Video Recording System: 1950s Bing Crosby Enterprises, the research team funded by Crosby and headed by engineer John Mullin, demonstrate a crude video recording system. Tape Recording Technology - Audio and video magnetic recording has had greater impact on broadcasting than any other single development.

Video Recording System: 1950s Ampex Corporation demonstrates its first video recorder, the VR1000. The machine, which recorded only monochrome signals takes the industry by a storm and quickly becomes the standard.

The images were played back through a television receiver or monitor, or printed out.

Video Developments: 1990s 3D-video, digital video in three dimensions, premiered at the end of 20th century. Six or eight cameras with realtime depth measurement are typically used to capture 3D-video streams.

Video History: Summary Tape Recording Technology - Audio and video magnetic recording has had greater impact on broadcasting than any other single development.
