One Inch VCR

One-inch VTR, a professional-grade video tape format in the ’70s, revolutionized broadcasting, offering high-quality recordings pivotal in early television production.

Sony BVH-3100PS

This machine gets its own page on our web-site – it is good to highlight because they are now hard to find. 

Our one-inch recorder is about 30 years old. We keep it running in A1 condition.

We use it mainly to make digital copies, either onto tape or capture as a digital file. It is increasingly difficult to find one in reliable working order, that is one reason why ours’ is so popular.

A VCR, or videocassette recorder, is a device used to play and record videos on videocassettes.
The main-stay of broadcasters in the 1970’s to 1980’s.

You might think it looks a little primitive, but they produce a good quality picture and were generally reliable.
