-
HDV is a format for recording and playback
of high-definition video on a DV cassette tape
-
The format was originally developed by JVC
and was supported by Sony, Canon and Sharp.
-
The four companies formed the HDV consortium
in September 2003. Conceived as an affordable high definition
format, HDV quickly caught on with many professional users due
to its low cost, portability and image quality acceptable for
many professional productions.
-
Two major versions of HDV are HDV 720p and
HDV 1080i. The former is used by JVC and is informally known
as HDV1. The latter is preferred by Sony and Canon and is
sometimes referred to as HDV2.
-
The HDV 1080i defines optional progressive
recording modes, and in recent publications is often called
HDV 1080 or 1080-line HDV as progressive 1080-line recording
becomes commonplace.
Most HDV camcorders use "small" MiniDV/DVC
cassettes. Some shoulder-mount camcorders are also capable of
recording onto "large" DV/DVCAM cassettes. The
recording time is the same as DV Standard Play. Unlike DV, HDV
does not offer Long Play speed.
-
HDV is backwards compatible with DV, meaning
that HDV equipment can play and record DV content. On the
other hand, DV devices cannot play nor record in HDV format.
