ACM SIGCHI Videos

Videos are an integral part of several ACM conferences. They present a guided tour of the state-of-the-art in interactive systems, providing insights about the software impossible to convey in static displays (print/web pages).


About Video Formats: SIGCHI Videos were previously part of the SIGGRAPH Video Review (SVR) series, but are now being distributed by ACM. The older videos came in U-Matic (3/4") and VHS/NTSC (1/2") formats. The U-Matic format is mainly used for professional quality. The newer videos (starting in 1995) come only in VHS (1/2") format, using the NTSC (North American) and PAL (many European) broadcast standards. Most VCRs only record and play one format, although some play both (and may also play the SECAM French standard). Although many catalogs contrast VHS vs. PAL formats, the correct distinction should probably be between NTSC and PAL; all the newer tapes are VHS.
