New York City in 1993 in HD - DTheater DVHS Demo Tape
Captured from a D-Theater HD DVHS Demo Tape - more here:
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.
