Hadda oo adeegyada qulqulka ay noqdeen dariiqa caadiga ah ee isticmaalka madadaalada, waqti dheer ayaa tagay waa maalmihii warbaahinta jireed. Shalefyada aflaanta ka buuxaan waxaa lagu beddelay aalado^{(streaming devices)} cusub oo dhaldhalaalaya . 

Tani ma aha ifafaale cusub. Sida qalabkani u bedelay DVD^(DVDs) -yada iyo Blu-Ray-ga^(Blu-Rays) , sidoo kale DVD^(DVDs) -yadu waxay u beddeleen cajaladda VHS . Qaabka filimada guriga ayaa noqday mid duugoobay oo laga yaabo inaadan xitaa ogaan, ama xasuusan, waxa ereyga VHS uu yahay. Ama, sida cajaladaha VHS ay u noqdeen meesha ugu horeysa. 

Maxay u taagan tahay "VHS"?^{(What Does “VHS” Stand For?)}

VHS waxay u taagan tahay Nidaamka Guriga Fiidiyowga^{(Video Home System)} . Meesha ugu weyn ee lagu iibiyo cajaladda VHS waxay ahayd inay u ogolaatay daawadayaasha telefishinka inay ku duubaan bandhigyada cajalaadahan guriga. Qaabka waxaa lagu sii daayay gudaha Mareykanka shirkadda JVC sanadkii 1977, waxaana markii ugu horreysay lagu sii daayay Japan 1976kii. 

Waqtigaas, qaab kale oo fiidiyoow ah oo guriga ah oo la yiraahdo Betamax , oo ay abuurtay Sony , ayaa ku jirtay safka hore ee isticmaalka fiidiyoowga guriga. Laakiin VHS ayaa si cirfiid ah u kortay, 1980-kiina, qaabka VHS waxa uu gacanta ku hayay 60% suuqa fiidyaha guriga ee Waqooyiga Ameerika^{(North America)} . 

Qodobbada dooda u dhexeeya Betamax iyo VHS ee ka caawiyay tan dambe inay caan ka hesho waxay ahayd wakhtiga duubista, iyo sidoo kale qiimaha hoose ee VCR^(VCRs) -yada ku salaysan VHS (duubayaasha cajaladaha-cajalada ah). Tani waxay u ogolaatay macaamiisha inay duubaan filimaan dhererkoodu dhan yahay iyo qaybo badan oo TV ah oo hal cajalad ah, muuqaal aad u soo jiidasho leh oo ka badan Betamax , kaas oo kaliya duubi kara ilaa hal saac wakhtigaas. 

Sidee buu u shaqeeyaa cajalad VHS ah? ^{(How Does a VHS Tape Work? )}

Marka JVC ay shati siiso qaabka VHS shirkado kale oo badan, qaar badan oo iyaga ka mid ah waxay bilaabeen inay sameeyaan ciyaartoyda VHS . Tani waa sababta aad u heli karto noocyo badan oo kala duwan oo VCRs ah . Qaar badan oo iyaga ka mid ah waxay leeyihiin sifooyin kala duwan, iyadoo ku xiran astaanta iyo markii la sii daayay, laakiin dhammaantood waxay u shaqeeyeen si isku mid ah. Haddaba maxay ahayd tignoolajiyada ka dambaysay cajaladda VHS iyo VCR ee si lama huraan ah u horseeday inay suuqa ku yeelato?  

Fiidiyowga marka hore waxaa lagu duubi doonaa 800-fiit oo dheer, oo nus-inch ah cajalad birlab ah oo ballac ah, oo ku wareegsan labada xabbo ee gudaha kiiska. Cajalka dhexdiisa waxa ku jira rolal-rogayaal kuwaas oo cajalada fiidyowga u wareejinaya cidhifka, kaas oo ay ku daboolan yihiin albaab gugu ku raran yahay si aanu u baabi'in maarayn joogto ah. 

Marka la geliyo gudaha VCR , mashiinku wuxuu furayaa albaabkan si uu u isticmaalo cajaladda. Waxay isticmaashaa hannaan matoor ah si ay cajaladda ugu wareejiso madaxa dib-u-ciyaarista, iyada oo adeegsanaysa iskaanka helical si ay u akhrido waxa ku jira cajaladda oo ay calaamadaha ugu soo dirto TV-ga. TV-gu wuxuu markaa soo bandhigayaa macluumaadkan sida muuqaal iyo maqal. 

VHS iyo VCR waxay ku raaxaysanayeen joogitaan dheer oo ay ku jireen meesha ugu sareysa ee doorbidida macaamiisha. Qaabku wuxuu socday in ka badan 20 sano, ilaa uu bilaabay in la joojiyo 1997 sababtoo ah kor u kaca qaabka DVD-ga^(DVD) . 

