Certainly not digital audio in addition to the analog video. More than likely, it was what you suggest: The Sony 14-bit PCM system that converted digital audio into a psuedo-video signal which enabled ANY VTR to record digital audio. Of course, using this system would preclude the capability of recording regular video along with the digital audio, but hey, it's two channels of DIGITAL audio!</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>There WAS a 1-inch Type-C Sony VTR (BVH-2800) that could record digital audio along with the analog video. Also, Sony made a BetaCam SP deck with digital audio. I think it was named the BVW-D75.</div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Dennis Degan, Video Editor-Consultant-Knowledge Bank</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span> NBC Today Show, New York</div></div><div><br></div></div><br></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></body></html>
