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.
Ampex was the pioneer in this particular field I think.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
