thumb|A JVC KY D29 Digital-S pro camcorder Digital-S, later known as D-9, is a professional digital 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. It was used to a small extent in Europe and Asia and saw some use in the US, notably by the Fox News Channel, but was a commercial failure compared with Digital Betacam. It was superseded by high-definition tapeless formats.
