What is this BS EN 60712 - Helical-scan video-tape cassette system about?
BS EN 60712 discusses helical-scan video-tape cassette system using 19 mm (< in) magnetic tape, known as U-format. BS EN 60712 applies to magnetic video recording and/or playback with 19 mm (# in) tape cassettes on two-head helical-scan videocassette recorders, suitable for recording and/or playback of monochrome as well as colour television programmes.
BS EN 60712 contains the definition of parameters for the two-head helical-scan video recording playback system, using 19 mm (3/4 in) tape cassettes, known as U-matic SP-format. The system is suitable for 625/50 PAL and 525/60 NTSC colour television systems. BS EN 60712 gives dimensional and other characteristics necessary to permit the interchangeability of cassettes. For some parameters, the specification is only possible through the description of recorded tapes which implies making reference to the television system or standard in use. In such cases, the reference made for instance to 525 line-60 field or 625 line-50 field systems are considered as an example.
