Abstract: With the death of Charles A. Steinberg in March of 2024, the professional video industry lost one of its legendary pioneers. Charlie Steinberg was born in 1934 in South Brooklyn, New York, earning an MSEE degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 1955, he joined Ampex Corporation in Redwood City, California, as a design engineer. In 1956, after Ampex unveiled the world's first practical videotape recorder, the VR-1000, Steinberg became interested in video, beginning his life's work designing and managing the development of a wide range of television-related technologies.
