What Does Digital Video (DV) Mean?
Digital video (DV) is video that is captured and stored in a digital format as ones and zeros, rather than a series of still pictures captured in film. Digital, versus analog, signals are used. Information is processed and stored as a sequence of digital data for easy manipulation by computers, but the video is still presented to the viewer through a screen in analog form.
Techopedia Explains Digital Video (DV)
Digital video is composed of a series of orthogonal bitmap (BMP) images displayed in constant rapid succession with common frequencies of 15, 24, 30 and 60 frames per second (FPS); the more frames the DV has, the more movement details are captured or displayed.
