DVW-M2000 DVW-2000 A New Plateau of Digital Betacam Studio Recorders Delivering Proven Picture Quality and Reliability Together With Added Flexibility and Scalability Since the introduction of the Digital Betacam format in 1993, Digital Betacam products have been widely accepted by a number of customers such as video production houses and broadcasters around the world. Its outstanding picture quality, multi-generation capabilities, and proven reliability have made the Digital Betacam format a standard for high-end video production applications. One decade after its launch, Sony has further evolved its range of Digital Betacam products by enhancing their flexibility, scalability, and operability - the result is the new DVW-M2000 and DVW-2000 Studio Recorders. These recorders inherit all the advantages of previous models, DVW-A500, such as superb picture quality and outstanding video performance. What's more, the DVW-M2000 VTR also provides powerful playback capability for all Sony 1/2-inch standard-definition format tapes*, allowing for continuous use of important archive materials and acquisition tools. Furthermore, a plug-in HD upconversion option allows these VTRs to output HD signals of 1080/59.94i or 720/59.94P (DVW-M2000/2000), or 1080/50i (DVW-M2000P/2000P). This is possible not only from Digital Betacam playback, but also from the playback signals of other compatible formats** such as the BetacamTM and MPEG IMXTM formats, providing a very smooth migration to future HD operations. Further advancements such as metadata handling capability, flexible audio operation, and a compact body design are all incorporated in these VTRs to increase their operational convenience. The new DVW-2000 Series of Digital Betacam VTRs will continue to offer top-quality SD recording, while allowing use of SD archives and bridging the way to future HD operations. *The DVW-2000 model records and plays back Digital Betacam tapes only. **Upconversion from SD formats other than Digital Betacam is possible only on the DVW-M2000 model. In this brochure, "DVW-M2000" and "DVW-2000" refer to both NTSC and PAL models. 2
