Description

The Sony BVW-60 is a Betacam SP studio player introduced by Sony in 1987 as part of the original Betacam SP equipment lineup. It is a playback-only deck designed for use as a source machine in editing suites and playback facilities.

The BVW-60 plays back both Betacam SP metal particle tapes and original oxide Betacam cassettes in both L-size (90+ minutes) and S-size (30 minutes) formats. Four audio channels are available: two longitudinal tracks with Dolby C noise reduction and two AFM (audio frequency modulation) tracks offering wider frequency response (20 Hz to 20 kHz) and greater dynamic range.

The built-in TBC with advanced digital dropout compensation provides stable broadcast-quality output directly from the deck without external processing. A built-in character generator can superimpose timecode, CTL counter, function status, and shuttle speed data via Video Output 3.

High-speed picture search provides recognizable color pictures at up to 10× normal speed and monochrome pictures at up to 24× normal speed in both directions. The RS-422 9-pin serial interface allows integration into editing systems as a source/player deck.
