Discover the quality and simplicity of Digital Betacam.

Digital Betacam was the first recording format to bring the benefits of digital production to the wider programme making community. Since its introduction, Digital Betacam has become the established favourite for standard definition programme production where only the ultimate picture quality and sound will suffice.

The high quality performance of Digital Betacam, combined with its simplicity of operation is just one reason why many broadcasters around the world have chosen Digital Betacam as their “in-house” production format. Recognising the continued popularity of Digital Betacam around the world,

Sony has added a new third generation camcorder to the

Digital Betacam line-up.

With a comprehensive range of models and built-in capability to replay Betacam, Betacam SP, Betacam SX and MPEG IMX cassettes, Digital Betacam is the ideal format to fully integrate your existing operations into a digital environment.

The DVW-970P is the latest addition to the

Digital Betacam line-up. This third generation camcorder combines Power HAD

™

EX

CCD performance with high precision

14 bit A/D conversion to deliver reduced noise and smear and excellent sensitivity.

Progressive recording at 25 frames per second has been added, and features such as slow shutter mode, interval recording and picture cache operation are also provided. Use of the latest technology has reduced size, power consumption and acoustic noise compared with previous generation Digital Betacam camcorders.

The DVW-M2000P is a Digital Betacam editing VTR with Betacam, Betacam SP, Betacam SX and MPEG IMX playback. It combines superb picture quality with excellent multi-generation editing capability. The

DVW-M2000P records 4 channels of digital audio at

20-bit resolution and has powerful editing features such as Pre-read, Dynamic Tracking (DT) and insert/assemble editing to zero frame accuracy. Recording and playback of UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is also a standard feature, for productions where the rapid identification and access to material is required. Many broadcasters use Digital Betacam VTRs today for playout of content from Flexicart and Library Management

(LMS) systems. The DVW M2000P is ideal for this application, where the requirement for rugged, reliable

24 hour-per-day operation is mandatory.

The DVW-2000P offers the same features as the

DVW-M2000P but without Betacam, Betacam SP,

Betacam SX and MPEG IMX playback.

BKDW-101

Control Panel

The BKDW-101 provides additional control of the

DVW-M2000P and DVW-2000P from a remote location.

It is used with the BKMW-102 Control Panel Case and the BKMW-103 Control Panel Extension Kit. A switch on the front of the recorder allows control to be selected between the remote control panel and the control panel supplied with the recorder. The BKMW-102 and

BKMW-103 can also be used to extend the supplied front panel of the recorder. BKMW-103 includes a blanking panel which can be fixed to the front of the recorder in place of the original control panel.

BKMW-104

Compact Players

The J-30 and J-30/SDI are the smallest players of Betacam family cassettes.

The design concept of the J-Series was for affordable, compact office viewers to be used by producers, journalists and production staff. The J-30 and J-30/SDI can replay Betacam, Betacam SP,

Betacam SX, MPEG IMX and Digital

Betacam S-cassettes and L-cassettes.

They also have all the features required for viewing and logging, and – although not designed for linear editing applications or on-air use – are ideal for source feeding to servers or non-linear editing systems. The

J-30 provides composite and component analogue video outputs, while the

J-30/SDI has composite analogue and

SDI outputs. Both models have an i.LINK

interface for feeding material to DV-based editing applications, and are supplied with an infra-red remote controller. The J-30 and J-30/SDI also have a jog/shuttle dial,

525/625 versatility, simple remote control via RS-422A and audio meters – all packed into their compact size.
