Reely Interesting | Analog HDTV: President Ronald Reagan At NAB 1988 [Segment] (Sony HDVS Demonstration) @ReelyInteresting | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
This is a segment of the late US President (and actor) Ronald Reagan speaking at NAB '88 on April 10th, 1988, produced by 1125 Productions. It was found on a Sony-made high-definition 12" HDVS videodisc labeled, "South Western Bell Smart Home" (HDP-1538).
This is a very short, true HD segment of Ronald Reagan's "Remarks at the Annual Convention of the National Association of Broadcasters in Las Vegas, Nevada" where he remarks that he is being recorded on HDTV. Pres. Reagan's speech was much longer than this but unfortunately no additional segments were recorded on this disc.
NOTE: This has been uploaded with the kind permission of David Niles, who owned 1125 Productions. He has noted that this clip is from a test pressing for the HDVS disc format and is not representative of true image quality of the original footage.
Fun fact: As Pres. Reagan's speech may strongly imply, this was the first time a US president was recorded on HDTV. It wasn't until four more generations of US presidents (Pres. Obama) that the White House began regularly recording in HD.

![Analog HDTV: Space Shuttle Discovery STS-29 Preparation & Launch [Segments]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tUKWbX1XW30/hqdefault.jpg "Analog HDTV: Space Shuttle Discovery STS-29 Preparation & Launch [Segments]
This is a collection of segments of the Space Shuttle Discovery STS-29 launch, shot in true HDTV in 1989 by 1125 Productions. They were found on a Sony-made high-definition 12 HDVS videodisc labeled, South Western Bell Smart Home (HDP-1538).
This short 48 second video clip feature a short bit regarding the preparation of NASAs Space Shuttle Discovery with a news segment-like voiceover accompaniment. This is then followed by the actual launch footage...all in true high-definition! The existence of this footage was noted in a number of white papers and press releases by NASA. White papers claim that it was used to help analyze the launches & the performance of the HDTV system as a whole (lenses, signal processing, fiber optic transmission, and more) & eventually presented to US Congress as an example of an HDTV application with the eventual use on the Space Station Freedom (better known now as the International Space Station).
NOTE: This has been uploaded with the kind permission of David Niles, who owned 1125 Productions. He has noted that this clip is from a test pressing for the HDVS disc format and is not representative of true image quality of the original footage.
Fun fact: HDTV and Space Shuttle Discovery launches have a long & storied history together! On October 29th, 1998, the launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery STS-95 was broadcast as the very first (official) ATSC digital HDTV transmission.
