Ampex VRX 1000: First Videotape Recorder

The Ampex VRX-1000 (later renamed the Mark IV) was introduced on March 14, 1956, at the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters in Chicago. This is the world’s first practical videotape recorder and is hailed as a major technological breakthrough. In this photo, CBS goes on air with the first videotape delayed broadcast, Douglas Edwards and The News, on November 30, 1956, from Television City.

    And now we can shoot video with a phone that’s about the size of a deck of cards. I need to show this picture to my kids and watch their jaws drop.
