Vinyl Videos: The Rise and Fall of the RCA Videodisc
Introduced in 1981, the RCA Videodisc system – along with the story of its creation, introduction, and impact on the RCA corporation – embodies the curious power and fragility of corporate innovation.
This exhibit uses objects, images, and documents from the Sarnoff archives along with first-hand and scholarly accounts of this product’s development and demise to examine the complex relationships between basic research, business decision-making, and product development and marketing.
