- Abstract
- During the past several years, there has been a great deal of discussion in the Broadcast and Teleproduction industry about digital television – – especially digital video recording, and the selection process for an eventual recording standard. Mechanical tape format is a key ingredient in this selection process. The technology issues surrounding mechanical tape format parameters are indeed complex – – there are a great many variables and tradeoff alternatives.

bio
Mr. Thompson was born in 1939 in Philadelphia and was educated at Drexel Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania. Since joining RCA in 1957, Mr. Thompson has been engaged in the development of government communications equipment, image data handling equipment, and recording systems. During the past decade, Mr. Thompson has been responsible for development of several unique recording systems—including a digital quadruplex videotape recorder operating in an orbiting spacecraft and a 100-MHz bandwidth laser beam film recorder for operation in an F-4 aircraft. Recently, he has been responsible for managing the advanced development of digital television recorders. - Copyright
