DVCPRO: A Comprehensive Format Overview
Currently, broadcast and ENG camcorders and video editors use mainly analog ½-inch (12.7 mm) equipment However, as news acquisition increases in importance and digitization occurs throughout broadcasting, more compact and cost-effective digital systems with easy editing, improved features, and high picture quality are now in demand. To meet this demand we have developed “DVCPRO”, a 6 mm video cassette format using digital component recording to assure picture quality that surpasses that of analog component VTRs. Two cassette sizes hold 63 minutes and 123 minutes, and have ¼ the volume, 1/6 the weight, and double the recording time of conventional analog ½-inch cassettes.
