Digital8 records the same signal as DV but uses the less-expensive Hi8 tape and can play back old analog 8mm/Hi8 tapes. A 120-minute High 8 tape can record 60 minutes in Digital8 format. Digital8 has two PCM 16-bit audio channels and a Firewire port. It also has analog inputs, which are offered to consumers as an easy means of digitally archiving their existing VHS/VHS-C libraries.
