Videotape is magnetic tape used for storing video and usually [[Sound recording and reproduction|sound]] in addition. Information stored can be in the form of either an [[analog signal|analog]] or [[Digital signal (signal processing)|digital signal]]. Videotape is used in both [[video tape recorder]]s (VTRs) and, more commonly, [[videocassette recorder]]s (VCRs) and [[camcorder]]s. Videotapes have also been used for storing scientific or medical data, such as the data produced by an [[electrocardiogram]].
