3CCD 16:9 DV/DVcam Recording

 

DV is a worldwide format that was launched in 1995 for the recording and playback of digital video. Sony then launched their professional extension of the DV format in 1996, with DVCAM. Both Standard DV Camcorders and Sony DVCAM Camcorders use 8-bit digital component recording with a 5:1 compression ratio, but there are differences in functionality between the two.

DV Camcorders

DV Camcorders generally offer longer recordings of over three hours on a large cassette and up to 63 minutes with a small cassette. Using DCT, DV Camcorders ensure that every video frame is compressed individually, resulting in high quality video. In terms of audio, the DV Camcorder uses unlocked audio and either two linear PCM channels or four non-linear PCM channels.

DVCAM Camcorders

Sony DVCAM Camcorders work in a similar way to Standard DV Camcorders, but have a shorter recording time and use recorded audio slightly differently. DVCAM Camcorders use 15 μm track pitch, which is approximately 50% wider than DV Camcorders – this means that the tape transports faster on DVCAM Camcorders but with reduced overall recording time. DVCAM Camcorders, as opposed to DV Camcorders also use locked audio to prevent audio synchronisation.

One impressive aspect of DVCAM Equipment is that it can play back SP Mode DV Camcorder Recordings, ensuring your results are transferable.
