Fellow radiophiles:
On April 14 1956, Ampex unveilled the world's first commercial video tape recorder. This was 60 years ago, as of 2016.
James O'Neal, technology editor for TV Technology magazine, marked the occasion 10 years ago with an comprehensive article on the debut of video tape recording and just gave an excellent talk that expanded his article at this year's Early Television convention in Hilliard, Ohio on April 30th 2016.
The article follows the historical thread and explains the technical constraints very clearly.
Regards,
