Beta had lost the format war... or had it not? Betamax lost to VHS, but its professionalgrade offspring, Betacam, won over the professional variants of VHS.



The main source for this video are Broadcast Engineering and Broadcast Management/Engineering magazines. Video samples are taken from the BBC, KPIX, Sony, CBS, NBC. I want to particularly mention Sony BVW 400 review by ‪@drdma1‬ and Betacam SP footage uploaded by ‪@ReelyInteresting‬.
