The applications of video tape recorders over the past 10 years have been truly incredible. These applications have ranged from the sophisticated broadcast machines of the early sixties to the present handy-dandy, do-it-yourself units for the home. The birth, growth, and maturity of the video taping industry has closely paralleled the skyrocket of broadcast TV. Today, the video tape machine and its partner, the TV video disc, are so essential to the TV industry that they are truly indispensable. It would be hard to imagine a network TV system without its edited tapes of commercials and programs.
