Features High-Definition Picture Quality with HDCAM Format The HDW-2000 Series recorders/player adopt the proven HDCAM format, recording high-definition component digital signals using the state-of-the-art HDCAM compression technology. This excellent compression scheme maintains a high video bit rate of 140 Mb/s (data rate on tape of 185 Mb/s). The format combines superb picture quality with the high reliability and robustness of 1/2-inch tape integrated into a design approach inherited from the BETACAM Series. Compact, Affordable High-Definition Video Cassette Recorder/Player with Legacy Playback The HDW-2000 Series high-definition VTRs are not only affordable, they also provide a smooth migration path into the HDTV world. Five different models are available to suit budgetary and operational needs. In addition to HDCAM recording/playback, the HDW-2000 Series VTRs are equipped with backward playback capability for current 1/2-inch tape formats*; Digital BETACAM, MPEG IMX, BETACAM SX, BETACAM SP and BETACAM. However, the HDW-2000 eliminates this capability in order to provide utmost cost efficiency. With its affordability and different choice of feature sets, the HDW-2000 Series is destined to be a true workhorse in broadcast stations and ENG applications. * Playback-compatible formats vary by product.
