What is DV file format ?
The DV file formatted document is an image
document compressed with the same method
(algorithm) used by DV equipment. A single image
(720 X 480 pixels, 16,770,000 colors) saved in this
format can be compressed to about 120 KB for DVB
2000 and a single image (720 x 576 pixels, 16,770,00(
colors) to about 140 KB for DVBK-2000E.
Any image displayed on the preview, album or libi
window of DV software is a simply-decoded image
You can display the original image by decoding it.
When you change the image format into BMP / PIC
the data size of a single still image becomes about 1
MB for DVBK-2000 and about 1.3 MB for DVBK-
2000E.
How captured images are managed ?
DV software groups and manages the captured stil
images in units called "Album" or "Library".
• Album: Each album contains the image files, whi
is exactly the same as the relation between pictui
and an album.
• Library: Each library file contains the représentai
image files picked up from a tape.
Album and library files are managed with a
management file with ".DVA" extension, (no
extension for Macintosh)
When cm Album or Library is made for the first tin
folder with the same name as the management file
made in the place where the management file is
stored. The captured images are stored in the fold
Each Album or Library can store up to 150 capture
images. (The maximum number of images depend
your system configuration.)
