Analog formats from Sony?? at DVinfo.net

Xander Christ · October 5th, 2004, 09:11 PM

I was wondering where I could get product information Sony's Professional Hi8 and BetaCam SP gear. Does anyone know what the last model camcorders and vtrs with component analog outputs were?

Thanks,

All Betacam SP decks, cameras will have component out. Only high end Hi-8mm gear will have component with the addition of an optional daughter card. S-video is not component.

Jeff,

Any idea on what the model numbers of the Pro Hi8 and BetaSP products were?

Sony had three lines of SP decks. The UVW (low end, semi pro), PVW (light duty pro) and BVW (hi-end, pro, BQ). The Hi-8mm gear was in the EVO series.

EVW-300 was the last pro Hi-8 camcorder (and maybe the only one that was integrated.) You could get any of the Sony camera heads and dock their Hi-8 recording section on them.

I still have a working EVO-9800A and a broken (weren't they all) EVO-9850. Heavy duty pro decks made for linear editing. Sold my EVW-300 with only 350 hours on it. It is still out there making money for the guy I sold it to.
