Considerations in the Choice of a Digital VTR Format
A consensus has now been reached on coding standards for digital video recording. The paper qualitatively analyzes various options and trade-offs relating to the choice of a format in digital high-density magnetic recording. These include: factors affecting tape consumption, relations among the factors that place constraints on the tape format, and the formats that are possible. Also discussed is the azimuth recording method. It is pointed out that substantial improvements are still being made in the evolving analog VTRs, so that much care should be given to the choice of the practical format for digital VTRs.
