Digital Video Tape Recorder:


Author: Charles Hayes:



+ The world of video tape recording

is moving very fast, with many new

recording formats having been added

by all the major manufacturers over

the past few years. This curriculum

design and instruction will pull all

these formats together to enable users

of the equipment and new career seekers

to get a thorough grounding in the

principles behind digital recording and

a thorough oveview of what formats are

currently available.

Starting with an introduction to digital

VTRs the book covers what is currently

happening in the important field of video

data reduction, the problems of interfacing,

the different types of video-component,

composite and HDTV-and in depth information

on all the current digital formats - D1, D2,

D3, D5, DCT, Digital Betacam and HD formats.

Also included is the latest 1/4" DVC format.
