Video Format Characteristics
 

The VidiPax Videotape Format Guide is a survey of all NTSC videotape formats commercially introduced since 1956. It is intended as a reference tool and is not meant to be all encompassing but rather a "real world" survey of our recording heritage.

The Videotape Format Characteristics breaks down the various characteristics of each format. Videotape Format Descriptions gives a brief description and picture of each. Use the horizontal scroll bar to adjust the time line. Click on any item to learn more.

Special thanks to Mark Schubin for his assistance in putting this guide together
