MITSUBISHI HV-V5000 (1989)

 

As a response to increased demand for High-quality image, high-quality sound, and multi-digital picture processing for big screen TVs Mitsubishi introduced the top-of-the-range HV-V5000 in 1989. This offers a S-VHS format with horizontal resolution of over 400 lines with DYNAMIC COMB FILTER to suppresses color bleeding and dot interference, achieving beautiful images. With a unique digital tracking it brings out the best image and sound quality from tape. The V5000 is also equipped with DRI and ADI circuits for further refinement of the ultra-high density Hi-Fi audio recording method. There is also a power cord with polarity indicator. Mitsubishi's unique Digital Fine technology automates tracking adjustment during play still and slow motion. It also significantly reduces frame skipping when switching back to normal playback. Multi-digital (49-64-81/100 screens). Enjoy digital video play in 8 levels (9, 16, 25, 36). ● Multi-channel ● Multi-strobe ● Multi-still ● Multi-time search: Plays back every 5 minutes (or 10 minutes) of footage from the recorded tape for a few seconds, and displays the last scene of each as a still image along with the time. ● Multi-address search: Plays back the first few seconds of the VASS signal for a few seconds, and displays the last scene of each as a still image along with the address number. If you record an insert at the beginning of the tape, it will serve as a table of contents, which is very convenient. Jog/Shuttle for easy and precise editing. An editing window that displays the footage from the editing and recording tape (when paused) and the footage from the broadcast program or dubbing material on a parent-child screen. Multi-editing is convenient for setting the start point of multi-insert recording. By projecting the image on the screen with the multi-strobe, you can easily search for the desired cut scene with the jog dial while viewing the previous and next scenes. Connect to the optional editing controller (EC-1000 type) terminal to enjoy full-scale editing.  Regardless of the position you start playback from, the cumulative time (hours, minutes, seconds) from the beginning of the tape is displayed on the screen, allowing you to accurately check the remaining tape time. You can also enjoy time counter search (time counter search) (3x mode: approx. 140x speed, standard mode: approx. 46x speed). Also the FE (Flying Erase) head is a unique editing mechanism based on the concept of high image quality. It accurately traces and erases each frame of previously recorded footage, then records new footage. There is virtually no color noise or color bleeding at the joins between frames, as with conventional methods, allowing for smooth, beautiful, and highly accurate splicing.
