Just as an fyi, that's pretty massive tape used in a broadcast studio.

The first consumer video camera (camera that recorded to tape rather than film) wasn't until the BetaMovie in 1983 with VHS coming months later. Heck, _home_ video recorders were still 15-20 years off at the time.

thanks, I wasn't aware, although whether or not they had what vanusa was saying seemed obvious.

Right - something for studios, not the man on the street.
