- Well, the Sony was designed to record digital on the video track
- of a Beta machine.... However you are talking about a PCM
- encoder. It records digital data on the video track of ANY type
- VCR.
-
- The Sony units included the PCM-F1, etc.
-
- They are to my knowledge no longer sold, but I have seen used
- units in the back of audio magazines.
-
- Also Toshiba used to sell a VCR that offered the choice of either
- PCM audio or video on the video tracks.
