ª Digital Video System
In a digital video system, images and sounds are
converted into digital signals and recorded on a
tape. This complete digital recording is capable of
recording and playback with minimal image and
sound deterioration.
In addition, it automatically records data, such as
Time Code and date/time, as digital signals.
Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
Because this Palmcorder employs a digital system
for recording image and sound data, the cassette is
not compatible with conventional S-VHS or VHS
video equipment that employs an analog recording
system.
The size and shape of the Cassettes are also
different.
