analog, of the video signal. The terms camera, video camera, and camcorder are used interchangeably in this article.Early experiments with digital video were first accomplished throughout the 1960s by the research departments of entities such as the
BBC and
Bell Laboratories, both developing such to eliminate the introduction of noise and distortion on video feeds for television sent over the terrestrial microwave relay and coaxial cable circuits of the day.
