VHS - Recording Process

Recording Process

In its most simplistic form, the recording process in VHS occurs in the following order:

  • Tape is pulled from the supply reel.
  • Tape is passed through the erase head - wiping existing recording from the tape.
  • Tape is placed onto the head drum, using more than 180-degrees of the drum.
  • Video is applied by the tape heads, to the tape, in a diagonal angle.
  • Audio and control tracks are applied to the tape.
  • The tape is then sent to the take-up reel.

Famous quotes containing the words recording and/or process:

    Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.
    Jessie Tarbox Beals (1870–1942)

    If thinking is like perceiving, it must be either a process in which the soul is acted upon by what is capable of being thought, or a process different from but analogous to that. The thinking part of the soul must therefore be, while impassable, capable of receiving the form of an object; that is, must be potentially identical in character with its object without being the object. Mind must be related to what is thinkable, as sense is to what is sensible.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
