(DV) out
DV (Digital Video) is the standard for consumer digital video. DV complies with the same IEEE1394 interface
standard as the DFW Series. Thanks to data-compression technology, the transmission speed of DV is
approximately 25 Mb/s. This figure is about 1/5 of the transmission speed of the DFW Series (no compression).
DV can be connected to a PC and various application software is available for DV. Users can therefore enjoy the
high quality of DV compression with the excellent line-up of the DVCAM Series. The DXC-C33/C33P is equipped
with a DV output terminal so that images can be recorded into an i.LINK interface-equipped VTR with no quality
deterioration.
This feature is first to be introduced to small 3-CCD cameras.
Why was the DVCAM format Born?
