Extra video head, found on many high-end VCR's and all JVC camcorders, that erases the video signal during editing; it's designed to produce seamless edits and smooth, invisible transitions from one scene to the next.
A recommended feature for editing tapes on your VCR. The flying erase head is mounted on the head drum at the same angle as the video record heads. It erases a portion of the tape a fraction of a second before a new image is recorded. Scene transitions and recording stops and starts are almost undetectable, with no glitches or "rainbow" effects.
Before you can re-record on a tape, the old recording has to be erased. A flying erase head is positioned on the rotating head drum of the camcorder or VCR, and can erase the section of tape needed precisely, so there is no picture disturbance before or after the new recording. Fixed heads are not as effective and cause such picture distortion at each end of the new recording.
Rotating erase head which is positioned on the video head disc and erases the tape according to the picture while recording. The Flying Erase Head is standard in Video 8 and Video Hi8 systems. High quality VHS recorders also make use of the Flying Erase Head. As a result, recorders provided with this feature are ideally suited for video insert editing.
Feature on Hi8 and 8mm camcorders that removes video noise between sections of recorded video on a tape for almost seamless transitions.
Rotating erase head which is positioned on the video head disc, making the device ideally suited for editing video tapes with clean transitions. The Flying Erase Head is standard in Video S and Video Hi8 systems and high quality VHS recorders also make use of a Flying Erase Head.
Facilitates smooth, seamless edits whenever the camcorder begins recording, the Flying Erase Heads eliminate rainbow noise and glitches for a smooth transition.
an added recording head that features on some camcorders. It provides for smooth transitions between scenes where the tape has been stopped and started. They are not necessary on DVs.
Allows a clean, noiseless transition from one scene to the next. Gives a professional appearance to your recordings, especially when editing from a camcorder.
Eliminates noticeable distortion at the transition points between recordings. This enables camcorder users to edit videos with professional looking results. Also gives more clear copying from tape to tape.
An erase head built into a rotating VCR head drum. Most decks have the erase head mounted in a fixed position, limiting editing flexibility. The flying head makes it possible to do clean edits.
Facilitates smooth, seamless edits whenever the camcorder recording begins. Without a flying erase head, a video "glitch" may occur at scene transitions. The erase head is mounted on the spinning (flying) video head drum.
Accessory video head mounted on spinning drum, incorporated in all 8mm and Hi8 camcorders and VCRs and in newer VHS, VHS-C, S-VHS, and S-VHS-C camcorders and VCRs to eliminate glitches and rainbow noise between scenes recorded or edited. [See head.
Erase heads that are not fixed, but rather rotate (fly) on the same drum as the video heads. This places the erase heads and video heads in close proximity to one another. This increased proximity allows for glitch free edits on cameras or VCRs. Flying erase heads provide a clean transition from pause to record creating instantaneous cut.
Flying erase heads are found on Hi8 or 8mm camcorder models. They eliminate what they call “rainbow noise”, which occurs every time you stop and start recording, thereby producing a smoother transition.
Allows you to start and stop the tape without having glitches show up on playback.
Whenever you stop and start the tape during recording, the flying erase head eliminates "rainbow noise" glitches for smooth transitions. Flying erase heads are commonly found on 8mm and Hi8 models — they're not needed on digital models.
