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.
