AFAIK many professional Sony systems also ran some derivatice of NEWS OS, for instance the fabulous mixing console Oxford OXF-R3.

I used to work for Sony Broadcast and Professional R&D, as a junior sysadmin and all around project technician, in the UK, and visiting the Oxford office was always a highlight. (The mixing console was designed there, iirc)

They used Windows NT on DEC Alphas, and their sysadmin was always nice to me, despite me being very much an annoying junior n00b.

Sony’s commercial broadcast automation system that used robotics to feed tapes into Beta machines, ran this OS.
