- This is the 1982 RCA VideoDiscs opening in stereo sound.
An RCA SJT-200 CED VideoDisc player was used; CX noise reduction was automatically employed by the player.
This was sourced from a stereo CED copy of "First Blood."
Animation was done by Robert Abel and Associates.
The first video format my family had was CED, back in 1982 or so. We had an RCA SGT-200 player, and I used to love watching movies on that old device. This little bumper used to get me so excited to watch the movies we had!
I haven't seen this since I was a kid in the 80s but I always remembered this music. Finally found it again.
Wow! That quality is incredible, especially given that CED was an analogue format. This is probably my favourite opening bumper from any home video company; it really gets you excited for the movie you're about to watch.
Raiden, laserdisc was better though... (Not because its the name of my channel)
Very nice for 1982. It was probably the best logo at the time.
Brings back memories! I also loved the other jingle RCA did for the video disc players.
This one is scary, 1981 is c h i l l
Side note. Robert Abel and Associates made that logo.
I remember when these were brand new and very popular, now they're just as old school as 8 track tapes.
I don't believe they were that popular at all, since sales being way below expectations were what drove RCA to discontinue it after only about three years on the market.
0.3 million sold. That’s nothing
Beautiful! Great job on the quality of the sound and video~
Every time I see this ident I almost think it's from '90s. I can't believe it's from 1982! It looks too advanced for 1982.
@Tony the Bomberman Agreed Big Time
Super agreed
Core memory unlocked
I've never seen a CED disc look that good. Great! :)
STAY AWESOME! :)
Looks better than most VHS's.
Which is impossible because CED used the same 3 MHz bandwidth as VHS and Betamax. (For comparison laserdisc & Super VHS was 5 megahertz.)
@@electrictroy2010 One thing CEDs did have over home video tape formats is a complete lack of chroma noise, which can lead to slightly better colour.
That said, if one were doing an A - B comparison between a good quality VHS tape and a non-skippy CED, I suspect it would be a toss up for which one a viewer preferred since, as you pointed out, both of these formats used the same amount of bandwidth.
man does that takes me back.
CED just like a Vinyl Record.
Ah, the memories!
@BrentAudi Amazing how something can be ahead and behind its time at the very same time. It was a revolutionary idea in the 70s, but Ed Griffiths' stall tactics assured that the format's 1981 release would assure that it was behind LaserDisc. I wonder, if RCA had stayed behind the format the whole way through, got over the initial production problems and released in '77, would it have succeeded? Would we perhaps have gotten to DVD sooner, or an RCA-made equivalent?
Which equipments do you use to do high quality CED Videodisc captures?
@Watcher3223 Well, to their credit, Pioneer did re-target the format at high-end videophiles, which was a huge step in the right direction considering the price of the discs and players.
It is funny, however, that DVD would not be affordably recordable for years after its introduction, but had kicked open the door like a house afire. Granted optical tech had somewhat matured by then between Laserdisc and CD, but still, the consumer market is a weird one indeed.
All CEDs have their own intros "A SelectaVision VideoDisc Presentation"
They should bring this back on Google Play movies. "An Android Google Play Presentation"
I liked the original intro better than the second intro.
@Watcher3223 Well, the delay was certainly a blessing to a point, but remember that Mr. Griffiths had dramatically slashed the R&D budget for the project. Of course, it's easy to play Monday morning quarterback, but I can't help but wonder if the problems would have been resolved quicker had funding under the previous CEOs been maintained.
THE OPENING TO THE GRATEFUL DEAD SEPTEMBER 1989 CED VIDEODISC, THE 2ND STEREO DYNA CED RELEASE AFTER APOCALYPSE NOW ON AUGUST.
RCA stopped making videodiscs in 1986 when General Electric acquired them.
RCA retained their original logo
What kind of technology was it? Was it a laser or magnetic or stylus based technology?
It used a needle just like an audio record player. But instead of sound vibrations stored on the disc, it used capacitance between the needle & the record. That increased recordable bandwidth from 0.05 megahertz (audio) to 3 megahertz (video).
@YukoAsho Yeah, CED would probably have succeeded more if it had gotten off the ground *before* Beta and VHS came storming in...
CED had major issues. It’s early release would have been 1977 (after VCRs).

"VideoDiscs" should never have been plural.
It's plural because SelectaVision VideoDiscs was RCA's name for their line of videodiscs, not just the one that's playing in the machine at the moment.
RCA is Currently Working on Their Newest Selectavision Gaming System That Could Play CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, PS2 Game Titles, PS1 Game Titles, PS3 Game Titles, Nintendo Wii Game Titles, Microsoft XBOX Game Titles, Microsoft XBOX 360 Game Titles, PSP Game Titles, PSP Movie Titles, Nintendo GameCube Titles, PC CD-ROM Titles, PC DVD-ROM Titles, Mac CD-ROM Titles, MP3s, WMAs, M4As, AACs and Mac DVD-ROM Titles. It Could Connect to Either the Computer (Via USB) or the HDTV (Via HDMI).
It’s scary because of the zooming gold Selectavision Videodisc Presentation text.
