same specifications as Video8 with double resolution
An eight millimeter tape format which provides better video quality by using s-video technology.
An improved version of the 8mm tape format capable of recording better picture resolution ( definition). A higher-density tape is required which provides a wider luminance bandwidth, resulting in sharper picture quality (over 400 horizontal lines vs. 240 for standard 8mm) and improved signal-to-noise ratio. Camcorders using this format are very small, light and provide a picture quality equivalent to S-VHS.
Is an 8mm video tape format created by Sony.
High-density camcorder tape
A higher-quality version of 8 mm videotape, with better definition, resolution, and S/N ratio. Comparable in quality to S-VHS; higher quality than the standard 8mm format. Often used as an acquisition format.
A modified form of the Sony 8mm video recording format that produces higher quality by splitting the video signal into black and white (Y) and colour (C) information, i.e. it records/replays S-video.
Video format technically similar to SVHS which uses smaller cassettes.
The high quality version of 8mm.
A high-quality 8mm analog camcorder format that produces 400 lines of resolution.
Eight millimeter tape format with improved video quality similar to that of Super VHS (S-VHS) tape featuring higher luminance resolution (compared to standard VHS or standard 8 millimeter tape) and separate luminance and chrominance carriers (Y/C) for a more detailed picture.
A Sony videotape format using 8 mm tape. High quality and compact, Hi-8 is marketed for ENG (Electronic News Gathering).
Just as VHS and VHS-C have a higher resolution version called Super VHS, 8mm has a sharper version called Hi8. It needs a TV with S-video input to see the effects.Like Super VHS, it gives about 400 lines of resolution. Recording time: 120 minutes at standard speed (SP), and 240 minutes at lower speed (LP).
