JVC Victor’s Sea of Love (1992 Analog HDTV 1080i HDVS Video Tropical BGV Demonstration Disc)
This is “Sea of Love“ (HDP-2155) from a Sony-made high-definition 12“ HDVS videodisc. The HDVS disc format was designed to be a highly portable 12“ laserdisc-derived media format for Sony’s “High-Definition Video System“ or “Hi-Vision“ back in the early 1990’s! Back then, high definition was a little different from how it is now. It was analog (not digital) & close to but slightly different in resolution to the 1080i picture we receive over the air today as it was technically 1125i/1035i. Before the earliest high-definition media was available to the public (via satellite, MUSE Laserdisc, & W-VHS tapes), Sony and other companies began shooting footage, doing research, and, showing public displays of high-definition television. There were three main ways of storing HDTV (or HDVS) at that time: Reel-to-reel tape (HDV-1000), cartridge tape (HDV-10 “UniHi“), & 12“ Laserdisc-style discs (HDL-5800 / HDL-2000). This footage came from one of the Laserdisc-style discs.
These HDVS discs could only hold a maximum of 15 minutes of video (on CLV discs, even less on CAV discs)...but it held uncompressed, raw high-definition component video! Take that, Blu-Ray!
“Sea of Love“ is a HDTV demonstration disc produced by JVC Victor. It features some very beautiful images of what appears to be Hawaii along with a not-so-Hawaiian model exploring the island. This was definitely a great demonstration of how clear high-definition could be under the right (bright) conditions! It is unknown what this disc was used for. (Did you see this video in person or read about it somewhere? Please comment below!)
Prepare to sit back and enjoy the island adventure!
Fun fact: It appears that the W-VHS demonstration tape “Color Of Winds“ features some b-roll from this production.

This was recorded off on a Sony HDL-2000 Videodisc player which outputs analog component (1035i) video. Uploaded in the upscaled 4K ProRes for extra clarity!
