Development of Component Digital VTRs and the Future Potential of the D-1 Format

Jurgen K. R. Heitmann

Since 1979 discussions about digital component recording are under way. For one year now the appropriate equipment has been on the market and further equipment is about to follow. The introduction of the 19 mm component DVTR represents significant steps in terms of technology and operational practice. The first of these is of course the transition from analog video to digital video. Linked to this, however, is a further transition from composite video to component video. The digital component video recorder can be considered as the key for the digital studio of the future.
