One way to output to VHS is to simply output to whatever tape format corresponds to
your sequence and then make a dub from that tape to a VHS tape. The other option is
to output your digital signal to an interface that supports composite video output, such
as the AJA Io. In this scenario, the digital signal is output from the computer to the video
interface, which then converts the signal to composite analog video. The composite
analog signal can then be recorded on a VHS tape. An alternative to this method is to
use a video deck instead of a video interface to convert the digital signal from your
computer to composite analog video. For example, some DV and professional decks have
the ability to convert an incoming signal from your computer to composite analog video.
This mode is referred to as electronics-to-electronics (or E-to-E) mode, or passthrough mode.
Note: Other decks can only output to multiple video formats when a tape is playing back,
which means you have to record the signal to tape first, and then dub to VHS.
