Magnetic head transducer assembly for redundantly recording data on and reproducing data from dual-tracks of a magnetic recording medium
Abstract
Abstract A DATA PROCESSING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUNDANT RECORDING AND REPRODUCING OF DIGITAL OR OTHER FORMS OF DATA ON A MAGNETIC MEDIUM UTILIZING A SINGLE CHANNEL OF PROCESSING ELECTRONICS. IN RECORD, THE DATA IS FED THROUGH A SINGLE CHANNEL OF PROCESSING ELECTRONICS TO A PAIR OF TRANSDUCERS OF A HEAD ASSEMBLY WHEREAT THE SIGNAL IS DIVIDED TO CREATE TWO REDUNDANT TRACKS ON THE TAPE. IN PLAYBACK, THE REDUNDANT DATA IS SIMULTANEOUSLY REPRODUCED FROM DUAL TAPE TRACKS AND SUMMED TOGETHER DIRECTLY AT THE HEAD ASSEMBLY AND PROCESSED AS A SINGLE PLAYBACK SIGNAL BY A STANDARD SINGLE CHANNEL OF PROCESSING ELECTRONICS TO RECONSTITUTE THE ORIGINAL DATA WITH NEGLIGIBLE ERROR DUE TO TAPE DROPOUTS.
