 As instant playback is one of the main advantages of video cameras over cine-cameras, lack of a playback function presented a considerable limitation.In 1984, JVC presented its own version of a camcorder, the GR-C1, for the VHS format.Although it too had a miniature head drum, the JVC engineers developed a different solution to drum miniaturization, which made it possible to record a standard video signal on the tape, so the user of a VHS camcorder could review footage on location and copy it to another VCR for editing.
