Digital Audio Tape
DAT (Digital Audio Tape) is a new recording system which
digitalizes the audio signal and records it on a DAT cassette
tape.
DAT records the audio signal by converting the analog sound
into a digital signal. This converting system is called the PCM
(Pulse Code Modulation), and its accurate processing of the
audio signal allows recording/playback with lower wow and
flutter, wider dynamic range, lower distortion rate, and superb
In addition, various control codes calls sub codes can be written
on the DAT cassette separately from the audio signal. They are
written for a variety of convenient playback/tape editing
operations, and except for the absolute time, can be rewritten
after audio signal recording has been completed.
