DVW A500
Digital Betacam is in widespread use world-wide for the production of very high quality programme material. There is a substantial installed base of products and the format is readily accepted by many of the world’s most prestigious broadcasters. You can choose from a range of camcorders, studio VTRs, office players and a portable recorder for productions such as drama, natural history, arts, commercials or where you need to guarantee the best results for general TV programming.
The Sony DVW-A500P is the most fully-featured VTR in the Digital Betacam line-up and the first choice for post production work. In fact, the units out are more ‘fully-featured’ than most because they are all fitted with the optional BKDW-506 analogue composite input board. In addition, all machines are modified to the -18dB EBU standard. TVE offers NTSC as well as PAL recorders.
This DVW-A500P records and replays component digital video using small or large Digital Betacam cassettes. The DVW-A500P can also replay Betacam and Betacam SP cassettes, allowing analogue material to be easily replayed into digital systems.
The robust construction of the DVW-A500P, its four channels of 20-bit digital audio and its high quality video output have all helped to make it an industry standard.
Available in PAL or NTSC.
