Abstract

Analog VTRs, such as Betacam or MII, are among the most common media in broadcasting or studio use for recording analog video and audio. The actual recording device in these videotape recorders (VTRs) is a stationary head for audio recording. Digital VTRs, such as D-1 or D-2, record video and audio digitally, and this method has achieved a tremendous improvement in performance. The latter is quickly becoming the main method of tape recording today. However, the drawback in digital recording is that editing in the audio channel is not easily performed. This article will report on basic recording principles that allow the best use of digital audio recording in commercially available 1/2-in. composite digital VTRs, such as D-3.
