Digital MiniDV camcorders introduced by such manufacturers as Sony, Phillips, Thomson, Hitachi and Panasonic improved on the digital recording capabilities of camcorders in a number of ways. MiniDVs improved the image recording resolution from a typical Digital8 format at 400 horizontal lines to 500. This greatly increased the sharpness of color images due to the increased amount of data capacity on MiniDVs by recording more color information. Because the format is recorded in a digital format (bytes), numerous reproductions are possible without losing video quality, which also lends itself to the ease of sharing video on computers and the Internet.
The audio quality of the MiniDV also offers substantial improvements. Many camcorder models offer stereo recording due to the increased audio recording capabilities of the MiniDVs, so the range of sounds recorded is greater, offering the listener a clearer and richer sound experience.
MiniDV tapes come in standard and miniature tape sizes. Because the tapes record digitally, many of the MiniDVs come equipped with features to allow editing and the creation of a table of contents directly on the tape. The recording length of most MiniDV tapes is 60 minutes.
