Sure, but since ED Beta was not compable with regular Beta anyway (just like SVHS was not compatible with VHS) why did not they shake it up further? If they doubled the chroma subcarrier, they could have created a decent consumer format comparable to the early Betacam, at least for the first generation of a recording. Maybe this is what they were afraid of, they were protecting their golden Betacam goose.