Hoos u dhaca Cajaladda VHS^{(The Decline of the VHS Tape)}

Bishii Juun 2003^{(June 2003)} , tirada kirooyinka DVD ee Mareykanka ayaa ka adkaaday kirooyinka VHS markii ugu horeysay, 900,000. Ilaa wakhtigaas, hoos u dhaca caanka ah ee qaabka VHS ayaa ahaa mid joogto ah. 

Wax yar ka dib, dukaamo tafaariiqeed oo badan ayaa joojiyay iibinta VCR-yada^(VCRs) . Waxay ahayd arrin wakhti ah ka hor inta aanad heli karin ciyaartoy DVD ah iyo filimada ^(DVD)DVD oo lagu kaydiyay khaanadaha dukaamada. Tan waxaa ku jiray dukaamada kirada fiidyaha guriga, sida Blockbuster , oo hadda ah wax la soo dhaafay. 

Dagaalka DVD-VHS waxa uu dhaliyay qaar ka mid ah ciyaartoyga fiidyaha ee la isku daray kuwaas oo taageeri kara labada qaab. In kasta oo VHS ay lumisay dakhli bartamihii 2000-meeyadii, in ka badan 94 milyan oo Maraykan ah^(Americans) ayaa weli lahaan jiray nooc ka mid ah ciyaartoyga VHS . Si tartiib^(Slowly) ah , si kastaba ha ahaatee, DVD noqday qaabka la door biday, iyo sidoo kale ay xafiiltamaan, Blu-Ray ah^(Blu-Ray) . 

Dabadeed, markii adeegyada la daawado ay markii dambe ka dhigeen daawashada filimada iyo bandhigyada TV-ga xitaa mid sahlan oo la awoodi karo, VHS ayaa xitaa laga sii riixay sawirka. Isla sidaas oo kale ayaa ku dhacday DVD^(DVDs) -yada , iyo dukaamada kirada fiidiyooga ayaa bilaabay inay kiciyaan. Warbaahinta jirka lama door bidin. 

Farqiga u dhexeeya VHS iyo Qaababka Casriga ah^{(Differences Between VHS and Modern Formats)}

Xataa weli ma mudan tahay in la haysto cajaladaha VHS ? Waxay kuxirantahay waxaad ka raadinayso khibradaada madadaalada. 

Farqiga ugu cad cad ee u dhexeeya VHS iyo qaababka dhijitaalka ah^{(VHS and digital formats)} waa tayada. Waxaad si fudud ugu heli kartaa tayada fiidiyooga ee DVD^(DVDs) -yada , Blu-rays , iyo aaladaha daawashada inta aanad waligaa ka tuujin karin VHS . In kastoo^(Though) , qaar ka mid ah, sawirka qaylada iyo badarka leh ee uu soo saaray qaabku waxa uu leeyahay wax soo jiidasho leh. 

Xaqiiqdi waxaad ku doodi kartaa raqiisnimada VHS waayadan. Maadaama ay noqotay mid duugowday, dadku waxay ka takhalusayaan VCR-yadooda waxba, waxaadna ka heli kartaa cajaladaha VHS ee pennies ama gebi ahaanba bilaash ah. 

Xamaasada fiidyaha, cajaladaha VHS ayaa ah ku dhawaad ​​dahab bilaash ah oo laga qodo filimada, bandhigyada, iyo barnaamijyada, gaar ahaan kuwa dahsoon ee aan waligood u gudbin qaab dhijitaal ah. Oo, si ka duwan adeegyada streaming-ka ee wareegyada cinwaanadooda dhowrkii toddobaadba mar, waxaad had iyo jeer lahaan doontaa kuwa aad ugu jeceshahay mar kasta oo aad iyaga rabto. 

VHS iyo Beyond^{(The VHS and Beyond)}

Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad illowday dhammaan wixii ku saabsan VHS , iyo safarradii sabtida iyo axadda ee dukaanka fiidyaha ee ay u soo qulqulayeen dadka da' kasta ah. Waqtigaas, waa inaad doorataa hal ama laba filim si aad u kireysato ama u iibsato sababtoo ah taasi waxay ahayd ikhtiyaarka ugu jaban.

Maalmahan, waxa nalagu kharribay doorashada, iyadoo boqollaal cinwaan laga heli karo caaradayada kharash yar oo bishii ah. Hadda oo celceliska Maraykanku leeyahay rukunsasho ugu yaraan saddex adeegyo qulqulka kala duwan, iyo durdurrada siddeed saacadood oo nuxur ah maalin kasta, waxaa jira qalab aad u badan oo laga dooran karo kuwaas oo bixiya boqolaal goobood oo qulqulka ah^{(streaming platforms)} . Mararka qaarkood, waxay dareemi kartaa culeys.

