re: professional video cassette formats

Neither Beta nor VHS are extensively used in "professional" video
applications.  The original 3/4" video cassette format is the
U-Matic format.  I don't have specifics on tape speeds, etc. but it is
certainly higher quality.  By the way SONY pioneered all three
(U-Matic [3/4"], Beta and VHS [1/2"]) formats.
