Nearly all new video systems, on both the camera and display side, have gone digital. The advent of HDTV has led to much more stringent requirements on all the components in the video capture and display chain. The ADC and DAC devices are now among the highest performance for any application. Format conversion devices are needed to translate among the multiple TV display and computer-oriented standards. Complete analog front-ends provide the amplification, timing, and data conversion needed to capture the signal from digital still and video cameras.
