RE: Betamax introduced in 1975 Posted Saturday, July 23, 2011 11:52 AM VHS came later. Umatic (3/4") was first introduced by Sony several years before Betamax as a home video format. The VR-1600 had a tuner to be able to record off the air. |

VHS came later. Umatic (3/4") was first introduced by Sony several years before Betamax as a home video format. The VR-1600 had a tuner to be able to record off the air. In one of my graduate school classes at Yale we were supposed to come prepared to discuss a new technology that would make a difference in the future. One of two technologies talked aboutI was the aboility to record off the air and also view movies at home. I had seen my uncle's Umatic machines two years before and his work at Presentation House, which he helped create in LA for Columbia Pictures / Screen Gems to test audience reactions to film, TV, commercials, etc. |

Betamax was late to the party - 1975.
