. At approximately one fifth the size of broadcast VTRs, it was considered “portable” and represented a revolutionary breakthrough in miniaturization, thanks to the first use of a “1.5-head” design (one head recorded only vertical synchronization signals). In 1964 and 1965 the machine replaced 8mm and 16mm film for in-flight movies on American Airlines and Pan American flights.

 portapack of its time. The camera has a 10 to 40mm/f1.8 zoom lens, a “through the lens” optical viewfinder and a built-in microphone. The system is unique in that it records on 1/4” open-reel tape. To compensate for the narrow tape width, the liner tape speed runs at 11 ips, higher than the half-inch systems which ran at 7.5 ips.'))

Unlike cassettes, single-reel cartridges cannot be removed until fully rewound.'))
