Tape to head speed
The relative speed of tape and head during normal recording or replay.
The tape-to-head speed coincides with the tape speed in conventional longitudinal recording but is considerably greater than the tape speed in systems where the heads are scanned across or along the tape. For example, in helical scan recording and quadrature recording.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
