Worldwide VC Background Multi-System VC vs Worldwide VC Worldwide Communication through VC Today, the Video ecorder is a major media and communication tool, used for both business and home entertainment. Furthermore, the emergence of the camcorder has extended the versatility of video, enabling home video making. The Worldwide VC is similar to the Multi-System VC in that it will play back tapes recorded in any TV Broadcasting System. However, there are a few key differences: Multi-System VC Video communication is increasingly becoming a global medium, but different TV broadcasting systems around the world hinder the worldwide exchange of video tapes. The Samsung SV-7W overcomes the incompatibility of different TV broadcasting systems through sophisticated digital technology, allowing any standard VHS tape to be played on any TV, anywhere in the world (with free voltage). Worldwide TV Color System Many countries have different TV signal formats, with no exchangeability between them. This makes it impossible to play back or record tapes with different signal formats. This worldwide common VC overcomes this problem by converting the signal format of any tape into the format you desire. Comparison of TV color systems Number of scanning lines.3 -M -N ME 5225 With a Multi-System VC: The TV must correspond to the system of the tape being played, otherwise, a Multi-System TV is also required; Tape duplication with system conversion (eg to ) is not possible.
