Sony DVW-709WSP Manuale Utente

Digital Betacam uses 10-bit component digital recording 
to provide superb picture quality and multi-generation 
capability. Conforming to the ITU-R BT 601 standard
adopted for the D-1 format, it records a 4:2:2 digital 
component video signal together with four channels of 
20-bit/48 kHz digital audio. 
Bit Rate Reduction (BRR) technology has made it possible
to provide very efficient handling of video signals. Digital
Betacam uses very mild intrafield data compression of
about 2:1. Applying data compression within each field
avoids aliasing, ensuring outstanding multi-generation 
performance. 
Because of its robustness, reliability and high-end 
performance, Digital Betacam has been accepted as the
industry standard for the production and postproduction of
demanding and sophisticated programmes. A large number
of postproduction houses world-wide offer Digital Betacam
based editing. Digital Betacam has also become the 
dominant digital format for programme interchange, with a
large majority of broadcasters using it as their preferred
transmission format. Many industry awards for innovation
and technology had been awarded to Sony for the Digital
Betacam. Digital Betacam is the format that means quality
and offers extra piece of mind to production teams and
broadcasting organisations.

The Format that 
Means Quality And
Extra Peace of Mind!
