Outstanding Picture Quality of the
Digital Betacam Format
DVW-2000 Series VTRs use component digital
recording, which provides superb picture quality,
multi-generation capability, and editing
performance. The use of a very mild
compression ratio produces picture quality that
is equivalent to baseband signals.
Powerful Legacy Playback Capability
(DVW-M2000)
The DVW-M2000 VTR provides the powerful
capability to playback all Sony 1/2-inch SD
formats including Digital Betacam, MPEG IMX,
Betacam SX, Betacam SP, and Betacam formats,
allowing users to continue to utilize archive
material. Furthermore, this allows a flexible
choice of acquisition tools, ranging from analog
Betacam and Betacam SX to MPEG IMX
formats. This VTR can also be used as a
multi-format feeder in the editing suite,
minimizing the amount of equipment needed.
Record
Optional HD Upconversion Capability*
One of the distinct advantages of the new
DVW-2000 Series Recorders is the optional HD
upconversion capability, providing 1080/59.94i
or 720/59.94P (DVW-M2000/2000), or 1080/50i
(DVW-M2000P/2000P) HD outputs.
Furthermore, the DVW-M2000 VTR can output
these HD signals when playing back any of its
playback-compatible formats. This option
allows smooth migration to today's and future
HDTV operations.
*Requires the optional BKMW-104 board.
