Hi-8 Video formats

At 8mm, the tape was smaller, and revolutionised home video.

Hi8 (analogue)
Like S-VHS, Hi8 uses S-Video processing to produce better quality images in playback. Hi8 recordings are made using Metal Evaporated tape coatings which produce much higher resolution recordings. As an analogue recording medium, Hi8 produces a significantly higher quality than, say, VHS and is on a par with S-VHS. However, the main advantage of the format is its small size. The 90 minutes maximum recording time can be achieved with far less tape than, say, VHS. The smaller tape size has enabled the manufacturers to produce smaller-sized camcorders. It is from this than the Sony Handycam product range emerged (and others since). Of the non-digital formats (eg: mini-DV, Digital8, DVC-Pro, DV-Cam), Hi8 is considered to be the better analogue format.
