    This shows that there was at least some hope of making U-matic into a domestic system at the start. In the end, it became used in industrial, ENG and occasional broadcast applications. Note that this was not a Sony-only product. JVC (and maybe others?) also make U-matic equipment. The format was still being used into the early 2000s. I've even seen adverts recorded on U-matic with web addresses included.

    This was in the bad old days when technology in my country, Australia, took longer to become available. It wasn't until 1980 that VCRs were sold in Australia and it wasn't until 1989 when my parents first bought one.

      I'm hearing you Jimmy, I bought a Sanyo Betacord VTC9300 from a pawnbroker in 1985 at the age of 15 for $30. It wasn't until 1987 my father seeing what his son had acquired finally bought a JVC VHS all be it begrudgingly having fought against the Japanese in WW2.

    It even has stereo sound? Now that's advanced... Stereo TV broadcasts wouldn't become commonplace until the late 1980s...

    • @pannoni8449
      @pannoni8449  2 роки тому +2

      I'm surprised it took about 30 years for stereo to develop from their namesake music players to TV. I'd think sometime during the '70s, around or shortly after the time it became common on radios it would have taken off. But I guess the equipment made it cost prohibitive for awhile. Many early VCRs also didn't have stereo, not becoming common until around 1985 or so.

      I remember stations would do FM stereo simulcasting so you could get stereo sound on TV. In 1985 I remember a local TV station interrupted their programming one evening to inform you they were turning on their new MTS stereo system at that moment.

    I was looking into the video unit that the group Led Zeppelin had installed on their private jet for their 1973 world tour and this popped up. It's quite a piece of analog archeology.
    Note the young woman wandering on to the set at 5:17 and the implications for the adult entertainment industry.
    This was back in the Mad Men days, when America could and actually did produce their own televisions and the false promise of the Beta Max, YOWZAH!

    U-Matic in my age of Video never household can afford! only Video2000, VHS or less Beta was in the Austrian, Graz market at this mid 80s. A Videorecorder cost 2moths income and near nobody have one. Till the price is falling down to a monthly earning then the people buy it. Or in the Video-Shop they rent the Player to there Videocassettes. Most of them was Funai VHS Player.

    Fantastyczna reklama, super że nie zaginęła! ❤️👍🙂
    U nas w Polsce w tym czasie nawet nikt nie śnił o takich cudach jak ten magnetowid, nawet kolory telewizor to był szczyt marzeń 😲
    Wtedy zwykła wypłata w przeliczeniu ze złotówek wynosiła może 20 dolarów na miesiąc więc zakładając że kosztował 3000 dolarów trzeba by było odkładać wszystkie pensje z 12lat! 😲 a jeśli by ktoś jakimś cudem przywiózł z zachodu ten sprzęt to byłby na celowniku służb specjalnych i prawdopodobnie zostałby mu skonfiskowany!
    Dlatego dziś po latach sam mam w kolekcji kilka Sony Betamax, kilkanaście VHS, do tego wiele kamer na różny system kaset video 🙂
    Pozdrawiam Serdecznie wszystkich miłośników starego video 💪👍
