What is the VHS-C adapter to VHS?
The
homemade video cassettes (VHS) were a popular format for commercial movies and home videos and the compact versions were first introduced in 1982. These much smaller cassettes were known as the compact home system system (VHS-C) and used the same magnetic record material as conventional VHS tapes despite a fraction of the size. Due to this design it is possible to display the VHS-C tape with a conventional video tape (VCR). To achieve this, the VHS-C adapter is usually used. These adapters often have the appearance of conventional VHS tapes, but include a slot in which VHS-C can be placed. As a result, they were well suitable for the video camera market. At a time when VHS-C was introduced, betamax cameras should benefit from a smaller shape factor than their VHS counterparts, while the main advantage offered by VHS Camordersk its recording. The VHS-C format has allowed much smaller camcorders and has retained the possibility of playing larger VHS units.
The two main ways of browsing the video recorded on the VHS-C tape were used by the video camera itself or using the VHS-C adapter to VHS. Many VHS-C Caparks could play a video using a viewfinder or connected screen with a liquid crystal (LCD), except for video and audio cable menu. The VHS-C adapter to VHS allowed the VHS-C tape to play via a video recorder without connecting the video camera. The VHC-C tape could be placed in the adapter, allowing playback to any VCS compatible VCR.
VHS-C to VHS adapters were made possible by two formats using the same type of magnetic storage material. Each VHS-C cartridge has two coils, one of which is the gearbox and the other is identical to the conventional VHS coil. When it is placed in the adapter, the tape is discarded so that it is readable by VCR regular size. It continues to unfold from one coil inside the VHS-C cartridge and then stretches the other, just as it was inside the VHS-C video camera.
The two main types of VHS-C adapter K VHS are purely mechanical and batteries. The pure mechanical variety pulls the tape from the VHS-C cassette by mechanical movement of the cartridge in the adapter. The battery -powered variants use a small engine to perform the same function. Once the tape is included in the adapter, both versions work in the same way.
