Videotape Recording: Digital Component versus Digital Composite Recording

E. Fraser Morrison

Digital composite signals for NTSC and PAL and a single digital component signal are described. User data rates and channel coded rates for a digital videotape recorder are developed for the three types of signals. Methods of error correction for the types of signals are shown and performance results are compared. Continuous standard signals for stop-motion and slow-motion operation of the tape transport are derived and the anticipated performance results are compared.
