How Super is the JVC Super VHS-C Camcorder?
Corrections and addendum: At 0:31 and again at 1:10 I say that Super VHS was introduced in 1985. It was actually introduced in 1987. At 6:42 I mention that you will need JVC equipment to play back SVHS-ET. This is not true, as JVC licensed out SVHS-ET technology to other brands, including Panasonic, Philips, and Sharp. Please note that at 5:36, I was using an SVHS adapter. An SVHS adapter will work with VHS tapes, but a regular VHS adapter lacks the "hole" that physically indicates that a tape is SVHS.
Super VHS was a considerable upgrade from standard VHS, as it offers about 420 lines of resolution compared the VHS at 240. Another innovation by JVC, Super VHS ET, allows recording SVHS quality on lower cost VHS tapes! This camcorder offers SVHS ET in a the compact form factor, SVHS-C. In this video I check out the features and footage of the JVC Compact VHS Camcorder Model No. GR-XSM320U with SVHS-ET capability.
From the product literature:
The JVC GR-SXM320U has three recording modes: It uses Super VHS recording to deliver up to 60% better resolution than standard VHS models for better quality home movies. For quality and economy, the Super VHS ET mode lets you take those high resolution videos using any VHS-C tape. For compatibility with any VHS video recorder, standard VHS is also available. A 2.5" LCD view screen allows the camera to be operated from any angle, for maximum comfort. The picture stabilizer gets rid of annoying picture shake. The 400X zoom makes sure you don't miss any of the action. A built-in light improves the picture in night time situations. Endurance Shooting allows up to two hours recording time with the provided battery pack. When you are done recording, the tapes play back & and can be shared in any VHS video recorder using the provided VHS-C Playback.
