I came to Wikipedia to look up some of the terminology in article Digital Video & HDTV.

Digitized Video Standards NTSC PAL SMPTE 259M CCIR 656 EU95 SMPTE 292M

Serial Digital Video Formats SMPTE 259M ITU-R601 CCIR 656 EU95 SMPTE 292M

Are "ITU-R601" and "CCIR 656" the same as CCIR 601? Did EU95 become DVB ?

[edit] Uncompressed digital video bit rate

The article mentions the bit rate of roughly 400 MBit/s. By my calculation, standard definition digital PAL would have a bit rate of around 160 MBit/s at 8-bit per sample and 4:2:2 color sampling.

[edit] comparison with analogue formats

can someone make a section on this please? --AlexOvShaolin 19:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] digital vs electronic, video vs still

In the first paragraph the article claims Digital video was first used in television cameras and then goes on to explain the first VTR which was of course analogue. The next paragraph claims 1960s lunar probes used digital imaging, but in reality they were also analogue. Furthermore the latter sent still images, not video. Third, the article claims that the Sony Mavica was an example of digital video, but once again this camera stored still image as an analogue signal. It appears the author confuses rastered images and digital, still image and moving image all the time. This article needs a serious cleanup. Anorak2 (talk) 04:44, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
