Betacam SP

We offer a full suite of solutions to convert and transfer your Betacam tapes into a digital file or DVD/Blu-ray format.

1986 would see the next progressive step in the Betacam line with the SP (Superior Performance) iteration offering an increased resolution. Beyond improved image quality, the SP cassettes would upgrade the medium from the ferric-oxide of the original Betacam, to a new metal tape for the SP, which allows for a more efficient signal delivery.

Betacam SP video cassettes are available in 2 different sizes. The 90 minute Betacam SP cassette is larger and found usually in Television Studio environments, while the smaller cassettes, ranging from 5-30 minutes were compatible with consumer level camcorders.