Markaa marka xigta aad si aan miro-dhal lahayn ugu dhex wareegayso Netflix ama Hulu oo isku dayaysa inaad hesho wax aad daawato, waxa laga yaabaa inay ku caawiso inaad xasuusato bilawga hoose ee fiidyaha guriga sida aynu u naqaano. 

What Does VHS Stand For?

Now that strеaming services have become the standard route of entertainment consumptiоn, long gone are the days of phyѕical media. Shelves full of movies have all been replaced bу shіny new streaming devices. 

This is not a new phenomena. Just as these devices have replaced DVDs and Blu-Rays, so too did DVDs replace the VHS tape. This home movie format has become so obsolete that you may not even know, or remember, what the term VHS means. Or, how VHS tapes came to be in the first place. 

What Does “VHS” Stand For?

VHS stands for Video Home System. The main selling point of the VHS tape was that it allowed television viewers to record shows onto these tapes at home. The format was released in the U.S. by the company JVC in 1977, and first released in Japan in 1976. 

At the time, another home video format called Betamax, created by Sony, was at the forefront of most home video consumption. But VHS grew astronomically, and by 1980, the VHS format had control over 60% of the home video market in North America. 

The contention points between Betamax and VHS that helped the latter gain popularity was recording time, as well as the lower cost of VHS-based VCRs (video-cassette recorders). This allowed consumers to record full-length movies and more TV episodes on one tape, a very alluring feature over the Betamax, which could only record up to an hour at the time. 

How Does a VHS Tape Work? 

Once JVC licensed the VHS format to multiple other companies, many of them began to make VHS players. This is why you can find so many different models of VCRs. A lot of them have differing features, depending on the brand and when they were released, but they all generally worked the same way. So what was the technology behind the VHS tape and VCR that inevitably led to its dominance in the market?  

The video would first be recorded on the 800-foot long, half-inch wide magnetic tape, wound around the two spools inside the case. Inside the cassette are some rollers that move the video tape around to the edge, which is covered by a spring-loaded door so it doesn’t get ruined by regular handling. 

When placed inside a VCR, the machine opens this door to use the tape. It uses a motorized mechanism to move the tape over the playback head, using helical scanning to read what’s on the tape and send signals to the TV. The TV then displays this information as video and audio. 

The VHS and VCR enjoyed a lengthy stay at the top of consumer preference. The format lasted for over 20 years, until it began to get phased out in 1997 due to the rise of the DVD format. 

The Decline of the VHS Tape

In June 2003, the number of DVD rentals in the U.S. overcame VHS rentals for the first time, by 900,000. Since that time, the decline in popularity of the VHS format was steady. 

Shortly after this, many retail stores stopped selling VCRs. It was only a matter of time before you could only find DVD players and DVD movies stocked on store shelves. This included home video rental stores, such as Blockbuster, now a relic of the past. 

The DVD-VHS battle gave rise to some combination video players which could support both formats. Despite VHS losing revenue in the mid-2000’s, over 94 million Americans still owned some sort of VHS player. Slowly, however, DVD became the preferred format, as well as its rival, the Blu-Ray. 

Then, when streaming services later made watching movies and TV shows even easier and more affordable, VHS was even further pushed out of the picture. The same happened with DVDs, and video rental stores began to run bankrupt. Physical media was no longer preferred. 

Differences Between VHS and Modern Formats

Is it even still worth it to own VHS tapes? It depends on what you’re looking for in your entertainment experience. 

The most obvious difference between VHS and digital formats is quality. You can easily get better video quality in DVDs, Blu-Rays, and streaming devices than you could ever squeeze out of a VHS. Though, for some, the noisy and grainy picture produced by the format has some nostalgic charm. 

You could certainly argue for the cheapness of VHS nowadays. Since it has become so obsolete, people are getting rid of their VCRs for next to nothing, and you can find VHS tapes for pennies or completely free. 

For the video enthusiast, VHS tapes are an almost free gold mine of movies, shows, and programs, especially those obscure ones that never made it over to a digital format. And, unlike streaming services that cycle through their titles every few weeks, you’ll always have your favorites around whenever you want them. 

The VHS and Beyond

You might have forgotten all about the VHS, and weekend trips to the video store that was flocked to by people of every age. At that time, you had to pick one or two movies to rent or buy because that was the most affordable option.

These days, we’re spoiled for choice, with hundreds of titles available at our fingertips for small monthly fees. Now that the average American has a subscription to at least three different streaming services, and streams about eight hours of content daily, there are tons of devices to choose from that offer hundreds of streaming platforms. At times, it can feel overwhelming.

So the next time you’re fruitlessly scrolling through Netflix or Hulu trying to find something to watch, it may be helpful to remember the humble beginnings of home video as we know it.
