Video Recording Formats in Transition

Digital recording formats, including D-1, D-2, and component HDTV format, will dominate the high end of video recorder application fields in 1990's. — Technique for mass replication of digital tape nearly-perfected, logical direction for consumer VCR is to go didital. A high degree of data compression with no decernible quality degradation will be employed. Consumer HDTV digital VCR will also be developed. — For the large segment of video recorder applications between the high end and consumer areas, component analog video recording, and extended definition color under recording will be the mainstay through the foreseeable future. — First application of the magneto-optical disc recording technique will probably be for the cart machine. — Technical and commercial success of efforts to develop a digital recording format of D-2 quality in a smaller package depends largely upon the availability of advanced magnetic tape of unprecedent electrical and physical characteristics.
