Betacam to DVD (Betacam Oxide, Betacam SP, Betacam SX, Betacam IMX and Digital Betacam) |
|||||
BetacamBetacam (aka Beta) is a group of half-inch professional video tape formats. Sony developed Betacam Oxide in August 1982. It was a successor to both U-matic the professional format of the time and Betamax, a tape the same size but of only consumer quality. The original Betacam had over 300 lines of resolution but only 30 mins duration.In 1986, Sony improved on Betacam to produce Betacam SP aka Beta SP. It offered horizontal resolution of 340 lines and 90 minutes record time. Beta SP (SP for "Superior Performance") became the industry standard for most TV stations and high-end production houses until the late 1990s. Digital Betacam (aka Digibeta or Digital Beta)Digital Betacam (aka Digibeta) was launched in 1993. It provided digital support on the same tapes being used and was able to record up to 124 minutes. Digital Betacam is still widely used in the broadcast industry today.Betacam SX (aka Beta SX) is a digital version of Betacam SP and was released by Sony in 1996. It was cheaper than Digital Betacam. It stores up to 194 minutes. The Betacam SX system was used quite extensively by news and current affairs programs. Betacam SX uses MPEG-2 4:2:2P@ML compression. Betacam IMX is a 2001 development of the Digital Betacam format. They hold up to 184 minutes. HDCAM, introduced in 1997 and HDCam SR, introduced in 2003 also use the Betacam housings. In 2000, DVD Infinity commenced professional Betacam (including Digibeta) to DVD transfer services. DVD Infinity can transfer PAL, NTSC & SECAM Betacam Videos to DVD. (Note there is no Digital Betacam, Betacam SX or Betacam IMX in SECAM). |
