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.

@@rytism7156 No don't bother. It's low quality fad upscaling by losers who need something to do with the garbage software they paid $400 dollars for. 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_
@FIDEL_CASHFLOW_ Год назад
@@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.

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". Was just a kid then, but even I realized shit was getting real...

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.

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.

it wont, size is the thing that matters here, cinemas will only achieve perfect quality with 64 k most likely, it's such a big screen that the resolution is too small for the screen, IMAX theatres even worse, for regular tv's and smartphones it will stop at 4k, but cinemas and the such will most likely require 64 k resolution to match our eyes level of detail, perhaps even 128K recordings will be necessary, nonetheless evolution is still going to happen, it's inevitable, new technologies allow it, and as they get cheaper, people will want 16K computer screens, even if they dont see any difference from 4K or 8K, they want it just because they think they are getting more from their buck. Buying a 4k 13'' screen is retarded and people still buy it becuase they can

>that level of quality from 25 years ago We've had that level of quality for longer than that. Movies shot on film are higher than HD resolution.

Also, 35mm movie cameras were rarely used to shoot random street scenes due to their cost, so footage like this is uncommon.
@NUCLEARARMAMENT
@NUCLEARARMAMENT 6 лет назад
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).

It's incredible! This is definitely a phenomenal and unique video, especially since it was filmed 30 years ago. But what’s even more interesting is how the destinies of these people turned out, for example, a man in a business suit and glasses against the backdrop of the Twin Towers, a sweet beauty walking towards a guy with a ponytail, a girl adjusting her earring, a couple smiling at each other. 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 RU-vid, a very cool guy. I wish him all the best😊

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.

@imacg5658
@imacg5658 7 месяцев назад
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

It's interesting that when you think about old times, a blurred image immediately comes to mind, without much color and without definition (which were common TV and VHS images at that time). It's even weird to see images in high definition from almost 30 years ago, it seems like it's a modern-day movie representing the 90's.
@ipKonfig
@ipKonfig 3 года назад
mate, 30 years ago there was color and high quality video during that time, plenty of it. It just wasn't readily available, technology wise, like it is now. To have this type of quality Camcorder back in this time would cost you an arm and a leg. Not everyone had access to it - and not every had a TV to show that quality. Go back 70 years - that's what you're talking about.

+rubrduk This is from a D-VHS tape. It was JVC's attempt to combat DVD, but didn't catch on. The quality was astounding for its time though, so it's been used in broadcasting for a while. Also, if film cameras are handled and set up properly, they can essentially record in 4K resolution and above. The Wizard of Oz was successfully converted to 8K a few years ago.

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.
