DV Technology
Digital video, DV, is a revolutionary technology
that enables recording and playback of high
quality images with the use of special digital
features previously unavailable with conven-
tional analog formats.
• High horizontal resolution
Detailed, accurate images with the highest
level of horizontal resolution for home use.
• Clear color reproduction with virtually no
color contamination
Provides three times the color resolution of
conventional VCRs (based on Sharp models).
Clear images with virtually no distracting
color contamination (which usually appears
as red).
• Standard use of TBC (Time Base Corrector)
to prevent jittery images
Ensures stable images with a high signal-to-
noise ratio.
• PCM digital recording
PCM digital recording gives you high-quality
stereo sound that puts you in the middle of
the action.
The “DV” trademark can only be used on
digital VCR products which have been
evaluated and have met the specifications set
by the HD Digital VCR Conference for
Standardization of Consumer Use Digital
VCR Formats.
