From now on, before buying a new video camera, you will have to look at the new systems in the market, since there are more and more differences between one company and another called Hitachi, who has already put on the street a revolutionary video camera that will serve multimedia CDs, for the anger of other companies.

The MPEG system has ignited the new battle between companies. Hitachi has managed to do the miniaturization required by MPs: it has integrated the 300,000 accessories of the new system into a small chip that will only consume 600 milliwatios.

Therefore, the new and small video camera will be for manual use. Hitachi has broken the truce to date, as the main companies that were considering using the system called DVC, but from now on all Japanese will have to follow the open path.
