One of the last 1/4 inch reel-to-reel offered by Lafayette Radio recorded B/W video got you about fifteen minutes but who had a need?The first Sony BetaMax with an internal TV tuner changed everything. www.earlytelevision.org/ Technicolor had this system we called the 'fishbowl'....motion picture film cassettes spot scanned into video. Then there was RCA 'Selectevision'....basically a 33rpm record with seven times the tracks...heavy skipper. NAB cassettes were pre-BetaMax but nobody was interested when you could get TV for free off-the-air. Why would anyone want a XEROX machine when you had carbon paper? |
