New York City in 1993 in HD - DTheater DVHS Demo Tape

Captured from a D-Theater HD DVHS Demo Tape - more here: • Remember when HD Movie...
In 2002 D-Theater launched in the US - the dealers needed a demo tape of HD footage. JVC reused some HD video that had been shot as a demo for the Japanese HD market back in 1993.
This footage would have most likely been originally used for a HiVision MUSE demo (an HD Broadcast, Tape & Laserdisc format).
You can determine that the year is 1993 by the adverts in Times Square - The Radio 501 CD that's advertised on a billboard came out in 1993 and Paper Moon is playing at the Marquis Theater.
For those wondering what HD video camera tech existed in 1993 - there are a few options, but it's likely that this footage was shot with a HDVS camera- perhaps a Sony SONY HDC-500 attached to a HDV-10 portable recorder which recorded on UniHi 3/4" tape.
Music - Living for the City - Muzak Version (Originally Stevie Wonder) / Autumn in New York - Kimiko Itoh
HEY DO YOU WANT TO LICENCE (LICENSE) THIS VIDEO?
Loads (I mean loads) of people making TV and Film have asked if they can licence this footage for their production set in the 1990s. The answer is - 'It's not mine to licence'. The video was shot by a crew for JVC in Japan in 1993. Apparently some people have tried contacting JVC in Japan and they have no records of this. Not exactly a surprise. So if you want to use this footage you're out of luck - no need to email me - all I know is I found it on a demo tape - end of story.

It's a fad for infantile low intelligence mental infants. If you want actual high quality look for actual film scans, film resolution is actually pretty good so you can easily get real 4k direct scans off 16mm film archives and 8k scans off 35mm video film. Actual film high quality raw scans is what you're looking for, not fad software that's fake and AI doesn't actually exist. It's a sales gimmick to make you feel special about yourself.

High quality film was very common commercially. It was home theater that was low definition. When they 'remaster' old films into HD, they're just taking the original high quality master and releasing it to the general public instead of the down scaled and letterboxed versions we saw at home back in the day.

@FIDEL_CASHFLOW_ Жыл бұрын

@@natsfan100 partially true. It depends on how old of a film we are talking. If this was before I'd say the 1970s, a lot of those movies were stored on actual physical film and that was the only copy of available. The film was physically degraded so they had to usually, before computers, go frame by frame and do hand cleanups and sharpening filters.

Consider one thing: Any professional 35mm film footage of that time, if well-preserved, would translate to HD and 2K and 4K resolution. People tend to think of the resolution of consumer end products (VHS, Laserdiscs, DVD's) as equivalent to the actual source media (16mm/35mm/70mm film, Broadcast master tapes, etc). HD video production was happening in Japan in the 1980's but HD as a consumer reality in America happened 20 years later.

@mel816 5 ай бұрын

To be fair, the reason why it took so long for HD video to become a common consumer item was because the early analog HD systems (like the Sony HDVS used here) were insanely expensive and was more a production rather than a consumer format. It was only by the mid 1990's when microprocessors became faster and cheaper along with the development of digital compression codecs that HD video became more practical for consumers.

I love coming back to this video every once in a while and every time this puts me in awe. I was born in the early 2000s, after the attacks on the towers, and this is the closest thing I will have to look back on new york before they happened. Looking back at photos and videos of the city before then always gets me a bit emotional, I wish I could've seen the skyline and the towers with my own eyes rather than through a lens. Don't get me wrong, one world trade center is an engineering and architectural marvel but looking at photos of the manhattan skyline with the new tower vs the twin towers, that view just seems unmatched in my eyes, it just seems a bit empty for lack of a better term. but one thing i do really love seeing with the skyline now is seeing one world trade center with the beams from where the twin towers once stood, that view really gets me emotional and it's just beautiful.

Each of them contributed to this video, making it so bright, wonderful, positive, real - and for this I want to thank them and wish them all the best. P.S: I met a guy with a ponytail on KZfaq, a very cool guy. I wish him all the best😊

The camera head and the accompanying lens each cost a quarter million back in 1991/1992, or about a half million today each when adjusted for inflation in 2018. The recorder that shot this video had 20 MHz of luma bandwidth, which translates to 640 vertical lines of horizontal resolution. The two chroma channels had a bandwidth of 5 MHz or about 160 vertical lines of horizontal resolution for each channel. The signal format was 1125/60/2:1, which means there are 1125 total horizontal lines, of which only 1035 are active, for the spatial resolution, 60 Hz scanning frequency for the temporal resolution, and interlaced scanning mode is implied by "2:1." Here's the product information page, there is a dearth of information available about this even online: www.broadcaststore.com/store/model_detail.cfm?id=16388 Here's a rental store that offers the same camera on a daily basis, and probably still makes money today renting these things out: www.mm-technology.de/rental/hd01.html

