What is the difference between VHS and S-VHS?
S-VHS or Super-VHS was developed to increase the resolution quality of analog videotape. Whereas digital video uses individual pixels to determine video quality, VHS uses lines of horizontal resolution. Lines of horizontal resolution, or TV lines, are the measure of how many changes (details) can be represented on a single analog TV scanline. The number of TV lines is limited by the source video, media, connection type, and the TV itself. The increased tape density of the videotapes and use of S-Video allow S-VHS to deliver more than half again (400) as many TV lines as VHS (240-250), approaching broadcast quality in some cases. S-VHS VCRs are also capable of playing back standard VHS cassettes, although the only quality increase will come from the use of S-Video (separates black & white from color signal), and perhaps the generally better quality of S-VHS equpment vs. the more common VHS. Wiregrass Montage uses an S-VHS videotape player and S-Video cables to transfer all VHS and VHS-C
