When the same configuration as that in the VHS system is performed in the digital video format for business use, the reel interval is S cassette (S is SM).
ALL's S means small cassette and M cassette (M is MID)
In the case of M of DLE, which means the middle cassette), the reel is located at the reel position of the M cassette when configuring an adapter for the M cassette (an adapter for converting the S cassette into the shape of the M cassette). In this case, the connection of the reel operation becomes very complicated, so that it is necessary to expose the reel from the S cassette and switch the reel position by the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus. In this case, since the shape of the adapter is the same as that of the M cassette, there is a problem that the magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus cannot perform the determination.
