Defines dimensions and other characteristics of equipment that are needed to ensure the interchangeability of recorded cassettes. Applies to magnetic video recording using 12,65 mm (0,5 in) tape cassettes on helical-scan video tape recorders and defines the basic M2 format video cassette system. Coverage includes: environment and test conditions; drum diameter and structure; scanner pole tips; leader tape and trailer tape; longitudinal audio signal recording; tracking control signal recording. Also gives detailed definitions, diagrams and annexes.
