Which company invented the VHS? Explained

JVC, which stands for the Victor Company of Japan, pioneered the VHS (Video Home System) format as a response to Sony’s Betamax in the early 1970s. Unveiled in 1976, VHS was designed by JVC to offer a more accessible and economical solution for consumers. This format enabled individuals to record TV shows and enjoy pre-recorded films in their residences using reasonably priced devices. With its extended recording capabilities and inclusive licensing approach, VHS emerged victorious in the format rivalry of the 1980s, establishing itself as the prevailing home video technology for more than twenty years.
