VTR
Old recording device
VTR stands for videotape recorder, a machine that records and plays back video on magnetic tape.
The term belongs to the era of analog broadcast and production technology, when studios used large-format tape machines: The director called for a VTR playback of the last take.
Largely obsolete now that digital recording has replaced tape.
