Ye olde analogue High Definition video from 1987
 

Freshly uploaded to YouTube, this is from the master tape for the industry demo of the Japanese Hi-Vision television format from way back in 1987 - 18 years before HDV video cameras came on to the market (which for most of us would be the earliest HD format access). This is the industry demo for the format.

On a side note, I remember seeing a HDTV demonstration at World Expo '88. I can't remember which pavilion it was in except that it was one of the corporate ones. It would have been on a CRT screen back then of course, and my main reaction to it was "wow, it looks like a movie". No idea if they were playing back from this particular early format or not.

Enjoy.

A blast from the past. I saw that at NAB in 1988.
