JVC's explorations extract new strengths from VHS format
Article Abstract:
Victor Company of Japan Ltd (JVC), which brought about the widely-popular VHS format for video recording, recently developed the Super VHS Expansion Technology (S-VHS ET). The new technology, which already works with the NTSC signal format, enables standard VHS tapes to offer 400 or more scanning lines in resolution, which ws previously possible only with High Grade Super VHs (S-VHS) tapes. In June 1998, JVS began marketing in the US and Japan, a Super VHS VCR with S-VHS ET capability, which is lower-priced than previous S-VHS VCRs as it uses a common chip for incoming and outgoing signals.
