Audio and Time Code
In addition to the video, and regardless of the compression ratio used, the V1 records 0, 2, 4, 6 or
8 tracks of uncompressed audio (sampled at 48Khz). Each audio sample is coded on 2 bytes
(2*2*48000= 192 KB/s) and every field of time code is sampled on 80 bytes (29.97*2*80= 4.795
KB/s for 2 channels in NTSC and 25*2*6= 4 KB/s for 2 channels in PAL). The V1 can also
record up to 8 channels of AES/EBU digital audio, up to 6 channels of analog audio, and 8
channels of embedded audio on SDI.
Hopefully this introduction has explained to the reader the basic technical principles of digital
video disk recording.
