Applications of the LaserVision Standard Videodisc in the Broadcasting Industry
Although the videodisc was developed primarily for the consumer market, recent improvements in the technology have increased its potential for expansion into broadcast areas. LaserVision has proven a powerful tool in a variety of nonbroadcast operations. With current off-the-shelf equipment capable of delivering the signal at low cost, numerous broadcast applications are now possible. A background of the development of the LaserVision system, followed by a description of the technology, is first presented. Possible broadcast applications relating to syndication of programs, archiving and retrieval, and cart machine operations are then discussed.
