A New Approach to the D-1 Digital Tape Recorder

Rolf Hedtke

The worldwide introduction of the digital video and audio interface standards of CCIR and AES will allow new operational practices within television studios. The most important device is the digital component television tape recorder according to the SMPTE D-1 standard. For the DCR 100, which was introduced by BTS as a high-end VTR for production and postproduction new system architectures and operating strategies have been developed. Based on latest technology these improved features will change the mode of operation as well as the maintenance and repair procedures. Therefore the users can derive great benefit from new operating methods, higher reliability, less maintenance cost and improved availability of the DCR 100.
