Abstract: After many years of research and development work in various laboratories, the television industry achieved a single world standard based on the 4:2:2 level of digital component encoding. This article describes the production of the first all-digital program, a rock music video produced in France under the supervision of the Société Française de Production (SPF). The program, which was shown at the 127th SMPTE Technical Conference and at the Montreux 1985 Symposium, consists of multigenerations of video effects and various graphic overlays assembled in digital form on the digital VTR. The author explains the layering process used to create the program, and gives examples of the high picture quality that can be achieved by the digital process, even after 10 or 15 generations.
