SelectaVision was a trademark name used on four classes of device by the Radio Corporation of America:
- The Holotape, a prototype video medium[1]
- Magnetic tape
- VHS videocassette recorders, and
- Capacitance Electronic Disc videodisc players and the discs themselves, introduced in 1981. [2]
Capacitance Electronic Disc's competitors, Philips/Magnavox and Pioneer, instead manufactured optical discs, read with lasers.On April 4, 1984, RCA, having sold only 550,000 players, ended sales, losing $580 million.[2] The losses resulted in General Electric's acquisition of RCA in 1986, and the "SelectaVision" brand was abandoned.[2]
