Recognizing Digital Video from Past to Present

without comments

The history of the modern digital video started back in the 70s and 80s when the analog video input was digitized by means of time base connectors and digital video effects units. The signal, effects and manipulation of the video improved considerably afterwards. More digital video equipments were created in the Bosch research labs in the 70s but the commercial introduction took longer, with the first digital video available with Sony D-1 in 1986.

In the first forms of digital video, the analog source remained essential because it served for the digitized encoding that could be read by computers. Little by little, television transmissions adopted the digital video standard when passing from the analog to the digital signal. Soon, the appearance of the non-linear editing systems would mark the evolution of electronics for good. High definition television would not be possible without it.

All the communication devices designed and manufactured today included a digital video camera, not to mention that almost every family has such a piece of electronics in the household. Only the older phone models are camera-less. The more popular concept of camcorder (a device that combines the recorder and the camera) is winning the market as our society depends on the quick quality access to information more than ever. A digital video can be stored and copied without any degradation of the information; the clarity of the sound and image remains high quality if it was filmed properly.

Digital video applications are more numerous than just the private use with mobile phones; Internet communications and conferencing systems are the best examples here. The editing process has been made really simple and there is an avalanche of programs, softwares and tools that make editing possible. The most common format for editing a digital video with Internet applications is Windows Media while MPEG2 is exclusively used for DVDs.

One can hardly express the full number of applications and the usage extent of digital video technology nowadays. From corporate business use to home applications, digital technology has become not only relevant but characteristic of our society. And we can expect to use it in even more evolved forms over the coming decades. Digital video technology can still surprise us!
