What is HDV?
We’ve built this HDV educational area in order to detail the advantages of HDV, as well as the challenges. It is a common misconception that the HDV and HD formats are the same — they are not. Our HDV Primer provides background on what HDV is, how it differs from HD, and why it is an important format for videographers to begin to understand and incorporate into their workflow — sooner rather than later.
