| BETA (MAX) |
|---|
| A video recording and playback standard on 1/2'' tapes distributed mainly by Sony™. From its inception BETAMAX competed with the VHS system developed by JVC™. Both were intended for home use and there was no substantial difference between the two formats. Today, the Betamax system for home video is practically non-existent as that market is completely dominated by the VHS system. |
