Is sony betacam sx tapes digital or not?

It's digital ;)


How do you transfer video from betacam sx to dv tape?

The ideal solution would be to use a Sony J30 Digital Betacam/SX player, and connect via firewire to a DV recorder such as the Sony DSR11. Make sure you select the correct audio channels with the J30 (monitor with headphones), other than that it should be a straight PLAY and RECORD process. Alternatively get a company to do this for you, a google search will produce plenty of business who can do this.

What is video input of betacam uvw 1800?

The Betacam UVW 1800 is a broadcast standard video editing deck. There are several inputs: Composite on a BNC, S-Video on a 4 pin mini-din, component on a Sony 12 pin connector and component on 3 BNCs. Outputs are similar. This deck pre-dates the DigiBeta equipment and therefore there is no SDI interface (SDI is the digital component signal carried on a single co-ax).

Will digibeta play on betacam sp?

No. Most machines will just spit the tape right out, and even if not, they won't play it. Digibeta players tend to be costly, the cheapest current model is the Sony J30. A good used Sony J3 may be worth investing in if you have a lot of tapes, otherwise get a company to run them to your desired format for you.


What VCR format lost out to VHS in the 1980's?

JVC and others developed VHS (Video Home System) while Sony launched the Betamax format as a direct competitor. Although Betamax was technically superior to VHS and offered a higher picture quality, it lost the video tape format war after a number of years. The Betamax adopters were very limited with only Sony and Sanyo making any impact in the market. Betamax was more popular in North America than Europe and was still on the market for several years after they disappeared from British and European stores. It is interesting to note that some of the technologies and developments that went into the Betamax format were further developed into a format called Betacam. Betacam was the first of the truly portable broadcast tape formats and became the de facto standard throughout the broadcast world for news gathering. It is only in recent years that other formats have competed with Betacam as the industry moves to HD.

What year was the first video camera released?

What was the primary reason for the failure of Beta max?

Sony introduced Betamax in competition with VHS, developed by JVC and others. Technically, Betamax beat VHS with better quality images. The primary reason for VHS winning the war was marketing. VHS as a format was adopted by more manufacturers than Betamax (I think that only Sanyo produced Betamax players other than Sony themselves). VHS was also the format chosen by consumers. VHS was a slightly lower cost than Betamax. Pre-recorded material was not common at the time, so consumers were free to select hardware without too much regard for the format used by pre-recorded tapes. Additionally, most pre-recorded material could be bought on VHS and Betamax tapes. It is interesting to note that Betamax faired much better in the US than Europe. European markets selected VHS in a fairly short period but Betamax in the US remained popular for a number of years before it finally lost to VHS. The battle fought over the formats was for consumer hardware purchases rather than content. Pre-recorded material played a much smaller role than with the high definition DVD war we have seen recently. The DVD battle has taken place far more with the content producers, persuading the big players such as Time Warner, Universal and the like to adopt one format over the others. Sony were not completely defeated in the battle. Betamax was the basis for Betacam, a professional tape format. Betacam has become the international standard for broadcasters and is used in studios and portable news equipment around the globe. Betamax fans can take a little comfort in knowing that every time they watch the news on TV, it's coming from a modified Betamax tape.
