Ampex. Nom donné improprement au magnétoscope destiné à l'enregistrement des images sur bande magnétique sans intermédiaire photochimique.

(...) en 1957 apparut le magnétoscope Ampex utilisant la solution originale des têtes tournantes. Pour enregistrer une image contenant une grande quantité d'informations, il est nécessaire de disposer de vitesses relatives de la tête par rapport à la bande extrêmement élevées - plusieurs mètres par seconde. Pour les obtenir sans être obligé de mettre en œuvre des quantités trop importantes de bande magnétique on a écarté le défilement linéaire (type magnétophone) et adopté des têtes tournantes. 3, record 1, French, - magn%C3%A9toscope%20Ampex
