Abstract: The D-1 cassette digital television recorder uses one of the highest recording densities found in magnetic recording formats; compare for example the 5 inch single density disc recording approximately 270Kb/inch<sup>2</sup> with the D1 format of nearly 30Mb/inch<sup>2</sup>. This 100:1 increase in density is essential to keep the cassette size to a practical level but, in exchange, each recorded bit is potentially more prone to errors on replay. Fortunately for those working in the field of information engineering there are a number of techniques and rules which, properly applied, can rectify these difficult situations. In the field of digital video recording, we can usefully apply three basic techniques; (1) source encoding, (2) channel encoding, and (3) error control, to optimise the recording strategy.

bio
Jim Wilkinson completed his education at Sheffield Polytechnic in 1972. From then until 1974 he worked for Marconi Elliott Avionics on aircraft display systems. In 1974 he joined the Independent Broadcasting Authority and worked initially on the DICE digital standards converter. Subsequent projects were mainly concerned with digital video transmission and recording. In 1978 he joined Sony Broadcast to work in the newly created R&D team. Since then he has worked on a number of digital video recorder projects as well as various analogue and digital aspects of video processing. He is a member of the SMPTE, IEE, AES, and RTS.