It was shot on an old analog high-definition 3/4" format VCR called "UNI-HI" (with model no. HDV-10) introduced in 1984 and used videocassette tapes that could each hold up to 62 minutes of footage encoded as an analog component signal (Y/B-Y/-R-Y). It was based on the old U-Matic VCR format. The resolution was about 640 lines for the luma channel, and the resolution was about 320 lines equally split between the two separate chroma channels. The signal-to-noise ratio was 42 decibels, equating to a dynamic range of 7 stops, or a contrast ratio of roughly 128:1. In digital terms, that's the equivalent of 210 Mbps (not bad for a 1984 VCR).

Growing up alongside the rise of the internet and computers, seeing the twin towers get smashed into in 1st grade on Live TV in class (don't know why the teacher thought that was a good idea for small children to see..), then the "War on Terror".

What an amazing time to be alive it was. No internet and no cell phones, just the right amount of comforts and technology. It was fun, really. And great music hits too. I guess the 9/11 changed our perspective for the worse, people aren't that happy since then imo Thank you very much for the upload, I love it.

@imacg5658 5 ай бұрын

I don't think it's the cell phones, but I definitely do think it is 9/11. Usually, cultures end in a gradual way. The 80's had a smooth gradient into the 90's, with the introduction of easier computing and access to greater color gamuts. However, the the 90's and the 2000s were a very immediate switch. From people I have asked, and things I have seen, a lot of people had a very immediate shift of feeling and mood once 9/11 happened. The economy also went to shit directly after due to the sudden loss of a large financial construct, and the practical death of the travel industry. Many people lost the feeling of strength, indestructibility, and safety that many used to have back then, as US citizens, and that effect still shows today, although things are definitely recovering as more generations pad the gap. (Also people in the 90s also wore suits so much better than people in the 2000s omg) -- a 2007 kid

Wow this is mesmerizing!! I was a kid in the 90's and my uncle lived in NYC and operated horse drawn carriages in Central Park. He would come back every few years to visit and tell me stories of about New York and I became completely fascinated by it and the United States in general. Unfortunately he died many years before I finally got to go in 2010. I moved there the following year and have been living there since. This is always the vision I had of NYC but of course it changed a lot by the time I moved there. I always wonder what it must have been like for my uncle when he lived there and how different things were then. Watching this video makes me just picture myself in this era of the city. I know this is often a topic of debate for some but it seemed a lot cooler back then than it is now. I mean hell, even when I first arrived it was cooler than it is now.

Remember when smartphones didn’t exist and people interacted with each other? Those times are long gone now unfortunately

Funny to feel nostalgic for a place I’ve never been to.

Yes! And I'm not even An American! I guess with the way 2020 is going & a lot of other terrible things that have been happening all over the world for the past few years, we just long for the feeling of peace & intimacy that the 90's convey

That is because of movies... we see this and it remembers us from the 90'movies or shows, which sometimes we used to watch as kids and than it brings this kind of nostalgic moment that we may have been there. I think it's because of that, American culture was everywhere, and when we were kids that was where we wanted to be too. Captain flying away... (Wait, does this only work on 9gag?)

I've been to NY before, but I don't remember any of it. Went to NYC in June 1999 when I was only 9 months old, yet I still feel super nostalgic for it despite having no memory of it...!

@@danski6694 incredible cameras have been around for a long time, a much bigger bottleneck is display technology being far behind, thats why you can buy movies made in the 1960s and earlier rereleased in modern(HD, 4K, etc) definitons, and why NASA has photographs of space from decades ago that we can finally display in incredible quality today

@@zaina7400 There is a big difference between film cameras and video cameras. Movies have always (until recently) been shot on film cameras, which were and still are good, but video cameras from before the HD era are really bad when viewed in HD. This video wasn't shot on film, but with a video camera, that is why it is impressive considering how old it is.

Good old days! Back when America was the land of dreams and opportunities! Even tho I’m gen z and never experienced this I fell in love with the America of the 80s and 90s.

uh. the US has never been the land of dreams and opportunities for minorities, and only recently for women (somewhat). Basically, only for cishet white men. And only Irish and Italians recently.
