History

Video recorders were sold for $50,000 in 1956, & videotapes cost $300 per one-hour reel.[1] However, prices gradually dropped over the years; in 1971, Sony began selling videocassette recorder (VCR) decks & tapes to the public.[2] After the invention of the DVD in 1997 & Blu-ray Disc in 2006, sales of videotape & recording equipment plummeted.

Video expertise was first developed for cathode ray tube (CRT) tv systems, but several new technologies for video display devices have since been invented. Charles Ginsburg led an Ampex research team developing of the first practical videotape recorder (VTR). In 1951 the first videotape recorder captured live images from tv cameras by converting the camera's electrical impulses & saving the information onto magnetic videotape.

Later advances in computer expertise allowed computers to capture, store, edit & transmit video clips.
