A recording control device and a recording control method capable of reducing an error rate of reading or writing of data from or to a recording tape included in a recording tape cartridge are obtained.

A recording control device reads tape quality information recorded on an RFID tag included in a recording tape cartridge, acquires drive quality information indicating quality of each of a plurality of tape drives that are loading targets of the recording tape cartridge, and prohibits reading or writing of data from or to the recording tape using the tape drive in a combination of which the quality is lower than predetermined quality among combinations of quality of the recording tape cartridge indicated by the read tape quality information and quality of each of the plurality of tape drives indicated by the acquired drive quality information.

The present invention comprises an input part for inputting image data, a receiving part for receiving production information relating to production transmitted from another apparatus, a recording part for recording the production information received by the receiving part and image data input by the input part, a detection part for detecting a recording position on a recording medium at an editing point of image data recorded by the recording part, and a transmission part for transmitting information of the recording position detected by the detection part, whereby identification information for identifying image data and voice data is recorded in a recording medium or a recording device, this relieving a burden on a photographer and an editor and facilitating extraction of image data and voice data.

An object is to provide a magnetic recording medium that exhibits high resolution.

The present technology provides a magnetic recording medium of a tape form, including: a magnetic layer; and an underlayer, in which a core part level difference Rk is 5.5 nm or less in a bearing curve generated on the basis of height data of a magnetic layer-side surface acquired using an atomic force microscope, and an average thickness of the underlayer is 1.50 m or less. In addition, the present technology also provides a tape cartridge including the magnetic recording medium of the tape form.

The present disclosure generally relates to a tape drive comprising a tape wound around first and second tape reels and a tape head module configured to write data to and read data from the tape. The tape drive is configured to equalize the amount of time the tape spends stored in a first state and a second state when being stored long term, or when in a preservation phase, to minimize the effects of creep and tape dimensional stability. In the first state, a majority of the tape is wound around the first tape reel. In the second state, the majority of the tape is wound around the second tape reel. The tape drive is configured to move the tape between the first and second states: (1) upon being triggered by the timer, or (2) based on the tape head module being utilized to determine a position error signal.

A magnetic tape cartridge includes a case on which an identifier is displayed, and a storage medium in which reading condition information that is information regarding a condition for reading the identifier is stored. The magnetic tape cartridge can be part of a cartridge management system, a reading method, and a non-transitory storage medium storing a program.

The present invention comprises an input part for inputting image data, a receiving part for receiving production information relating to production transmitted from another apparatus, a recording part for recording the production information received by the receiving part and image data input by the input part, a detection part for detecting a recording position on a recording medium at an editing point of image data recorded by the recording part, and a transmission part for transmitting information of the recording position detected by the detection part, whereby identification information for identifying image data and voice data is recorded in a recording medium or a recording device, this relieving a burden on a photographer and an editor and facilitating extraction of image data and voice data.

Method, system, and computer program product embodiments for recording data on a contactless integrated circuit (IC) memory associated with a data storage cartridge are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a consistency is verified between a TOC written to a contactless IC memory and an index, wherein if the TOC and the index are inconsistent, a TOC profile file is refreshed with data from the index. The TOC is written to the contactless IC memory.

A tape device includes a tape drive, a storage unit, and a processor. The tape drive is configured to write plural data units in a magnetic tape formed with plural tracks. The storage unit is configured to store information indicating a reversal position set in a middle of the magnetic tape. The processor is configured to instruct the tape drive to start writing of a first data unit in the magnetic tape. The processor is configured to control the tape drive to continue the writing up to an end of the first data unit when a first write area crosses over the reversal position. The first data unit is written in the first write area. The processor is configured to control the tape drive to change a write destination from the first track to a second track after the first data unit is written and to reverse the write direction.
