Camcorders Analog Digital
What’s the difference between analog and digital camcorders?
The difference is in the storage media.
Analog can only use streaming magnetic tape, the visual and audio waveforms are recorded as varying strength of magnetic field. This is similar to Audio Cassette recording except a rotating head is used to increase the head to tape speed.
Digital records differently. The first storage media for digital was streaming tape called miniDV. This records not the relative strength of a waveform, but magnetic pulses that can be interpreted as on-off bits or binary data. Digital can now be compressed with greater efficiency so that a Hard Drive, DVD burner or even Flash Card can be used instead of the streaming tape.
