ANALOG VIDEO
ANALOG VIDEO
• Analog video refers to the transmission or storage of video signals in an analog
format, where the information is represented by continuously varying voltages or
frequencies.
• It is continuous and can be affected by noise and interference.
• It typically consists of three main components:
1. Luminance
2. Chrominance
3. Synchronization techniques
• Common analog video formats include Composite Video, Component Video, and S-
Video.
CAPTURING ANALOG VIDEO
• Capturing analog video involves converting analog signals from a video source,
such as a VHS player, camcorder, or analog camera, into a digital format that can
be stored, edited, and played back on digital devices.
• Steps involved in capturing analog video:
1. Select a video source
2. Analog to digital conversion
3. Software setup
4. Connect and configure
5. Start capture
