Nope, that was a different (but sorta related) format called Betacam.
Betamax might have had a better picture quality than VHS at the original Beta I speed, but Betamax recorders as old as 1979 discontinued that speed because 60 minutes was just not enough, so VHS at SP speed looked the same or better.

Yeah, you’re right, it was just Beta, or later on Betacam.
