Betacam has been used in professional broadcast since 1982. Betacam replaced the aging U-Matic format which had previously been used since the early 1970s. It used the relative inexpensive Betamax cassette, and offered a large improvement in quality over U-Matic. This format was in widespread use through the 1990s and is now considered obsolete, and should be archived immediately for safekeeping.
