Sony BVH2000PS

Sony Videocorder BVH2000PS recording and playback device that records on one-inch tapes. The device was used with a control editing desk and a sister unit. Two one-inch video decks were connected to the control editing desk, allowing for editing between the devices. Using the editing deck, the tape was edited and transferred to a blank VHS tape in the other video player. A VHS tape is one inch, or 2.5 cm, wide. The one-inch format was considered a very good video format and was widely used in television and documentary production from 1985 to 2000. The device was originally used by Myndform but is now in use at the National Film Archive of Iceland and is therefore a living artifact.
