ArVid (Archiver on Video) ({{lang-ru|АрВид, Архиватор на Видео}}) is a data backup solution using a VHS tape as a storage medium. It was very popular in Russia and former USSR in mid-1990s.

It was produced in Zelenograd, Russia by PO KSI.[1]

Features

  • Using low-cost VHS tapes and recording units for data backup.
  • High reliability
  • Hamming code error correction
  • Easy data copying between two VHS units (eliminating need of a computer for data copying)

Disadvantages

  • Inefficient tape capacity usage (only 2 grades of luminance signal spectrum were used)
  • Poor software support

Operation

A VHS recorder unit should be connected to an ArVid ISA board via a composite video cable. Unit operation is controlled by a remote control emulator using an LED.

Device may operate in two modes: low data rate at 200 kbyte/s and high data rate at 325 kbyte/s (equivalent to roughly 1.33x and 2.17x CDR recording speed). The original, lower recording speed was retained as a user option because not all VHS recorders of the time offered sufficient recording quality to reliably support this higher speed.

An E-180 video tape is able to hold 2 GB of uncompressed data at the lower rate, more than sufficient for most PC hard drives of the time. This can be shown by calculating 200 KB x 60 x 60 x 3 = 2.06 GB (2.06 x 2^30 bytes), which also leaves a few minutes spare for header and synchronisation space.

Note that it is unclear here whether "200 kbyte" means 200,000 (200 x 10^3) or 204,800 (200 x 2^10); the above calculation assumes the latter, but the former still produces a capacity of 2.01 GB (2.01 x 2^30 bytes), providing 2.00 GB of capacity in a little under 2 hours and 59 minutes. Similarly, this means an E240 4-hour tape, using the higher data rate, would be capable of storing between 4.35 and 4.46 GB (2^30 bytes), approximately equivalent to a standard single-layer DVDR.

Models

  • ArVid 1010 was first of ArVid devices. Its production started in 1992.
  • ArVid 1020 was a successor to ArVid 1010 using more advanced integrated circuitry.
  • ArVid 1030/1031 had better internal design, less power consumption, was less in size and was made using CPLD. It allowed automatic switching to a TV set when device was not in use.
  • ArVid 1051/1052 introduced 325 kbyte/s data rate and 128/512 kbyte buffer cache (respectively).
