First introduced in 1983, the Betamovie BMC-110 camcorder offered Canadians the opportunity to record moving images with a single unit. This particular camcorder was purchased in Alberta by the donor’s father. It was used to shoot family videos and commercials for the Holt tree Spade. This was the first generation of true beta video camera/recorders with integrated cassettes. The donor felt that this technology was easy to use and that it would help him preserve memories for the family and boost business for the sale of Tree spades. Like with many early forms of technology, this camera was very seldom used and by 1985, the donor had replaced it with a VHS camcorder for home use. Le Caméscope Betamovie BMC-110 était introduit en 1983. Il a permis au canadiens d'enregistrer des images mobiles avec une seule machine. Le père du donateur à acheter ce caméscope en Alberta avec le but de filmer des annonces pour la compagnie Holt tree Spade et aussi des vidéos familiales. Ce caméscope faisait partie de la première génération des caméscopes beta avec des cassettes intégrées. Le donateur trouvait que la technologie était facile à utiliser et qu'il pouvait aider à préserver moments et des souvenirs familiales. Il voyait aussi une autre avenue pour ce caméscope. Le donateur croyait qu'il pouvait augmenter les vents de Tree spades. Comme la plupart des versions de technologie dans leurs enfances, ce caméscope était rapidement surpassé avec des versions améliorer. Après 1985 le donateur a opté de remplacer le caméscope avec une version qui enregistrait sur un format VHS.

Technical
Betamovie was the brandname for consumer grade camcorders developed by Sony to use the Betamax format. The Betamovie BMC-110 was the first consumer grade camcorder to combine a video camera and a Beta format video recorder. It is an example of the first generation of consumer grade Beta Camcorders (fully integrated cassette/recorder/player), making the Betamovie BMC-110 a significant technological step from commercial to consumer video recording technologies. Previous cameras were joined to separate video recorders by a cable, which make the technology heavy and difficult to use. By combining the recorder and the camera, Sony made filming much easier, and subsequent filming equipment adopted this configuration. The BMC-110 was the North American NTSC model, while the BMC-100P was the European PAL equivalent. Betamovie était la marque de commerce pour les consommateurs des caméscopes fabriqué par Sony pour utiliser le format Betamax. Le Betamovie BMC-110 était le premier caméscope à combiner une caméra vidéo et un enregistreur vidéo en format Beta. Il est un exemple de la première génération des caméscopes Beta utilisé par le grand public qui était complètement intégré avec des cassettes, un enregistreur et un lecteur vidéo. Ceci a fait en sorte que le Betamovie BMC-110 à jouer un rôle technologique primordiale pour la transition des enregistrements vidéo graphiques entre la zone du commerce et celui des consommateurs. Précédemment, les caméras avaient besoin d'un enregistreur de vidéos séparé. Les deux étaient liés avec un câble, mais cela rendait la technologie pesante et difficile à utiliser. Sony a augmenté la facilité de filmer avec en créant une machine qui combinait un enregistreur et une caméra. La combinaison a aussi influencé l'équipement de l'industrie de film à adopter une configuration similaire. Le BMC-110 était le modèle NTSC du Nord d'Amérique et celui de l'Europe qui était l'équivalent PAL était nommée le BMC-100P.
