PDF (Vector) at a glance
PDF (Vector)
PDF inherited its imaging model from PostScript, then became ISO-standardized, which let it displace older print-exchange conventions in many workflows that once depended on pure page-description languages or encapsulated graphics formats.

TOD
TOD appeared with JVC's HD-capable Everio camcorders around 2006 as the high-definition counterpart to the earlier MOD format, using MPEG-2 Transport Stream rather than Program Stream to accommodate HD bitrates.
