to 21 hours of recording on one tape (DF-420) with D-VHS.
• Digital Camcorder recording - D-VHS is the best archiving medium for
your Digital Camcorder videos.You can make perfect digital copies (DV to D-VHS)
with up to 7 hours of recordings on one D-VHS cassette (DF-420).
Naturally D-VHS is also the perfect digital storage medium for your
analogue camcorder recordings.
• MPEG Encoder/Decoder – The encoder makes a perfect digital picture out of
your analogue signals.The decoder turns the digital signals in an analogue
signal, so you can enjoy perfect picture and sound quality on your normalTV.
• 100% backwards compatibility - We made sure that with a D-VHS recorder
you can still use existing VHS and S-VHS tapes for recording and playback.
By this means, D-VHS manages a smooth transition into the digital future.
