    Are you sure they were BetaMax and not Betacam SP? Beta SP (as it’s more commonly known) is a high quality format that was still being used by TV stations when I was working them as late as the 2010s. There were a few other later much higher quality formats like ED-Beta.

    Also, I believe some camcorders also used Beta formats.
