ABOUT DV
EN5
The digital camcorder converts incoming audio and video signals into digital form for recording.
A video signal is composed of a luminance signal (Y) and colour signals (R-Y and B-Y). These signals are
identified and recorded digitally (Digital Component Recording). The A/D (Analogue to Digital) converter
samples the Y signal at 13.5 MHz, and R-Y and B-Y at 6.75 MHz, and changes them to an 8-bit quantum
signal.
Sound sampled at 48 kHz is changed to a 16-bit quantum signal, and sound sampled at 32 kHz is converted to
a 12-bit signal.
NOTE:
The data recorded on a tape is digital, but the output of this camcorder is analogue.

This enables you to display the date and
time during playback, even if they weren’t
displayed while recording.
