Digital Television Tape Recording: A Report of Progress toward a Standard

The digital television tape recorder (DTTR) is near to becoming a reality. This paper describes some of the main features of the new video recording system. In contrast to the Type C and Type B recorders presently used, the DTTR has not evolved from earlier designs. The new format derives instead from an analysis of the present and future needs of broadcasters and production organizations. It makes a new synthesis of past experience in digital audio and data recording and it capitalizes on experience gained from nearly 30 years of analog video recording equipment design and manufacture.
