hi8

As S-VHS is to VHS, so Hi-8 is to Video 8 – it’s a higher quality variant of the format that achieves better picture quality by keeping the chrominance and luminance signals separate.

Improved version of 8mm videotape format characterized by higher luminance resolution for a sharper picture. Compact “conceptual equivalent” of Super-VHS. [See 8mm.]

The 8mm video format refers informally to three related videocassette formats for the NTSC and PAL/SECAM television systems. These are the original Video8 (analog) format and its improved successor Hi8 (both analog and digital), as well as a more recent digital format known as Digital8.
