How well does a small digital camera work compared to a big digital camera?

A small digital camera vs a big digital camera will work almost exactly the same. The differences are the features included. A big digital camera will have a viewfinder mechanism, an adjustable and interchangable lens, and a bigger sensor, while the small digital cameras will not.


What is a digital micrometer used to measure?

The digital micrometer just like the analog micrometer is used to measure thicknesses, diameters, etc. The main difference is that it is easier for the user to read (as is true of most digital vs. analog things).


What is the difference between analog and digital recording?

Although over 50 years old, the standard television signal is still one of the most common way to transmit an image. Figure 23-9 shows how the television signal appears on an oscilloscope. This is called composite video, meaning that there are vertical and horizontal synchronization (sync) pulses mixed with the actual picture information. These pulses are used in the television receiver to synchronize the vertical and horizontal deflection circuits to match the video being displayed. Each second of standard video contains 30 complete images, commonly called frames. A video engineer would say that each frame contains 525 lines, the television jargon for what programmers call rows. This number is a little deceptive because only 480 to 486 of these lines contain video information; the remaining 39 to 45 lines are reserved for sync pulses to keep the television's circuits synchronized with the video signal.Standard television uses an interlaced format to reduce flicker in the displayed image. This means that all the odd lines of each frame are transmitted first, followed by the even lines. The group of odd lines is called the odd field, and the group of even lines is called the even field.


What is the difference between digital camera from old camera?

You need to expand your question a bit more. Are you asking about the differences between digital vs. film? That question is being answered in other threads. OR.... Are you asking if you can convert a film camera to digital? The answer to that is yes, sometimes. Personally I would not recommend it, just go buy a digital camera.


What are the five basics of exploring a camcorder?

A camcorder, or video camera recorder, is a portable electronic device with the ability to capture and record video. Anyone shopping for a camcorder will quickly realize the market is flooded with hundreds of models from dozens of different manufacturers. Add to that an overwhelming number of feature choices, and purchasing a camcorder can be an even more challenging task. Without a basic knowledge of camcorders, sifting through the differences to find which features are standard on all camcorders and which are worth paying extra for can seem difficult. Read on to discover the five must-have features for all camcorders before investing in a new video camera recorder.Camcorder BasicsBefore deciding on one particular camcorder model, consumers should gain an understanding of camcorder functions and camcorder terminology in order to sort through the options and choose the model that best suits their needs. Knowing the difference between analog and digital recording and learning about the available formats will make the process of elimination much easier. How Camcorders WorkCamcoders are composed of a camera section and a recorder section. The camera section is made up of the lens and the imager. The sole purpose of the lens is to gather the light and focus it on the imager. The imager is what converts the light to an electrical charge. Most modern camcorders use either CCD or CMOS imagers. Although there are some differences in how the two types of imagers operate, they essentially produce the same results. The electronic video signal is then sent to the recorder, where it is either recorded as a track of magnetic patterns onto tape in an analog camcorder, or translated into binary code in a digital camcorder.Analog vs. Digital CamcordersCamcorders are differentiated according to whether they record in analog or digital form. Older, videotape-based camcorders record video in analog format. Analog camcorders use vacuum tube technology to record images, which imprints the image on a videotape. Analog tapes are known for degrading over time, but high-quality analog recordings often show more depth and detail than compressed digital recordings, without the background blur.Newer camcorders record digital videos onto a hard drive, disk, or flash memory card. The result is improved image quality and higher-resolution videos. Digital video recordings eliminate problems such as color bleeding, jitter, and fading that are often seen in analog recordings. Digital camcorders have the added benefit of being able to record digital still photos onto a memory card.Available FormatsBoth digital and analog camcorders are classified by the type of media they record to. Analog camcorders, now almost obsolete, record onto videotapes such as VHS, S-VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, and Hi8. The benefit of recording onto videotape was easy viewing and copying, but it was nearly impossible for amateur videographers to edit these tapes. Since the introduction of digital camcorders, several different recording formats have been put to the test. Each format has its pros and cons, and none is considered particularly superior to the others. The chart below lists some of the most common digital recording formats available for camcorders, along with the key characteristics of each.

Does the quality of HDMI cable make a difference...Monster vs. Generic?

No. It matters only when you are dealing with an analog signal. With digital signals the signal is there or its not. There is no improvement by choosing the really expensive monster cables.


What are some advantages of a HD video camera vs. a standard video camera?

HD video is a television standard that contains approximately 5 times the amount of data as standard definition television signals. HD is formatted as either 1080 line or 720 line. Both line counts are HD. 1080 line signals can be interlaced or progressive scan. (Interlaced requires two fields, or passes of the display, to fully update the image, progressive fully updates on every field) Frame rates can be 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 50 or 59.94 frames per second depending on the region or the type of content. HD signals in the studio are always digital whereas SD signals can still be processed as analog. Domestic equipment carries HD only on HDMI connectors. New equipment does not support HD on analog interfaces to reduce unauthorized copying of material. HD is always 16 : 9 aspect ratio (wide screen). In comparison, SD can be either 4 : 3 or 16 : 9 although wide screen SD is largely confined to European markets.


Audio and Video Converter Cables?

These days, audio and video cables seem to come in every shape and size under the sun. Whether you are trying to connect a new DVD player to an old TV or an old VCR to a new HDTV, there are plenty of options for how to connect all of your audio and video devices.Analog vs. Digital CablesMost connectors of older audio and video equipment is analog, meaning a variable change in voltage across a line. This is in contrsat to newer equipment which is digital, meaning a series of 1's and 0's across the line. These two methods are a bit tricky. Analog connectors can easily be transferred to other analog sources. An example of this would be a headphone to RCA adapter to connect, say, an iPod to a theater system through two Red and White cables. Digital cables can also be interchanged fairly easily as well, such as a DVI to HDMI cable, typically used to connect an older computer with a newer TV. The problem comes in, however, when you are converting from an analog signal to a digital signal.Connector BoxesTypically, in order to convert an analog signal to a digital signal, a converter box must be used. A converter box takes the analog signal and is able to create a digital signal from that, though these boxes due take up a bit of space (typically ranging in size from a deck of cards to a power supply size). One problem that occasionally comes up with digital converters is copy protection. Some standards, such as HDMI, have an optional Anti-Piracy flag that content makers and delivery systems can implement (DVD makers, DVD Players, Cable Boxes, etc.). These are in an effort to prevent High Definition signals from easily being copied. Special boxes can be purchased that are able to circumvent these protections, though they are extremely expensive and their legality may be subject to varying laws depending on where you live.Overall, it is typically fairly easy to convert signals from the sources available to what is needed. Often times these can be purchaesd at a local electronics store or online for much cheaper. Whether you are converting from analog to digtial, digital to digital, or analog to analog, typically the right cable is only a little bit of research away.


What is the difference between digital and analog voltage?

Analogue scales use mechanical components such as springs or levers to determine weight and display their measurements with a moving dial or with graduated beams and sliding weights (poises). Digital scales use an electronic load sensor such as a load cell to determine weight and convert this to a digital signal to be displayed on an LCD or LED. Notice that this is not the same as digital vs analog when it comes to electrical circuits. Scales which use electrical power to function, but are not digital (no microprocessors) are simply called Electronic Scales, not Analog Scales. The term Analog Scale in the industry typically refers to mechanical scales. Digital and electronic scales are more common these days as their price to performance ratio has greatly improved. They are also much easier to use than older analog scales. Accuracy is not a matter of analog or digital and both can be accurate or inaccurate depending on several factors just like a digital and an analog wrist watch can both have the wrong time. Generally speaking though, digital scales offer much finer display resolution.
