DV Format and IEEE-1394: Higher Quality, Lower Cost Non-Linear Video Editing

Adam Silver

Two new technologies, DV Format and IEEE-1394 (also known as Firewire) are implemented in recently introduced Camcorders and Digital VCR's. This combination of technology opens a new market for PC based non-linear editing products which deliver very high quality video at a much lower cost than current analog capture/compression products. — Bringing DV Format into the PC environment opens a variety of opportunities for compression/decompression of DV data using the PC's host processor and for transporting DV data inside the PC. — The next 2 years will see the introduction of many more DV based and IEEE-1394 based products.
