Problem is most people didn't care about all the extras when their goal was rental tape playback and recording reruns in SLP mode, a TBC would only add to the confusion of the cheapskate owner whos clock perpetually blinks 12:00... the same guy who thinks his 13" Portland TV is the best on the block.
My Sony Digital Betacam (A-500/1) has a framestore system for BetacamSP analog playback. The head diameter is slightly larger in the digital decks so everything is transcoded digitally, timebase corrected and stored then buffered before feeding the video DAC, it also feeds the SDI port.
