relation ship between dats,hours and seconds?

Answer 1

Digital Audio Tape is a new format to store music developed in the
mid-1980s by Sony and Philips. As digital music was popularized by
compact discs, the need for a digital recording format for the consumer
existed. The problem is because digital music contains such a high
volume of data (over 5 megabytes of data per minute before error
correction and supplementary information) an aggressive way of storing
it is needed. Prior to DAT, the only way to record digitally was to
use a video deck or a reel-to-reel, not convenient consumer products.

DAT defines the following recording modes with the following
performance specifications...

2 channel 48KHz Sample rate, 16-bit linear encoding, 120 min max.
Frequency Response 2-22KHz (+-0.5dB)
SN = 93 dB DR = 93 dB

2 channel 44.1Khz Sample rate, 16-bit linear encoding, 120 min max
Frequency Response 2-22KHz (+-0.5dB)
SN = 93 dB DR = 93 dB

2 channel 32KHz Sample Rate, 12-bit non-linear encoding, 240 min max
Frequency Response 2-14.5KHz (+-0.5dB)
SN = 92 dB DR = 92 dB

DAT also defines a 4 channel 32KHz mode, but I have yet
to see a deck that will support it.

Answer 2

60 seconds in a minute---60 minutes in an hour--and 24 hours in a DAT
