Abstract
With the introduction of professional digital video tape recorder hardware, much discussion has arisen in the video community over the issues surrounding component and composite digital recording methods. Some believe the two recording methods will battle in the marketplace with one becoming the eventual winner. We at Ampex believe both formats will be in use over the next decade with the specific features and benefits of each format matching different applications. This paper describes the composite digital format and highlights its major features. To technically understand the format a description is presented which contains information about: Encoding parameters Mechanical parameters Record content Longitudinal tracks Media The important differences between the composite digital and D-1 formats are compared. Emphasis is placed upon how the composite digital format meets the needs of the user who records and distributes video in composite form.
