We transfer, copy and convert Betacam and Betacam SP video tapes to DVD and Editable File Formats.
Betacam, Betacam SP and Betacam SP-S video format was first produced by Sony at the beginning of the 80's, and superceded professional U-Matic tapes. Betacam SP was rapidly adopted by television studios around the globe and was a very popular and versatile professional video format.
There are two tapes sizes, the smaller ones look like, and are often mistaken for, Betamax tapes. Betacam video cannot be played on Betamax equipment. We have the capacity to play both small and large betacam tape formats
For earlier recordings we use the excellent Sony BVW-22P Betacam deck. For later recordings, we use a Sony UVW1200P deck which has an onboard digital time base corrector resulting in the highest quality possible transfers to DVD and digital AVI files.
