The only VTRs designed explicitly to do 405 were professional 2" Quadruplex and 0.5" Sony CV2000. Many helical scan VTRs could do 405 in the same way as VHS can but none were actively intended to record 405. I've recorded 405 with Umatic (old fashioned lo-band Sony 1800 series probably) as an experiment and it worked.
If you wer a broadcaster using Quadruplex then you'd have all the relevant kit. If you were a home/industrial/educational user with CV2000 you would typically use a 405 receiver/monitor with your recorder. The CVM90 is actually a bit later than the CV2000 but the Sony TV9-306UB I think could provide 405 video out from off-air reception and was the usual set to use with a CV2000.
The CV2000 begat the very similar looking CV2100ACE, 625 line, tape running at 11ips, which was widely used in schools.
