What is svhs tapes?

SVHS tapes (Super VHS) are a type of analog video cassette tape format. They were introduced in 1987 as an improvement over the standard VHS format, and they were used primarily for professional and high-end consumer applications.

SVHS tapes have a higher resolution and better color reproduction than standard VHS tapes, with a maximum resolution of 450 lines of resolution. They also have a wider bandwidth and more advanced tracking systems, resulting in a clearer and more stable image.

SVHS tapes come in various sizes, with the most common being the standard 1/2 inch cassette format. They can hold up to 4 hours of video on one cassette.

However, with the advent of digital video and the decline of physical media, SVHS tapes are no longer widely used. They are now mostly seen as a relic of the past and have been replaced by digital video formats, such as CD, DVD, and Blu-ray.
