Various connections for editing tapes
The following three methods can be used for editing tapes.
●
VHS to S-VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Although the picture quality is inherently limited by the
original VHS quality, the edited tape has better picture
quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.
●
S-VHS to VHS editing (VIDEO-VIDEO connection):
Since the original source is recorded in S-VHS mode, the
edited tape has better picture quality than those made by
VHS-to-VHS editing.
●
S-VHS to S-VHS editing (S-VIDEO connection):
Original picture quality of S-VHS made can be duplicated
with minimal picture degradation. This is the best editing
method you can use on S-VHS VCRs.
