DVW-A500P Digital Betacam Player/Recorder

DVW-A500P Digital Betacam Player/Recorder Description

The DVW A500P is the most fully-featured VTR in the Digital Betacam line-up. It records and replays component digital video using small and 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, it's 4 channels of 20 bit digital audio and it's high quality video output have also made it a firm favourite for linear "on-air" playout. 

The DVW-A500P is also the ultimate VTR for digital capture and play-out of SD (Standard Definition) material from Non-Linear editing and compositing suites.
