#3/4" or SVHS edit?
3 messages in this thread
Also, if you want any degree of edit control (which you'll need for 3/4", since
I don't think any models come w/flying erase heads), you'll have to get a true
industrial level S-VHS edit deck and an editing 3/4" deck, along w/a industrial
level controller (don't have numbers offhand, but each is a couple
thousand–used).
Your assumption is incorrect. 3/4" decks have had flying erase heads for 10 -15
years or more.
ell, as someone who's tried it both ways–while 3/4" is preferable because you
can get more composite info on the tape, you'll also need a time base
corrector/digital frame buffer to get S-VHS quality
This statement is also not true since every s-vhs system also has composite
outs. These outputs are the same quality as transcoding S-VHS- composite thru
an external TBC.

Really? All the ones *I've* ever dealt w/didn't–of course, that was mostly at
educational institutions & nonprofit organizations, so they didn't tend to have
the most up-to-date equipment…

I'm aware of the composite outputs on S-VHS machines–but frankly, every time
I've dubbed an S-VHS tape using the composite outlets to a composite VCR (3/4"
or VHS), the results have been, well, unfortunate (color shifts all over
creation, mushy image quality, etc.). OTOH, dubbing via a TBC or digital buffer
has always given me good results…
Anyway, that's always been my experience,
Tim

Further to this post, which 3/4" decks are currently available which have it?
I'd be interested in purchasing one for my job,
