Based on the SHB Beta SL-HF3000 chassis, it featured comprehensive editing capabilities including a jog dial, shuttle link, programmable edit points, and ±3 frame accuracy — features that rivaled much more expensive U-matic setups.<br /> <br /> The EDV-9000 holds the distinction of being the longest-produced Betamax deck in history. It remained in Sony&#039;s product catalog for 15 years, finally ceasing production in August 2002. This made it the last Betamax deck Sony ever manufactured, marking the end of the format&#039;s commercial lifespan.<br /> <br /> At launch, Sony included a promotional ED Beta tape called &quot;Shiki no Oka: Natsu&quot; (Four Seasons Hill: Summer), a high-definition landscape film by photographer Maeda Shinzō shot in Biei, Hokkaido using HDTV equipment. The tape was presented in 4:3 with the sides of the original 16:9 image cropped.<br /> <br /> The EDV-9000 was the basis for the North American EDV-9500 (USA) and EDV-9300 (Canada). An undocumented service mode reportedly allowed βIs recording, though this was never officially supported. Body color is black (following Sony&#039;s convention of odd-numbered thousands being black, even-numbered being silver). As with all ED Beta decks, special playback modes used 8-bit digital processing — a first for consumer Betamax.<br /> |related_models=Sony EDV-9500,Sony EDV-9300,Sony EDV-5000,Sony EDV-7000,Sony EDV-8000,Sony EDV-6000<br /> |av_system=NTSC<br /> |tuner_system=NTSC-M<br /> |frequency=50Hz,60Hz<br /> }}<br /> {{AV voltage range<br /> |voltage_min=100<br /> |voltage_max=100<br /> }}<br /> {{AV input<br /> |label=Antenna<br /> |signal=RF<br /> |connector=RF (F-type)<br /> |count=1<br /> |audio=None<br /> |location=rear<br /> }}<br /> {{AV input<br /> |label=Line<br /> |signal=Composite (CVBS)<br /> |connector=RCA (connector)<br /> |count=1<br /> |audio=Stereo<br /> |audio_connector=RCA (connector)<br /> |location=rear<br /> }}<br /> {{AV input<br /> |label=S-Video<br /> |signal=S-Video (Y/C)<br /> |connector=Mini-DIN-4<br /> |count=1<br /> |audio=None<br /> |audio_shared_with=Line<br /> |location=rear<br /> }}<br /> {{AV output<br /> |label=RF Out<br /> |output_type=AV<br /> |signal=RF<br /> |connector=RF (F-type)<br /> |count=1<br /> |location=rear<br /> }}<br /> {{AV output<br /> |label=Video Out<br /> |output_type=Video<br /> |signal=Composite (CVBS)<br /> |connector=RCA (connector)<br /> |count=1<br /> |location=rear<br /> }}<br /> {{AV output<br /> |label=S-Video Out<br /> |output_type=Video<br /> |signal=S-Video (Y/C)<br /> |connector=Mini-DIN-4<br /> |count=1<br /> |location=rear<br /> }}<br /> {{AV output<br /> |label=Audio Out<br /> |output_type=Audio<br /> |signal=Analog stereo<br /> |connector=RCA (connector)<br /> |count=1<br /> |location=rear<br /> }}</div>
