Re: [Avid-L2] Way back machine... quiz for the 'early adopters' over 50...

Wikipedia says they're different - Betamax came first, then SuperBeta.

In early 1985, Sony would introduce a new feature, High Band or SuperBeta,
by again shifting the Y carrier—this time by 800 kHz. This improved the
bandwidth available to the Y sideband and increased the horizontal
resolution from 240 to 290 lines on a regular-grade Betamax cassette. Since
over-the-antenna and cable signals were only 300–330 lines resolution,
SuperBeta could make a nearly identical copy of live television.

"SuperBeta could make a nearly identical copy of live television." Love
that!
