Sony, Canon, Sharp and JVC have announced they will create a
standard for digital recording. The four all manufacture camcorders which tape
sound and pictures to mini digital videocassettes.
A common standard will make high-definition recording
more easily available to consumers, as special equipment is needed to
record images with high quality equivalent to DVD-recorded pictures.
Part of the proposed specifications are already used for Victor's
"Gr-HD1" model, introduced in March, the companies said. They will make
the specifications final in September, the statement
said. |
