the CRC control word recorded for each block of each trace and the P and Q control words of each trace. Error correction is made possible by the P and Q words of each part.
