Definição do conceito
[ENG] Digital8 (Di8) | Digital8 (or Di8) is a consumer digital recording videocassette for camcorders based on the 8 mm video format developed by Sony, and introduced in 1999. | The Digital8 format is a combination of the earlier analog Hi8 tape transport with the digital DV codec. Digital8 equipment uses the same videocassettes as analog recording Hi8 equipment, but the signal is encoded digitally using the industry-standard DV codec, which means it has identical digital audio and digital video specifications compared with DV. | To facilitate digital recording on existing Hi8 video cassettes the helical scan video head drum spins 2.5× faster. For both NTSC and PAL Digital8 equipment, a standard-length 120-minute NTSC/90-minute PAL Hi8 magnetic tape cassette will store 60 minutes of Digital8 video (Standard Play) or 90 minutes (Long Play). There are 90-minute versions marketed specifically for Digital8, but these use thinner tape than the 60-minute ones. LP is model specific, such as the TRV-30, TRV-40, and others. Digital8 recordings can be made on standard-grade Video8 cassettes, but this practice is discouraged in the Sony user manuals, and Hi8 metal-particle cassettes are the recommended type for Digital8 recording. Most Hi8 tapes sold after the introduction of D8 are marked for both Hi8 and Digital8 usage. | SOURCE : Digital8. in: Wikipedia.

==============================
[ENG] Digital8 | Digital8 (also called D8) was a digital video cassette format for camcorders, introduced by Sony in 1999. | The cassette itself was the same as the Hi8 format, but the information was stored using the DV codec, used by other formats such MiniDV. | Hi8 metal-particle tapes could be used in Digital8 camcorders, but the drum in a Digital8 camcorder spins faster than Hi8, so a 60 minute Hi8 cassette will store just 40 minutes of digital video. | Digital8 remained a consumer format and was little used for broadcast. Most, though not all, Digital8 camcorders can play back analogue Video8 and Hi8 tapes. | The last Digital8 camcorder, the Sony DCR-TRV285, was discontinued in 2007. | Dimensions: 95 mm × 62.5 mm × 15 mm | SOURCE : MUSEUM OF OBSOLETE MEDIA.
