We have a Canon still video set-up.  The 2 inch floppy stores an *analog*
color video signal.  The floppy can store 50 fields or 25 full frames.
We use the playback unit to generate TV signals which we digitize with
a frame grabber.

Supposedly the floppy format is standard among several Japanese
companies such as Canon and Sony.
