• It can reproduce images significantly sharper than standard 8mm and VHS-C camcorders — about 400 lines of resolution (up to 440 with Sony’s XR extended resolution scheme). • Your TV should have an S-video input to take advantage of Hi8’s improved resolution. • Hi8 (evaporated metal particle) videotape is required to take advantage of Hi8’s higher picture resolution, but all Hi8 camcorders can record in the lower-quality 8mm format. • Hi8 is not compatible with a VHS VCR. • One tape holds up to 2 hours at SP speed.
