To keep up with the progress of digitization in broadcasting stations, digital VTRs have been put into practical use. They have rapidly come to be used as a replacement for conventional analog VTRs. On the other hand. thanks to the progress of high density recording technology and image-data compression technology,consumer use VTRs have just begun to indicate the posibility of digitization even for Hi-Vision VTRs. This paper reports the present condition of the video recording technology and its prospects, focusing digital VTRs, which have shown remarkable progress in recent years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
