Panasonic is a JVC trade name. They're quite good parts actually.
Think that's the wrong way round. Panasonic is owned by Matsu****a, who
took over JVC in the '50s.
The plot thickens.
I always assumed Panasonic was the premium brand of Matsu****a. They are
or were heavily into the broadcast market. MII was the rival to Sony
Betacam, and arguably of better quality - so the VHS/Beta situation got
reversed there as Betacam was by far more popular.
