70s Tech: Discovision!

1979: Dancing Shoes Not Required Bob Mayer's consumer electronics reporting for WTVJ put the station in the video vanguard; in this story Mayer examines DiscoVision, the home video technology so new it wouldn't hit South Florida store shelves for another year. Described as "A home video system that uses records instead of tape," DiscoVision offered early-adopting vidiots a dizzying array of special features. You could watch a video in fast forward and reverse! You could search the disc frame-by-frame or just eyeball it; and Discovision's stereo sound was an improvement on home videotape. And all this with no wear on the disc, as only a beam of laser light made contact with the disc, although Mayer mentions down-market models that read the discs with a needle. One possible drawback: DiscoVision was playback-only, with no recordable discs available in the foreseeable future. Maybe that's what limited DiscoVision's popularity. Or maybe it was the DiscoVision name, hitting the market just when disco was becoming passe.
