betacam was better than vhs, and was used in the broadcasting industry. It was better than vhs.

Betamax, which is the one you're talking about, is not the same format, and actually equal to or slightly inferior to vhs.

I know what Betamax is.

That’s not actually true. Technology connections made a few videos about it.

The broadcasting Beta format was basically a whole different format compared to that you could get at home. Completely unrelated.

isn't that exactly what i said? Betacam (studio) vs betamax (consumer)
