Introduction to the Papers on the Type D-1 Digital Video Recorder

Frederick M. Remley

In these introductory comments I wish briefly to outline the role of SMPTE engineering committees in the preparation of the standards for the Type D-1 broadcast quality, component digital video recorder. Other papers will describe parallel efforts by EBU technical groups in Europe; I will focus principally on the SMPTE organization of work. Hopefully this will make it easier to explain some of the factors in the standardization process that have led to a D-1 standard and to this series of papers.
