B77 Specification
Tape transport mechanism: 3 motor tape drive;
2 AC driven spooling motors; 1 AC driven capstan motor, electronically regulated Tape speeds: 3.75 ips and 7.5
ips, electronic change-over, tolerance from nominal +-0.2% With optional vari-speed
speed variable from 2.5.....11 ips Wow and flutter: (as per DIN 45507) At 3.75 ips <0.1%,
at 7.5 ips <0.08% Tape slip: Maximum 0.2% Reel size: Up to 10.5”
diameter (minimum hub diameter 2.36”) Tape tension
switchable for small hub diameters Winding time: Approximately 135
seconds for 3,600 ft of tape Tape transport
control: Integrated control
logic with tape motion sensor provides for any desired transition between
different operating modes. Contactless electronic switching of all motors.
Remote control of all transport functions and electronic timer operation are
possible Equalization: (as per NAB) 3.75 ips: 90
