Sounds like a Funai "video showcase", Funai CVC deck and color monitor in a luggable case. You're right, they were intended for showing promotional videos to potential customers. From memory they don't have a tuner, so you can't watch TV on one as is.
The CVC 1/4" tape format is an oddball. They look like audio cassettes, but they are slighlty bigger and definitely not interchangable. I've seen a couple of CVC portapaks, but never the "video showcase" unit you saw. When these things came out they were the smallest out there, but more compact VHS units soon followed and they lost their only advantage.
