is intended to provide the facility to record high-definition (as
opposed to standard definition) MPEG-2 video on standard DV media (DV or
MiniDV cassette tape)."

* The output of a high definition video device (such as an HDTV
set-top box), or the input of an HDTV receiver or monitor, comprised of

(Color) signals (Pb - blue) and (Pr - red). ...
