Sony produced at least one digital audio recorder that used Beta (not
Betamax) tapes for storage. I think they (and perhaps others) also
produced an A2D device ("modem") that took a two-channel analogue
audio signal in, and produced a composite video signal out, ready for
recording on any video tape recorder of the time.
