Definição do conceito
[ENG] U-matic S | U-matic S (1974 – 1990s) | U-matic S (for ‘Small’) was a smaller size of U-matic video tape cassette, introduced in 1974 for use in compact recording decks by television news crews. | Early top-load U-matic decks accept the smaller cassettes only with the aid of an adapter. Later, front-load decks can accept S-format tapes directly, as the tapes have a slot on the underside that rides along a tab. U-matic S tapes generally had recording times of no more than 20 minutes, though 30-minute S tapes were also available using thinner tape. | U-matic SP (Superior Performance) was introduced in 1986, and U-matic S SP cassettes were also available in the improved version. | Dimensions: 18.5 cm × 12 cm × 3 cm | SOURCE : MUSEUM OF OBSOLETE MEDIA.

[ENG] U-matic Lo-Band | There are three U-matic variants: Low, High - Band and SP. | The original U-matic format is known as Lo-Band. The Hi-band system uses increased frequency carriers for improved picture quality and was the very first cassette based broadcast video format. SP, which stands for Superior Performance, is a further enhanced variation on the format which uses chrome tape for better video response and lower noise. This range is exemplified by units such as the BVU-950 | Today, with the exception of a few African broadcasters, the SP variant is all but dead. The Low and Hi Band versions live on though. Hi Band is still used in studios as a companion to Betacam and Lo Band is firmly established amongst advertisement agencies and corporate establishments as the industry standard presentation format because of its reliability when compared to domestic alternatives. | Low and Hi-band formats are not interchangeable. Whilst they use the same size tapes a Hi-band recording will play back in black & white on a Lo-band machine. The situation is further complicated by numerous modifications on the market which allow Lo-Band VTRs to work with Hi-Band tapes and visa-versa. | SOURCE : The U-matic Format in: U-matic PALsite Available atr : https://umatic.palsite.com/format.html Accessed : 25 nov. 2022
