New Technology in Still Stores – What are the Implications?

Bob Pank

The practice of storing frozen TV images on computer discs for later recall is now some ten years old. Over that period there have been very significant changes in the technologies applied to still stores allowing their use to be expanded well beyond the original concepts of a straight store and recall device. Disc capacity, size and price make on-line stores of a 1,000 or more images an economic reality whilst VLSI circuitry packs more electronics into smaller frames. To reap the benefits of these advances requires not so much a rebuilding of the hardware with new components but re-thinking the part that still stores can play in modern TV production.
