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:

    Self-expression is not enough; experiment is not enough; the recording of special moments or cases is not enough. All of the arts have broken faith or lost connection with their origin and function. They have ceased to be concerned with the legitimate and permanent material of art.
    Jane Heap (c. 1880–1964)

    A process of genocide is being carried out before the eyes of the world.
    Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)
