I'd be mildly surprised if some enterprising firm
didn't try to
record a frame of analog video at 60 fps on an ST412 track. One rev
per frame...
I am told that the action replays on TV were onc erecorded on a special
hard idsk. One frame per track, fixed heads (so almost instant moving
from one frame to the next) and analogue FM recording.
One of the companies that made them (PPL I think) also sold it as a PDP11
video dispaly peripheral. The special hard disk and a rack of boards (FM
modulato/demodulator, sync, etc). Connected via a DR11-B interace. I have
one.
