The CED: RCA's Very Late, Very Weird Video Gamble (Pt. 1)
Technology Connections
Technology Connections gives a deeply researched history of RCA's CED video disc system, a capacitance-based format that took over a decade to reach market. Part one covers its development and strange technology.
HN praises the depth of research and uses the CED story as a case study of a mismanaged, badly timed product.
