DV Technology

Digital video (DV) is a revolutionary technology that enables recording and playback of high quality images with the use of special digital features previously unavailable with conven- tional analog formats.

DV and conventional video cassette tapes

There are two kinds of DV-format video cassette tapes: the Mini DV cassette and the larger DV cassette used for extended playback and recording. This camcorder only operates with Mini DV cassettes. DV cassettes cannot be used. Be sure to use Mini DV cassettes with the imark.
