m u e H i t y tapes
The higher the quality of the tape, the better the quality of
both the original recording and edited versions will be. If
highquality tape, such as those of the Sony HG or PROX
type, is used, color loss will be reduced along with editing
marks in the edited tape.
Helpful assistants In \lldeo Enhancer and Color
Corrector
With just a little attention to proper setup and adjustment,
you'll be able to maximize the picture quality of your edited
tapes. But if you're not satisfied with the quality of the
picture, you may want to consider using a video enhancer
and color corrector to achieve higher quality, more
sophisticated recordings.
Plavback VCR
The video enhancer modulates the playback picture to
rectify the picture's loss in quality. When the signal is
being sent from one VCR to another, the most easily lost
part of the signal is the portion that contains the
information on picture details, especially in the high
frequency range.
When the Information on picture details is reduced, picture
contours are lost. The video enhancer, then, strengthens
the information in the highfrequency signal range to
enhance picture quality. Even plctures taken with a camera
that is out of focus can be made to appear sharper when
edited using a video enhancer.
As the pictures below show, shade (or colors) can be
added to the original using the color corrector to achieve
special effects.
Shade (or colors) added
with the color corrector to
create an instant sunset.
In addition, you can use the color corrector for other
purposes-for example, If you want to insert a scene
you've taken by camera into scenes of recorded TV
programs, you can balance the colors to create smooth,
natural transitions.
Sony video color corrector XV-W has a negative1
positive color switching function in addition to enhancer
and corrector functions to make video editing even more
convenient and enjoyable.

On the other hand, the color corrector allows independent
adjustment of color tint and density.
Colors which have become thinner after editing can be
restored to
near
thelr original density, and colors that were
incorrectly recorded by camera due to errors in setting the
white balance or filter attachment can be rectified using
the color corrector.
