Priced at $42,000 back in 1967, the Ampex VR-3000 camcorder backpack “changed TV forever, moving the entire broadcast television industry from film to video.”
The video format—invented by Redwood City-based Ampex in 1965—was called 2-inch Quadruplex, and used four magnetic heads to record both PAL and NTSC standards using different speeds.
