SMPTE Engineering Report: Digital Television Tape Recording: A Report of Progress toward a Standard

As a result of widespread interest in the development of digital television systems, an SMPTE study group on DTTR was established four years ago. Early in the discussions it became apparent that the future digital broadcast video recorder would not evolve directly from present recorder designs, but that new technology would be required to make such a machine practical. This article describes the progress that has been made toward the development of a DTTR standard. It is certain that SMPTE and EBU will succeed in completing specifications for a single digital video recording format and that the results will be contributed to the CCIR in November 1985.
