		BetaCam and BetaCam SP - BetaCam was first introduced in 1982.
		The superiority of BetaCam shots comes partly from the technical aspects of the tape format but also in large part because of the use of superior optics and other camcorder and VTR components (and generally better operators!).
		Betacam SP uses a metal tape and is an improvement over BetaCam.

	Betacam PALsite: The Betacam Format
		Betacam SP differs from the plain Betacam system in that it uses high grade Metal Oxide tape to achieve greater performance through increased carrier and deviation frequencies.
		Digital Betacam, is a full 4:2:2 digital variant of the format which uses DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) to achieve the 2:1 compression.
		Heralded as 'Betacam for the masses' the launch of the UVW range brought the Betacam SP format within reach of many who until then had been unable to afford the high cost of the BVW series machines.

	The Betacam SP Format
		Home : Video : Formats : Beta : Betacam SP Betacam SP The successor to Sony's Betacam, Betacam SP was launched in 1986 and went on to become the most successful general-purpose professional video format of the 20th Century.
		Betacam SP was adopted as the standard format for field work such as ENG (electronic news gathering), but was also good enough to be used for edit mastering.
		The "SP" stands for "Superior Performance", which was achieved by using a metal-formulated tape instead of oxide.

	DV vs. Betacam SP
		Both oxide Betacam and Betacam SP produce image quality superior to S-VHS and Hi8 formats, primarily because of Betacam's separate recording tracks for luminance (Y) and chroma (Cr and Cb), rather than the color-under modulation method of S-VHS and Hi8.
		Betacam SX is a proprietary MPEG-2 derivative format (4:2:2 Profile@Main Level) proposed by Sony to ultimately replace Betacam SP.
		Betacam SX gains some compression credit for the use of B-frames and compressing the audio stream, but it's highly likely that the effective spatial compression of Betacam SX is greater than 5:1.

	Betacam
		Betacam's significance came in three areas: in new technologies that the format introduced; in broader technical improvements that Betacam simply incorporated; and in a number of new practices that developed alongside widespread adoption of the format.
		Apart from logistical benefits that came with Betacam's size and portability, and the enhancements that came with its shift to component processing, the camcorders that followed the BVW-1 and BVW-3 became, in the next fifteen years, a veritable index of historical improvements in video technology.
		When several Betacams were stolen from the frenzied corps that covered the O.J. Simpson trial in 1995, police quickly theorized that the gear--essentially low-cost studios-in-a-package--was probably already being used in the pornographic video industry that flourished in the San Fernando Valley area near Los Angeles.

		The Digital Betacam's digital audio tracks are much higher quality than the Betacam SP audio tracks, especially when Digital Betacam is connected to digital audio sources and mixing equipment.
		The goal is to allow standard Betacam SP recording and playback to be done in systems that have digital electrical connections as the native signal path.

	Betacam SP Hawaii video production
		Some of the small downsides of Betacam SP- Chroma detail is nice, but not as nice as DVCAM or digibeta, or other 1/2 inch 4:2:2 digital formats.
		Betacam SP is a little softer looking than these formats, and it is a component analoge format, and I don't count these as con's myself, but some do compared with 4:2:2 digital formats, which do have very nice and striking color detail.
		I personally like both, and do like the look of Betacam SP because of its less electonic look, which is pleasing for your eyes and brain to take in.

	Side-by-side: DV and BetacamSP
		For playback, the Betacam came through the UTP-2 again to re-emerge as Y/C, and both it and the VX1000 were fed to a pair of PVM-1344Qs in Y/C mode for side-by-side comparison.
		Betacam showed a sort of dither or instability on fine horizontal detail (that is, images of finely spaced vertical lines), which I attribute to random residual timebase errors on a scanline-by-scanline basis.
		In neither tape format were the recording artifacts present and visible to such a degree as to be distracting, or even noticeable upon casual viewing.
