V-Cord

V-Cord

V-Cord was a videocassette format developed and released by Sanyo in 1974. V-Cord was released in two versions: V-Cord I (or just simply V-Cord), which could record a maximum of 30 minutes on one V-Cord cassette, and the later V-Cord II, released in 1976, which could record a maximum of 120 minutes on a V-Cord II cassette.

The V-Cord II machines were the first consumer VCR to offer more than one recording speed, two in this case.
