Video Camera Evolution and Development

  • Bolex H-16

    Bolex H-16
    This camera type having a 16mm film was used to create popular home videos.
  • Video Surveillance

    Video Surveillance
    Wireless Internet technology has been married with digital video cameras to create video surveillance cameras that could be monitored through any standard Internet browser.
  • Televison Video Camera

    Televison Video Camera
    The original video camera designs utilized vacuum tubes that could get extremely hot over time. As the technology advanced, the tubes started to get smaller and smaller, which allowed the cameras to get smaller. Eventually, the tubes in video cameras were replaced with solid-state components and the television video cameras became extremely portable. Thanks to these innovations, we are now able to see live news as it happens and capture important images on video for future generations to enjoy.
  • Camcorders VHs

    Camcorders VHs
    Specialized videocassette recorders were introduced by JVC (VHS) and Sony (U-matic, with Betamax) releasing a model for mobile work. Portable recorders meant that recorded video footage could be aired on the early-evening news, since it was no longer necessary to develop film.
  • Camcorder -Betamax tape

    Camcorder -Betamax tape
    Betamax (also called Beta, as in its logo) is a consumer-level analog-recording and cassette format of magnetic tape for video.
    The name had a double meaning: beta is the Japanese word used to describe the way in which signals are recorded on the tape.
  • Digital Video Cameras- D1 cameras

    Digital Video Cameras- D1 cameras
    The Nikon D1 is a digital single-lens reflex camera. The camera body strongly resembled the F5 and had the same general layout of controls, allowing users of Nikon film SLR cameras to quickly become proficient in using the camera. Autofocus speed on the D1 series bodies is extremely fast, even with "screw-driven" AF lenses. Its Great!!!
  • Digital Video Camera- DCT

    Digital Video Camera- DCT
    In 1993, a company called Ampex released the first compressed digital video camera called the DCT, which allowed hours of video recording to be done on one tape. The breakthrough in compressed digital video technology opened a floodgate of products and innovations by Sony, Panasonic, and a long list of other technology companies. The video cameras were getting smaller, but the picture quality was improving dramatically thanks to the digital technology.
  • No more Tape-• Sony XDCAM

    No more Tape-•	Sony XDCAM
    XDCAM is a series of products for digital recording using random access solid-state memory media. Four different product lines – the XDCAM SD, XDCAM HD, XDCAM EX and XDCAM HD422 – differ in types of encoder used, frame size, container type and in recording media. None of the later products have made earlier product lines obsolete. Sony maintains that different formats within XDCAM family have been designed to meet different applications and budget constraints.
  • 3D- Sony HDR –TD10

    3D- Sony HDR –TD10
    In 2010, the very first 3D video cameras were introduced, and the technology was soon introduced on smartphones as well. The next generation of video camera technology is called 4K Ultra HD, and it is expected to offer clarity and editing options that have never been seen before.
