Abstract
- The debate over digital compression has resurfaced following the leaking of a draft summary of results of tests by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) on rival digital component tape technologies. Panasonic's D5, Sony's Digital Betacam and Ampex's DCT were all tested, with questions raised about bit-rate reduction formats as used by Digital Betacam and DCT. Channel 4 is using the D5 format for its new 100 million pounds sterling facilities in Horseferry Road, Victoria, England. Channel 4 has suffered allegedly minor problems with D5, however. The EBU insists its tests were for internal use only.
