DVCPro is a variant of the digital video standard and was developed by Panasonic in 1995 for use in electronic reporting .

technology

In contrast to the standard DV system, DVCPro uses color subsampling according to the 4: 1: 1 standard, for both 50 Hertz and 60 Hertz versions, in order to avoid generation loss. Sound tracks are recorded with 16 bit / 48 kHz. In addition, the track width with DVCPro has been increased by 8 μm to 18 μm, which reduces the risk of dropouts . Two longitudinal tracks provide support for timecode . The tape is transported 80% faster than standard DV. This results in a shorter recording time and in the unavailability of a long play mode.
