Besides digital cameras as mentioned in the previous article, another such device called movie cameras eventually evolved into present day device that captures movement and sound. Known as the camcorder, these modern marvels are now very compact and can easily fit in the palm of your hand. The technology has advanced so much, that these camcorders provide outstanding visual and audio capture qualities. They have evolved to be extremely small in size, a variety of features such as a wide range of automatic and manual imaging modes, as well as a variety of input and output selections.
Before the modern day camcorder, there were such devices called quad decks (about the size of a refrigerator lying on its back) to record video onto a 2-inch wide videotape.Then they dropped in size to one inch or 3/4 inch configurations.
Try to imagine that in the past these movie recorders actually used electronic tubes. Ampex in 1963 became the first company to get credited for the invention of a home video system.
