Characteristics of video streams Number of frames per second įrame rate, the number of still pictures per unit of time of video, ranges from six or eight frames per second ( frame/s) for old mechanical cameras to 120 or more frames per second for new professional cameras. Since 2013, the usage of digital cameras in Hollywood has surpassed the use of film cameras. The development of high-resolution video cameras with improved dynamic range and color gamuts, along with the introduction of high-dynamic-range digital intermediate data formats with improved color depth, has caused digital video technology to converge with film technology. The advent of digital broadcasting and the subsequent digital television transition are in the process of relegating analog video to the status of a legacy technology in most parts of the world. Advances in computer technology allow even inexpensive personal computers and smartphones to capture, store, edit and transmit digital video, further reducing the cost of video production and allowing program-makers and broadcasters to move to tapeless production. After the invention of the DVD in 1997, and later the Blu-ray Disc in 2006, sales of videotape and recording equipment plummeted.

However, prices gradually dropped over the years in 1971, Sony began selling videocassette recorder (VCR) decks and tapes into the consumer market. Video recorders were sold for US$50,000 in 1956, and videotapes cost US$300 per one-hour reel. In 1951, the first VTR captured live images from television cameras by writing the camera's electrical signal onto magnetic videotape. Charles Ginsburg led an Ampex research team developing one of the first practical video tape recorders (VTR). Video was originally exclusively a live technology. Video technology was first developed for mechanical television systems, which were quickly replaced by cathode-ray tube (CRT) television systems. Video, by contrast, encodes images with electromagnetic waves. Video was invented decades after film, which records a sequence of miniature images visible to the eye when the film is physically examined.
