D-9 or Digital-S as it was originally known, is a professional digital video videocassette format created by JVC in 1995.
It is a direct competitor to Sony's Digital Betacam. Its name was changed to D-9 in 1999 by the SMPTE.[1][2] It was used to a small extent in Europe and Asia and saw some use in the US, notably by the Fox News Channel,[3] but was a commercial failure compared with Digital Betacam. It was superseded by high definition tapeless formats.
