ABSTRACT:
Digital signal processing (DSP) employing a differential mean calculation automatically distinguishes sections of blank tape from program material (such as music or voice) on cassette tapes. Blank tape produces a negligible differential mean value while program material produces substantial differential mean values. Thus, each differential mean is compared to a threshold so that a cassette player can be commanded to fast forward through a blank section of tape. A music envelope detector insures that low amplitude music signals are not detected as blank.
