Abstract

Over 50 years have already passed since the start of TV broadcasting service, and terrestrial broadcasting will be discontinued in 3 years. TV broadcasting equipments, technology, and shooting procedure have been dramatically changed in a half century; such as from film camera to ENG style shooting. Hi-Vision broadcast becomes a major trend of the broadcasting system nowadays."We should remember that Emergence of ENG is not only a shift from use of film to electricity in shooting, but also a historic and great technology reinvention in TV broadcasting. And, it had an immeasurable impact on development of TV program." (Shuichi Nakayama, April 1, 1992)The changes are also seen in audio technology. It has been shifted from 6 mm tape recording to VTR, monaural to stereo sound, and stereo sound to surround-sound system. In terms of editing, film dubbing is now changed to Sound Post Production such as MAV or MA (or in another word, Sound Sweetening) and non-linear editing. The final product is now D-2VTR, but used to be 16 mm Cinematic tape and 1 inch VTR. This report discusses how TV has been taped and edited with the times based on my experiences.
