hello all. very nice informative site you have here. hope it's ok to post ?

I've been into analog tape for 40 years. lately I'm buying old gear just to hear it.

the Betamax and Betacam format peaked my interest. I lucked into a Betamax w/stereo processor for only $20 USD.

my next experiment will be the early Betacam, the analog machines that use oxide tape, (not the SP and later format).

I know these early Betacam machines accept the standard small analog cassette with 30 minutes play time.

my question is, will a Betacam BVW-40 also accept a 12" large cassette ??

reason being I have found a small quantity of 12" tapes I'd like to try.

if anyone has one of these machines, could you post a reply ?

or, measure the depth and width of the tape well, and advise if it's configured to accept the large tape 90min.

thank all in advance, take care

Error code 01 means that there is tape slack and the machine went into tape protection.

Clean the whole threading path and make sure it can complete the cycle.

HI ALL.

I'm currently looking to buy a Betacam cleaner - something along the lines of a RTI 4100 tape cleaner.

Does any one know of anything available.

Jeroen,

It is a familiar problem with the PVW-2800 powersupply. It can be a number of things so it is best to find someone near you to have a look at it.

They are getting to that age, I have a few with the same problem.

Hello everyone!

Me and a fellow artist want to "refurbish" an old Betacam SP shot documentary on sung poetry in the Pamir mountains, which is the eastern part of Tajikistan (Central Asia, former Soviet Union). We began the project in 1993 and somewhere in 1995 a programme was ready. Somehow, we always were unhappy about certain parts of the film, so now we decided to act in our private time, before it is too late, tape-wise.

Because there is no budget we found some generous people who gave us a PVW-2800P and an AJA-io to be able to digitize the approx. 45 tapes into Final Cut Pro.

Now, this is what happened; Although the Betacam Deck worked like a charm before it somehow broke down on me yesterday, after connecting it to the AJA. The AJA was connected via firewire with the Imac and and both put on. The 2800P was NOT powered on when I connected one of the component wires from the AJA to one of the out-sockets of the 2800P. To see whether there was some visuals I put the 2800P on, but the only thing that happened was a quick lit on of the VU meters, a short movement of the video-drum and a ''click'' in the power area of the machine. It does that ever since, unfortunately, also when I disconnect it from the AJA. So, it is not completely dead, but gives only a very short bumb of "life"...

I suggest that something happened with static electricity or something of the like. All machines were earthed though via the electricity socket. Since I would like to get it to work again I wonder what could have happened and also what I could do to solve it.

I hope someone of you has this understanding of Beta-tech and could help in any kind of way. My gratitude will be everlasting! :-)

Hi. I have a keeper reel of my work from the late 90's on a Maxell Professional Betacam tape. I sent it, along with other cassettes of work, to a company to dub onto a dvd. They completed all of them except the one tape that had my last bit of network stuff -- some of my latest and best work. The cassette APPEARS pristine. Apparently, it woudln't work. As I said, it looks perfect and the tape has been sitting in a box since the late 90's. The other ones all worked.

Any thoughts where I could get this tape fixed and dubbed? Or fixed and dubbed somewhere else? I'm in the U.S. The tape is from CBS News originally. Thanks. K

The short answer to that is no... These are now very much 'vintage' cameras and as such obsolete. Parts would need to be obtained from a scrap unit.

By 'back panel' - you surely son't mean the connector panel?

Hi peeps, I have recently purchased a Sony UVW-100 eng camera. When it arrived, it was missing the bottom back panel, it's right next to the shoulder pad.

Is there a site that supplies parts for these cameras?

In response to the post below:

The old style hours meters will need to be completely replaced when the battery runs out.

But you have to ask yourself why you would bother unless you are fitting new heads?

The main purpose is to monitor headlife in a professional environment so that machines can be serviced before breaking down.

I have more BVW-75P 's than I care to count an none of them have working hours meters, they are still working absolutely fine.

Hope that helps,

Roderick

Original post:

I have a sony BVW 75P and its working fine but the hours meter isn't displaying (due to age of back up battery I think)

Can anyone tell me if its possible to replace the battery supplying the hours meter and if so where it is located.

I have the sony service manual but its very skimpy on this and simply says replace meter/battery so

do you have to replace the whole meter unit or is there a battery on one of the boards?

Any help would be very appreciated

regards

Kevin

Technical specifications of this camera you can get here:

https://www.yousendit.com/download/UFVvZUNrdkdFc0x2Wmc9PQ

http://www.yousendit.com/download/UFVvZUNqQzczeUpFQlE9PQ

Batteries is also included two Paglok Superpacks which are old and not really usable( holds ten minutes or less) and one Paglok L95 battery which is used but holds very good. It also provides information about itself on digital screen. You will know how much it is charged, and then working it also show how long it will last.

I provide 4 new Maxel 30minutes length tapes and 26pin ccz cable to output component video. I used it to capture video in real time and didnt use recorder. Cable also is not original and made by me, so no warranty, but it is working perfectly. Everything will be packed in original flight case to ensure maximum safety of the camera. Flight case one side is a little rusty, but still looks and locks good.

