Abstract

The arrival of new video and film equipment has been accelerated by technical innovation and the growing commonality of computer and video technology. This rapid convergence of computers and video has visibly blurred the distinction between the two technologies and has resulted in a multitude of new products with greatly enhanced capabilities. Additionally, the rapid development of new and more powerful integrated circuits has contributed to the speed of development and enabled equipment designers to pack greater functionality with vastly improved performance into the new product introductions. Lastly, progress in speeding the process of standardization and rapid adoption of these standards, particularly the digital standards, by manufacturers has led to a situation where users are confronted with a dizzying array of new product choices. The results of this extremely rich period of innovation can be seen throughout the spectrum of television and film equipment; some of its best examples are embodied in cameras, digital signal processing, digital tape recording, standards conversion, and audio and video data compression systems, to name only a few.
