PVW2800 Betacam SP Editing Recorder/Player

Description
With the high performance standards of the Betacam SP format and the affordability of Sony’s Betacam SP 2000 PRO series, the PVW2800 is ideal for corporate and institutional videographers. This editing recorder/player is designed for editing flexibility, excellent video/audio quality and easy operation. Its compatibility with BVW series Betacam SP products and peripherals make it an easy way to upgrade current systems. It features built-in TBC, built-in TC generator/reader, full editing control facility, 90 min record/playback, 24 times picture search, RS-422 remote interface, Y/C input/output and component video (Y, R-Y, B-Y) inputs/outputs. It records on metal particle tape and will playback any Betacam or Betacam SP recorded tape.

• Operating temperature: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)
• High Speed Picture Search
Picture search can be made at various speeds over a range of up to 24 times normal speed in forward and reverse by using the search dial mode incorporated on the unit. A recognizable color picture can be obtained at up to ten times (24 times in monochrome) normal speed in forward and reverse. In the jog mode, tape movement accurately follows the rotation of the search dial in both directions.
• RS-422A Serial Interface (9-pin)
Provided for versatile editing system expansion and flexible system control.
• Humidity: Less than 80% relative humidity
• Luminance (50% modulation): MPT:30Hz to 4.5mhz(+0.5/-4.0)dBOT:30Hz to 4.0mhz(+0.5/-6.0)dB
• Superior Picture Quality: This format uses the component recording, which the chrominance signals (R-Y, B-Y)are time compressed and recorded on one track, using CTDM (Compressed Time Division Multiplex) system originally developed by Sony, while the luminance signal is recorded on a separate track.
• High Quality Audio
Thanks to the tape speed of the format and the adoption of the proven Dolby C-type NR, the PVW-2800 offers high quality audio with a wide dynamic range even at high frequencies, minimum distortion and excellent S/N ratio.
• K-factor (2T pulse): MPT:Less than 2% OT:Less than 3%
• REF VIDEO IN (BNC): 1.0Vp-p, 75Ó
• Longer Playback Time: Both L-size and S-size cassettes are accepted, giving playback times of over 90 minutes and over 30 minutes respectively.
• Built-in Time Base Corrector
A superior quality output video is obtained directly from the PVW-2650, with no additional time base correction required. Advanced high quality digital dropout compensation also ensures consistent picture performance.
• Chrominance: MPT AM:More than 53dB MPT PM:More than 53dBOT AM:More than 50dB OT PM:More than 50dB

GENERAL:
• Character Display
A built-in character generator is provided and characters can be superimposed on the signal from Video Output 3 or the Monitor Output. It displays either time code reader data or CTL timer data. VTR function status, including shuttle tape speed, can also be displayed by accessing the setup menu. Furthermore, error number and status can be automatically displayed when the error is detected. Character display is On/Off switchable from the subcontrol panel. When the unit is operated under the setup menu mode, the initial setup menu is automatically displayed from the character generator.

• TBC Remote Control
In addition to the built-in TBC adjustment of the PVW-2800, remote adjustments may be performed using the optional BVR-50 connected via the D-sub 15-pin cable to the real panel connector (TBC REMOTE).
Tape speed
11.86cm/sec.

• Built-in Time Code Generator/Reader
The generation and reading of both VITC and LTC to the SMPTE format, together with user bits, come as standard. LTC can be automatically recorded on the dedicated time code track. Time code or user bits settings can be easily executed using the HOLD/SET button and the search dial located on the control panel. External/Internal time code, REGEN/PRESET, or REC-RUN/FREE-RUN selections are available on the subcontrol panel.

• Tape media used: Metal Particle Tape (MPT) Oxide Tape (OT)

• Fast forward/rewind time: Less than 3 min. with BCT-90ML

• User Friendly Dial Menu Operation
Provides an initial setup menu which has easy accessibility and simple operation. This initial setup menu allows many operational parameters to be preset for operator convenience. The initial setup menu is scrolled and modified by the search dial while monitoring Video Output 3, Monitor out, or the LED Time display. The modified menu is memorized in a non-volatile memory.

• Improved Serviceability
For easy maintenance and servicing comprehensive self-diagnostics is provided. A digital hour meter is also fitted to indicate the accumulation times of power on, drum rotation and tape running. It can also display the number of threading/unthreading operations.

• Search speed: Shuttle:19 steps, STILL to 24X normal, Fwd & Rev. Jog:Frame by frame, forward and reverse

VIDEO PERFORMANCE:
• Detachable Control Panel
Can be tilted at up to 90 degrees. Alternatively, the control panel can be removed from the machine to provide remote control from a distance of up to 5m by using the optional BKW-2010 Control Panel Extension Kit and BK-803 Control Panel Case.
• 19-inch EIA Standard Rack Mountable
With the optional RMM-100, the PVW-2800 can be mounted into a 19-inch EIA standard rack without taking off the side panel.
