Sony PVW-2800 Betacam Editing Tape Recorder Player SP - Tested PLAY - As Is
From the manufacturer:
The PVW-2800P is a Recorder/Player inheriting the advanced performance of the Betacam SP format, it assures maximum compatibility with the BVW series Betacam SP products and a wide range of their peripheral equipment.
It is equipped with a built-in Time Base Corrector and Time Code Generator/Reader. In addition to composite and component video input and outputs, it offers S-Video In/Out connectors, an RS-422A control port and an optional U-Matic Dub Out capability. This comprehensive interfacing makes the PVW-2800P easy to integrate into existing editing systems.
The adoption of the world standard Betacam SP recording format results in the superior picture quality of the PVW-2800P. This format uses the component recording, in which the chrominance signals (R-Y, B-Y) are time compressed and recorded on one track, using the CTDM (Compressed Time Division Multiplex) system originally developed by Sony, while the luminance (Y) signal is recorded on a separate track. Therefore cross colour and cross luminance effects do not exist in this system. This component two-track recording technology is combined with high frequency FM carriers for each track, providing very wide bandwidths for both the luminance and chrominance signals. Thus pictures with detailed luminance and chrominance information can be reproduced. These characteristics create the excellent multi-generation picture performance of the Betacam SP format.
Condition: For Parts or Not Working
This tape deck powers on and we were able to play a tape and see good output video. However, we are unable to test all its functions. Based on this, we are selling it in "as-is" condition for parts or repair. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
