The Motorola Teleplayer was the first commercially available “video cassette/cartridge” playback system for entertainment and business. The 7" EVR (Electronic Video Recording) cassette/cartridge used for playback was manufactured by CBS. Two magnetic stripes provided stereo sound, and inexpensive black-and-white 8.75mm silver-halide film (lenticular process) provided images with color information encoded on a separate track. The signal was transferred to the film by electronic beam recording and was played back on a TV. One track was for the luminance and the other was for either the chrominance (to produce color images) or luminance (to provide a second monochrome track). The machine was for play only, with rewind, fast-forward and freeze-frame capabilities. The format was invented by CBS Chief Scientist Peter Goldmark, who also invented the long-play (LP) record. |
