OVER Videotape

videotape

Videotape is magnetic tape used for storing video and usually sound in addition. Information stored can be in the form of either an analog signal or digital signal. Videotape is used in both video tape recorders (VTRs) or, more commonly, videocassette recorders (VCRs) and camcorders. Videotapes are also used for storing scientific or medical data, such as the data produced by an electrocardiogram.

Because video signals have a very high bandwidth, and stationary heads would require extremely high tape speeds, in most cases, a helical-scan video head rotates against the moving tape to record the data in two dimensions.

At Home

The first consumer videocassette recorders (VCR) were launched in 1971 (based around Sony U-matic technology). Philips entered the domestic market the following year with the N1500.[18] Sony's Betamax (1975) and JVC's VHS (1976) created a mass-market for VCRs and the two competing systems battled the "videotape format war", which VHS ultimately won. At first VCRs were very expensive, but by the late 1980s the price had come down enough to make them affordable to a mainstream audience. Videocassettes finally made it possible for consumers to buy or rent a complete film and watch it at home whenever they wished, rather than simply catching it at a movie theater or having to wait until it was telecast. It also made it possible for a VCR owner to begin time-shifting the recording of films and other television programs straight from the transmission. This caused an enormous change in viewing practices, as one no longer had to wait for a repeat of a program that had been missed. The shift to home viewing also changed the movie industry's revenue streams, because home renting created an additional window of time in which a film could make money. In some cases, films that did only modestly in their theater releases went on to have strong performance in the rental market (e.g., cult films).

Videotapes, Wholesomeness, and CSGO

The word videotape is generic, to say the least. The word stands for a worldwide phenomenon in which memories and creations could be shared in a new, compact way. It's wholesome because it embodies such a large variety of creativity and technology in just 9 letters. Wholesomeness is an important word to note as well. While it can be defined as containing the entirety of things or ideas, it mostly has to do with the suggesting of good health and physical well-being, and this is where CSGO comes to hand. Our message is victory through sportsmanship, good-heartedness, manners, and teamwork.

Videotape: An open-ended name

26 februari 2017 - smeefo | 1 opmerkingen

The goal here is to create a large congregation of diverse gamers. The benefit of having a name like Videotape is that it is so generic that it isn't tied to a personal attitude, belief, mindset, or cult. I hope that we can become something big in the name of genericism! And above all else, let's just have a good time haha.
