	Betacam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Betacam is a family of half-inch professional videotape formats developed by Sony from 1982 onwards.
		Betacam SP is able to achieve its namesake superior performance over Betacam in the fact that it uses metal-formulated tape, as opposed to Betacam's oxide tape.
		Betacam SP-branded tapes cannot be used for recording in consumer Betamax VCRs like oxide Betacam tapes, due to Betacam SP's metal-formulation tape causing the video heads in a Betamax deck to wear prematurely, which are made of a softer material than the heads in a standard Betacam deck.

		Digital Betacam is a proprietary codec, which was developed prior to the introduction of DV by several years.
		What Sony is doing with IMX is a bit like having the crew of the Titanic sell expensive first-class cabin upgrades to passengers after it hit the iceberg.
		IMX is interesting, but about three or four years too late to have the impact they want it to.

	SONY INTRODUCES MPEG IMX CAMCORDER
		Sony's MPEG IMX equipment has been widely adopted by major television broadcast networks, led by NBC, which is using nearly 190 MPEG IMX VTRs and digital disk recorders during its production of the upcoming 2002 Winter Games.
		A strategic component within Sony's MPEG IMX system strategy is the company's Betacam SX format, which is also based on the same 4:2:2 MPEG compression standard and is now firmly established as an ENG format.
		Jacobs calls the Betacam SX camcorder a "field brother" in the MPEG IMX family because its 18Mbps MPEG-based video stream can be transcoded into MPEG 50 without going back to a baseband signal and thus avoiding signal degradation - one of the powerful advantages of the MPEG system.
