 | | D2 is not a pure digital format, as the inputs and outputs are standard analog composite ports. |
 | | The Type C format replaced the 2 inch "Quad" systems as the premium standard of the time because it was the first to offer many of the features in a videotape format that we currently take for granted, such as: viewable still-frames, slow and fast motion, and picture in shuttle. |
 | | The DV format compresses the video signal at a rate of 5:1, and the ratio of samled data are 4:1:1, which allocates 4 parts of the sample to the fl-and-white data (luminance) of the component signal, and 1 part each for both of the color portions (chrominance) of the sample of the component signal. |
