betamax or betacam .. Beeta max has been "dead" since the mid to early 80
s and was a consumer product (1/2 inch video tape) ..
Betacam came out in mid to late 80's as the New format, slowly replacing 1/4" u matic tape ... quickly floowed by Betacam SP a non Oxicide tape composition. Set as the New Broadcast Standard .. and is only today starting to get replaced by DVcam and HDcam.
Though many Production companies, satelite companies and Broadcast station (news) still use Betacam SP to this day. Most have moved over to DVCPRo (panasonic), DVCAM (sony) or XDCAM (sony) for broadcast television news type agencies ...
