Old HDTV Footage...
Wow!, 1080P HD from 1993...
https://archive.org/details/youtube-fT4lDU-QLUY Blurb... Captured from a D-Theater HD DVHS Demo Tape. In 2002 D-Theater launched in the US - the dealers needed a demo tape of HD footage. JVC reused some HD video that had been shot as a demo for the Japanese HD market back in 1993. This footage would have most likely been originally used for a HiVision MUSE Laserdisc demo. You can tell the year is 1993 by the adverts in Times Square - the Radio 501 CD that's advertised on a billboard came out in 1993 and Paper Moon is playing at the Marquis Theater. For those wondering what HD video camera tech existed in 1993 - there are a few options, but it's likely that this footage was shot with a HDVS camera- perhaps a Sony SONY HDC-500 a to a HDV-10 portable recorder which recorded on UniHi 3/4" tape. |

I should check if I have that tape. I bought a couple of D-VHS decks and boxes of tape at the ETF. Have only watched some of the tapes so far. It is really cool and sort of freaky to watch real HDTV from a VCR on a CRT (Sony super-fine-pitch Wega) TV...

Definitely captured with a Sony Saticon camera - the only things available were the Sony's and some one-off BTS cameras built for the ACATS testing of other formats besides 1125i.
The footage seems to have a lot of coding artifacts - wondering what version I'm seeing at the link? If it's the 32.9 MB H.264 version, it's only 793 kb/s average; that's really bit starving the original quality. |

Nope, Digital.
I have "something" that is Analog, not ready to post it yet... |
