During the end of 1980s, Sony surprised the world and launched Hi- Band Video8 recording format, aka Hi8. This was launched as an answer to the VHS format that was earlier launched by JVC and was controlling the market. Hi8 was a huge improvement over VHS and Video 8 formats that were generally used those days. Now let us talk about Hi8 tapes.

They were small caseates that can easily record the videos as well as analogue audios from camcorders. This lead to the high popularity of VCRs, that were used to play these tapes during the later 1980s and the decade of 1990s. These tapes reigned the music and video industry for more than a decade and this format has higher resolution lines, 415 to be specific as compared to 255 lines of earlier format. These tapes were capable to hold the recording of approximately two hours. Hi8 tapes were quite famous among videographers due to high video quality.
