Sony PVW-2650

Model Details

Well-equipped for industrial and corporate production environments, this Betacam SP player with Dynamic Tracking is a pleasure to work with. The dynamic tracking function, originated by Sony, distinguishes the PVW2650 by providing noiseless playback at -1 to +3 times normal speed. With advanced features such as built-in TBC and time code reader, 90 min. playback, 24 times picture search (35x without picture lock), RS-422 remote interface, Y/C output, component video with Y, R-Y, B-Y signal output through either 12-pin dub or 3 BNC connectors and composite output, the PVW2650 can be easily integrated into a range of editing systems.

Features:

• Broadcast quality noiseless playback within the range of -1 to +3 times
• High speed picture search - up to 24 times normal both forward and reverse
• Built-in Time Base Corrector
• Built-in Time Code Reader
• Long playback time - up to 90 minutes
• Variable speed playback memory
• High audio quality
• TBC remote control
• 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.
• Provided for versatile editing system expansion and flexible system control.
• 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.
• Thanks to the tape speed of the format and the adoption of the proven Dolby C-type NR, the PVW2650 offers high quality audio with a wide dynamic range even at high frequencies, minimum distortion and excellent S/N ratio.
• Both L-size and S-size cassettes are accepted, giving playback times of over 90 minutes and over 30 minutes respectively.
• A superior quality output video is obtained directly from the PVW2650, with no additional time base correction required. Advanced high quality digital dropout compensation also ensures consistent picture performance.
• The reading of both VITC and LTC to the SMPTE format, together with user bits, come as standard.
• 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.
• Provides broadcast quality noiseless playback pictures within the range of -1 to +3 times normal tape speed due to the Dynamic Tracking technology originated by Sony. The highly advanced DT system has new head dither circuitry and computerized control to ensure accurate head tracking.
