supports playing times of up to one hour. The DV format used in the professional sector supports
playing times of up to three hours.
playing times of up to three hours.
DV-In—Usually, the DV jack of a camcorder can transport video data in both directions— to and from the
camcorder. Many camcorders in Europe do not feature DV-In, however. Also see -> Enabling.
camcorder. Many camcorders in Europe do not feature DV-In, however. Also see -> Enabling.
Enabling—Due to European import duties, imported digital video recorders are more expensive than
imported digital video playback devices. For this reason, manufacturers of camcorders have begun to
modify their products for the European market and to disable the digital input -> DV-In. Needless to say,
clever developers found a way around this restriction very quickly. This is known as “enabling”. Enabling
the DV camcorder is a precondition for sending video material back to the camcorder. Enablers are
available for almost all camcorders and can be purchased freely.

Fading—Fades are soft transitions, often involving special effects, from one clip to the next.
Fields—Rather than displaying 25 frames per second (as per the PAL standard), 50 fields are displayed
per second to reduce TV display flicker. These fields consist of either the odd-numbered rows (these are
sent first) or the even rows of the image being displayed.

Frame rate—The number of frames within a given period of time. The frame rate is frequently stated in
frames per second (FPS).

Hi8—Analog video recording system that separates color and brightness information, thus offering
quality better than that of VHS-C, for example.

Hosiden connector—a small connector with four conductors used for -> S video signals.
IEEE-1394—This is a universal bus system originally developed by Apple for digital data communica-
tions. The devices are connected by cables with a maximum length of 4.5 m. The system supports
transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps. However, a standard has not been established for video data due to
the lack of specifications for the format of video data using this bus. Sony got down to brass tacks and
closed this gap by installing FireWire™ sockets in its digital camcorders and developing its own
protocol. Thanks to FireWire™ and the Sony protocol, the dream of loss-free video editing has finally
come true.

Interlacing—see Fields.
Linear editing—The origins of linear video editing date back to analog video. The original video data is
generally present in the same sequence as the edited video clips. A simple form of linear video editing
would be to copy material from an analog video camera to a VCR and discard a number of clips in the
process. However, if you would like to insert a new clip in the middle, it would be necessary to copy all
of the following clips again.
