Ampex Helical Scan Video Recorders

Ampex means more than audio and video recorders

This site is dedicated to the Ampex Pioneers and those who followed. Erhard Kietz and colleagues at work on a Ampex 2" transverse scan instrumentation recorder in the late 1950s. The recorder was based on the successful Ampex VR-1000 2" Quadruplex Videotape® recorder pioneered by Ampex colleagues in Redwood City, California. From the Erhard Keitz family collection.
