Abstract: An overview of various videotape recorder (VTR) formats and some predictions for the future are presented. Among these predictions: Digital recording formats, including the D-1, D-2, and component HDTV formats, will dominate the high end of video recorder application fields in the 1990s. As techniques for mass replication of digital tape are nearly perfected, the logical direction for the consumer videocassette recorder (VCR) to go is digital. A consumer high-definition digital VCR will also be developed. For the large segment of video recorder applications between the high end and consumer areas, component analog video (CAV) recording and extended-definition color-under recording will be the mainstays through the foreseeable future. The first application of magneto-optical disc recording will probably be for the cart machine. Technical and commercial success of efforts to develop a D-2-quality digital recording format in a smaller package depends largely upon the availability of advanced magnetic tape of unprecedented electrical and physical characteristics.
