Its stable servo-controlled dual capstan motorprovide absolute minimum of wow and flutter.

The head configuration consists of an erase head and two record/reproduce heads, one for recording and sync playback, and the other for playback only.
Designed for demanding production applications, including lock-up to SMPTE* controller/Synchronizers, the 44 transport is built on a heavy duty chassie, that ensure stable tape motion and stable alignment, despite the long hours of use on high speed, start-stop shuttling that are part of editing.
Logic-controlled transport function permits switching the tap transport from fast forward to rewind or from either of these modes to the play mode without going into the stop mode.
Tape motion is fast,smooth,quiet,and accurate thanks to the built in micro-processor which commands two direct drive reel motors under full tension servo-control and a single PLL-servo capstan motor.
The tachometer roller measures the linear tape footage, although the readout is converted to elapsed time from whatever zero point is entered.
As the tape moves, it turns the roller shaft causing a radially marked disk on the roller shaft to interrupt a photo sensor, which drives the digital counter circuitry.
A thin rubber coating on the tachroller avoids tape slippage, and also protects the surface of the tape.
Access to the heads for cleaning or editing is provided by a flip-up head access cover,and a flipdown mirror head shield.
The record/sync head and repro head are inter-changeable, and adjustable for easy installation or removal.
Fast Wind time: 120 seconds for 10-1/2 reel,2400 feet. Spooling Wind time: 370 seconds for 10-1/2 reel by pressing twice on F W.
