ISO/IEC 22050:2002
Information technology -- Data interchange on 12,7 mm, 384-track magnetic tape cartridges -- Ultrium-1 format
Product Details
The linearly recorded format, called Ultrium-1, has 384 tracks. It uses a timing based servo for improved track following. The format supports variable length Logical Records, high speed search, and the use of a registered algorithm for data compression.
ISO/IEC 22050:2002 specifies four types of cartridges depending on the length of tape contained in the case. These four types are referred to as Type A, Type B, Type C and Type D; their nominal uncompressed capacity is 100 Gbytes, 50 Gbytes, 30 Gbytes and 10 Gbytes, respectively.
Together with a standard for volume and file structure this document provides for full data interchange between data processing systems.
