An Analytical Approach to the Standardization of Digital Videotape Recorders
Jurgen K. R. Heitmann · SMPTE Journal · 1982
An agreement has been reached between the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers and the European Broadcasting Union concerning the most important parameters for digital television signal origination. It is now possible to proceed with standardization of the videotape recorder. The parameters that must be considered toward this goal are discussed. Conclusions are reached about the basic standardization principles that must be taken into account. It is stated what parameters must be standardized and which ones will not preclude compatibility if not standardized.
