The history of the modern digital video started back in the 70s and 80s when the analog video input was digitized by means of time base connectors and digital video effects units. The outcome of such experiments was the improvement of the video quality for manipulation, effects and signal. Bosch also created digital video equipments in the 70s but they remained lab research only until 1986 when the first digital video was created with Sony D-1.

The first types of digital video formats depended on the use of an analog source that served as the starting point for the digitized encoding in computer-readable patterns. Little by little, the passage from analog to digital signal became predominant with television transmissions adopting the digital video standards. Soon, the appearance of the non-linear editing systems would mark the evolution of electronics for good. This progress contributed significantly to the introduction of the high definition television.

At present, almost every family has at least one digital video camera, not to mention that the technology is available with all the communications devices we use today. There is hardly any mobile phone model that does not incorporate a digital video camera. The more popular concept of camcorder (a device that combines the recorder and the camera) is winning the market as our society depends on the quick quality access to information more than ever. Digital video information can be stored without any danger of degradation or data corruption; the clarity of the sound and image remains high quality if it was filmed properly.

Besides the combined use with mobile phones, digital video has lots of applications with video conferencing systems as well as with communications on the Internet. The editing process has been made really simple and the Internet abounds in programs, tools and softwares that are provided for free download. Windows Media and MPEG2 are the most common of Internet applications that perform digital video editing.

One can hardly express the full number of applications and the usage extent of free digital video technology nowadays. From corporate business use to home applications, digital technology has become not only relevant but characteristic of our society. And more evolved forms are expected to appear. Digital video technology can still surprise us!
