The image was as sharp and as clear as anything I’ve ever seen in my life for a home movie. To say I was stunned would be an understatement. I did this after having watched a home video at a friend’s house, which used digital video. Years ago I made a decision to purchase a digital video camcorder.

I’d like to add my own personal story to the mix, especially when it comes to video. This is an excellent introduction on the difference between digital and analog signals. Right now they're both out of my price reach call me a laggard with the new technology.

Of course now High Definition video is all the rage, and it’s being output not only from the digital camcorders but the still cameras as well. It’s become fashionable to say the digital camcorders are “broadcast quality,” and unless you are a trained video professional you won’t notice much of a difference. Some of the consumer grade digital camcorders are comparable in quality to the old Betacam standard, which was the gold standard for television broadcasting for a long time. I can tell you that in video production digital is the preferred standard. June 24, - Yeah, I work in video on the side. The vast majority of television stations have made the switch to digital so you’ll have to switch one way or another if you want to keep receiving those signals. Without it, you won’t see anything unless you have satellite or cable television. You can get these boxes pretty cheap I have one and it was easy to install. It will convert your TV signals to digital so that you can watch digital television broadcasts. If you’ve been really late to the game you can get an analog to digital signal converter box. June 27, - Everything is going digital, especially television.
