	MEDIA COLLECTION U-matic Media » Designed in the late 60s and early 70s, the U-matic format was the forerunner to all modern home video formats. Intended for professional use, this format's design included many advanced features enabling full editing capabilities right from the beginning. The U-matic format was used to record many industry conferences, and our Media Collection includes recordings from both the NCTA and WICT, as well as programming from A&E, Showtime, and TBS.
