Estimating the term…
In a magnetic recording device and method, a magnetic reproduction method and its method and a tape recording medium, the performance can be improved. In the case of successively and obliquely forming tracks along the longitudinal direction of a second magnetic tape having a width wider than a first magnetic tape and continuously recording recording data for at least two tracks in a digital recording format on each track, each track is to be formed at a predetermined track pitch set based on the recording time and the reproduction signal characteristic. Thereby, recording data based on the digital recording format which is applied to the first magnetic tape can keep a practically sufficient C/N ratio and can be recorded on the second magnetic tape for a long time. And thus, a magnetic recording device and method, a magnetic reproduction device and method, and a tape recording medium capable of improving the performance can be realized.
A magnetic recording device comprising:
A magnetic recording method comprising:
A magnetic reproduction device comprising
A magnetic reproduction method, wherein in the case of reproducing recording data from a second magnetic tape having a width wider than a first magnetic tape on which said recording data based on a digital recording format which is applied to said first magnetic tape having a prescribed tape width is recorded, said recording data for at least two tracks in said digital recording format is continuously reproduced from each track successively and obliquely formed at a predetermined track pitch set based on the recording time and reproduction signal characteristic in the longitudinal direction of said second magnetic tape.
