Applies to magnetic video recording on 12,65 mm (0,5 in) wide tape using the wide band VHS recording system. Defines the basic S-VHS video cassette and the compact S-VHS video cassette as well as the necessary parameters and characteristics for the recording. Coverage includes magnetic tape properties, RF playback output, tape speed, recording level, modulation characteristics, clipping levels, and pilot burst signal. Also gives detailed diagrams and annexes.
