On the other hand, if you've come here looking for the original Frank's thoughts on HDV Web page, it's been taken offline due to lack of time in which to properly maintain it. However, a copy of the page as it appeared on January 25, 2008 can be found on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine Web site at the URL below. It's where you want to go if you need answers to questions such as What is HDV?, What's the HDV field order?, Who invented HDV?, What is x.v.Color (IEC 61966-2-4 xvYCC)?, What is the HDV GOP structure and how does it differ between 720p HDV and 1080i HDV?, etc. Along with HDV, the page also covers the AVCHD and XDCAM EX formats. Note that most of the links to PDF files on the Internet Archive's copy of the page no longer work — instead, use the Documentation Index link above.