Next Item is Chrozsiel mattebox and filter kit. Mattebox holds two filters, one rotating, one fixed. It is one from famous Chrozsiel matteboxes with adjustable trap. There is one French flap. Camera base is included and everything is packed in nice case. There are filters included:

Hey, I'm having trouble with my Betacam UVW-100p. While getting shots on a bus my camera guy turned quickly and stupidly broke off the battery pack at the back, all the clips and threads were broken. He set me up a make shift system using leads. It worked for a short while but has since stopped. I'm afraid he may have reversed polarities. Is anyone aware if this model has a shut off for such an occurrence or are the entire circuits in the camera fried.

The Michael Sellman box adds AFM audio channels 3 & 4, which were never a feature on the UVW and PVW series. The box contains an AFM-1 card (used in the BVW-75P ) and necessary cabling to the vtr, to pick up the chroma head rf, and to the modultor for record. I dont think the vtr itself requires much modification, and i believe some people used to remove the bolt on boxes, as it made the machine look ugly!Sony did make a PCM betacam, the BVW-85P with an add on box PCM-85 (around 1990 i think). The machine had addition PCM heads mounted on the drum. The PCM tracks were recorded in the space occupied by one of the linear tracks. Only about 200 machines were made for the european market and the drums were very expensive, the tolerances much finer, which meant reliabilty and interchange became an issue. I guess with the introduction of digibeta in 1993 and other digital formats, the BVW-85P became obsolete.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this, so if anyone can help I would appreciate it.I just bought on Ebay a Sony UVW 1800P VTR. It works fine,but it features a Michael Spellman modification. It has 2 switches, 5 rotary knobs,(2 red,3 white) and 2 analog VU meters. Around the back of the modification are 5 XLR plugs and sockets. This is all fixed on top of the main case. I conclude it is some kind of audiodevice, but I'm not an engineer. It is very well made, looks made for the job.

If anyone can tell me what this device is, or where I can get literature brochure, etc.I'm also trying to aquire a User Manual, either PDF or original, for the UVW 1800P. I've tried all the "free manual" sites to no avail. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Peter, regarding your post a while back about a 1inch forum. I believe there is a facebook user group for owners of 1inch machines, and also a forum on Yahoo.In my opinion, the 2000s are more reliable, though the air threading is a nice feature on the BVH -3000. Some parts are still available from Sony (like pinch rollers) but are expensive. There is a company in the states that can re-tip upper drums and another (Terrys rubber rollers) that can re-manufacture rubber rollers, like pinch rollers. Heads generally do good hours ( 3000 +) though this is dependant on tape stock itself. In theory, used tapes shouldn't be as abrasive as new tapes, but then there's the sticky shed issue with certain older tapes. In terms of archive, i was under the impression that anything important was dubbed to D2 and D3 (BBC) formats in the mid 90's The problem these days is trying to archive these formats to the file based world we live in now. Trying to fix a D3 digital machine needs a slightly different approach to a 1inch machine-and heads aren't available either!

Hi AGS,

The SL-2000 is a Betamax machine, not Betacam. There are ways to rescue the tape but this will probably require the machine to be taken apart so you can manually unthread and eject the tape.Best to post on the Betamax page, many very helpful people there!

I posted this to the Betamax thread which I think was the wrong place, please excuse a double posting. As you will see I don't know about Betamax/cams, just wanted to help.Whilst surfing the net I came across your site. Having bought the contents of the stores of PSL, an audio/visual hire company I have a number of items that might be of interest to you. For instance a head assembly Sony DBH-42AR A-8260-978-A; Sony part DZR-41-R 8-848-579-03; Sony part DBR-40BR A-8260-975-B; Sony part DBR-40R A-8260-975-A.

Sony DCX-537 head that I need help with. It powers on but the output to a monitor and the viewfinder is not correct. On a monitor the screen is light blue at the top 1/8th and light green on the rest of the screen. Even pointing it at a bright light it does not change. Also when bars is switched on it shows the bars but is very dark and no blue or green showing. Maybe bad caps? HELP!

My BVW-65 seems to have lost its brightness channel. This appears to be true for both component and composite outputs. So far I have inspected the caps in the unit which show no visible leakage, pulled and reseated all readily accessible boards and opened the back panel and inspected (and jiggled) all wiring. The video controls have been tried on both preset and manually adjusted. The video head has been cleaned. The monitor has been checked to be sure it is OK. Unfortunately, I have no maintenance manual for the BVw-65 or BVW-75. Can anyone out there point me in the direction of a likely cause/solution and/or related maintenance information? Thanks for any help.

Hi all

I have inherited some NEC Betamax stufff and want to see if I can get it going. I have a video camera, a video thing that plugs in to the camera and also what looks like an actual recorder as well which I presume you playback the film? I was hoping to get some help on how to test it/set it up and also I have been unable to find a single article on the NEC equipment I have?

Anyone who can help let me know please, it would be so cool to get this stuff working
