S-VHS frame grab resolution

S-VHS frame grab resolution

S-VHS frame grab resolution

(OP)
Hello! I am interested in finding out what is the maximum resolution you can get out of a frame grab, i.e. a still picture produced from a Super VHS tape.

All the grab cards I have seen so far have a resolution in the order 720 x 576 (for PAL).

As I belive the data stored on the S-VHS are analog, is it possible to "get more resolution out" from the tape by use of some image processing method??

RE: S-VHS frame grab resolution

re your question on frame grab resolution yes much higher is possible, determined by video format used, 1/60s (60Hz) 640x480, 1/50s (50Hz) for 768x576, for 30 fps for 1024 x 1024 and up to 360 fps or more with partial scan mode. note: maximum allowed line frequency is 3.35 KHz).

If you check around (go to Agile) you will find some awesome solutions that can indeed process up the digitizerd signal.
