NEW YORK—JVC, the inventor of VHS, has
announced the introduction of two new D-VHS digital video recorders, including
one model with an integrated digital HDTV receiver. The
new decks, the HM-DT100 and HM-DH5, record, play back and archive
high-definition content, and play D-Theater™ HD movies. The new video decks are
the first D-VHS hi-def digital recorders equipped with the digital
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), which provides the highest quality,
uncompressed digital pictures and sound through a single connection. Since HDMI is all-digital, there is
virtually no signal deterioration, resulting in pristine, “lossless” images just
like the original.
