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

Video Overview & Insights

Captured from a D-Theater HD DVHS Demo Tape - more here: https://youtu.be/jiu0LPeLQPE

Is nobody gonna mention the guy with the Nazi shirt?

— @supermegashowofficial

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 from Pilot Wings 64 ?

HEY DO YOU WANT TO LICENCE (LICENSE) THIS VIDEO?

1:42 WTF

— @lkonste

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.

I could see how they put a hole in the ozone, their hairstyles are crazy bruh

HD from 1993 is unreal. I mean 35 mm film was used in the 90s and still look good when shot right, preserved and scanned well, but they were typically shooting at 24 FPS rather than 60fps. Most 60 FPS cameras only had 480~ fields which isn’t HD compared to 1000+ fields of HD

And to think now it's run by a Marxist Muslim. After 9/11, seriously? Seriously? I know real New Yorkers didn't vote for that piece of shit. I bet it's all the California transplants, same thing fucking up the rest of America.

4:19 ニューヨークの映像でありながら、この30年での日本経済と円の凋落を感じます。その頃旅行してここに宣伝の看板がでている「ガイズ・アンド・ドールズ」をマチネーで見た記憶があります。当日予約もなしで席が取れて、値段もかなり安かったような。
今じゃ日本からのニューヨーク旅行も無茶苦茶高くなっちゃって手軽には行けなくなりましたね。

Henry Miller was right, New York is "a loaded gun pointed to the head of America." The trash and carbon smog isn't the only polluted cells that make the cancer.
