New Technology in Still Stores — What Are the Implications?

Bob Pank

The practice of storing frozen TV images on computer disks for later recall is now some ten years old. Over that period very significant changes have been made in the technologies applied to still stores, allowing their use to be expanded well beyond the original concepts of a straight store and recall device. Disk capacity, size, and price make on-line stores of 1000 or more images an economic reality, while very large-scale integrated (VLSI) circuitry packs more electronics into smaller frames. To reap the benefits of these advances requires not so much a rebuilding of the hardware with new components as rethinking the part that still stores can play in modern TV production.
