Chapter 2:
Video Capture Equipment
Before I start talking about capturing equipment, I would like to draw your attention to various video-saving media. These media can be divided into analog and digital resources. Various magnetic tapes, including VHS and Hi8, are examples of analog-storing media. In these resources audio and video data are stored in the form of magnetic fields on a ribbon or positive film. Their quality will degrade with time and we need to digitize them in order to prevent losing video quality.
