TBS High: "My Name Is" Bumper (2000 W-VHS HDTV Japanese Eminem MUSE Hi-Vision Ch 9 TV Footage)

This is the TBS High "My Name Is" bumper as originally transmitted on TBS High in Japan via the analog MUSE satellite transmission system in 2000 and recorded to JVC Victor's analog W-VHS HDTV tape recording system. Early Japanese Hi-Vision (HDTV) transmissions used a single channel for all content. Thus these bumpers were important for not only informing the viewer of the physical channel they were tuned into, but it also noted what broadcaster was currently active. This particular bumper mixes artistic stylings with an unexpected tune, perhaps chosen as a reference to the "high" in "TBS High." W-VHS was the predecessor to the D-VHS system, the latter of which saw a true worldwide (but still relatively limited) release. Unlike the digital D-VHS system, the W-VHS tape system stores true analog component HD video on a tape with a similar form-factor as VHS/S-VHS tapes. Released in 1994, these players were the earliest and only way for consumers to record the Japanese 1035i HD MUSE satellite transmissions for a number of years. Enjoy this classic TBS bumper! ________________________________________________ This was played back using a JVC SR-W7U W-VHS deck. ________________________________________________ More of my vintage HDTV uploads can be found in this playlist:    • World's Oldest High-Definition Footage (Cl...   ________________________________________________ If you want to follow me for updates or want to help me afford to record Slim Shady standing up in HDTV, please click the link below: https://linktr.ee/OpWorkshop
