Hi, in answer to your questions about the Betacam VTR. Nothing on any video output. Heads have been properly cleaned (which was the first thing I tried). I tried another TBU board and the picture returned briefly until I once again was suffering firstly from picture blocking and then total failure.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks
Somebody sell a small Betacam oxide tape?
Phil Winfield
Do you check with other tapes?
Do you ckeck in all video ouputs?
I think that you video heads are dirty
Hi, I own quite a few old ex broadcast kit. My BVW-75P was playing a tape yesterday when the picture suddenly disappeared on the monitor. The TCR code still shows, sound is ok too, but no picture. The monitor does show that a PAL signal is present.
I have lifted and replaced all the cards I can see, but still nothing. Looking at the technical manual, perhaps the fault lies with one of the TBC cards, caps look ok on all the cards?
The picture was stable and no noticable issues before it disappeared.

Hi All,
Hope your well well !
I am looking to buy 2x Sony DVW-500P with good HO2 and H12 hours, ideally a later machine so 17xxxx onwards with regards to the Serial number.
It has to be the 500P and not the A500P !
Thanks in advance
Chris.
Hi, does anyone know the original price in the UK, of betacam decks Sony PVW-2800P, or BVW-75P ?
Yes I have searched via google very thoroughly but cannot get a definitive answer!
Is correct to use Betacam Digital, SX, IMX and HD Cam tapes in machines that only play and record in Betacam SP?
Ron NEVER clean again the heads with acetone, this will destroy the heads
But you can to clean with alcohol, the best alcohol is isopropyl for clean
If I am confused I wait that someone warn me
And the best quality of this vcr is by the Y, B-Y and R-Y outputs, is the same quality of RGB but this vcr hasn't this outputs
For convert to digital you need a Y, B-Y, R-Y or RGB + sync input recorder
But the digital players has less quality of the Betacam SP players
Betacam digital perhaps but Betacam SX or IMX is worse, (has compression)
Also DV and mini DV too are worse, (has compression)
Perhaps the M2 format has the same quality of Betacam SP, here appears:

Jon Lipman this message belongs to the Betamax section but I saw the characteristics and appears that this camera run in 2 centimeters/ second (Beta II)
The vcrs beta run in other speed more slow
I think that your tapes don't run correct in a normal vcr
Today I know that some beta cameras run in other speed and I am surprised
I knowed that the NTSC run in various speeds but in PAL I thought that only has one speed as Betacam PAL
This message is for the owners of the web:
In the section, Betacam format the list characteristics is for NTSC machines because appears 1800 RPM and major speed tape
Do you change these characteristics to the same of the PAL machines?
Hi ..Can someone please tell me if I can view a previously recorded Betamax tape on the bmc200 betacam ? I just found a 35-40 year old camera and tapes we�d made back then . I want to view them before deciding to pay for digitizing content. Any Help or advise , please email ? Thank you !

LOOKING TO RENT OR BUY A BETACAM SP CAMERA

thank you!!
Hello!
I have acquired a Sony UVW-1800 BetaCam SP deck. I'm expanding my digital conversion business and recently a customer gave me a bunch of these tapes (and I didn't know at first there was a difference between BetaMax and BetaCam. The deck seems to work just fine mechanically, which is exciting. I'm wondering if someone here might help me with getting better video output quality! Using both the S-Video out and the Composite output (BNC) I am getting exactly the same issue with my picture quality. I have gone after each head with a cleaning swab and acetone and unseated and reseated all of the "expansion" boards to no effect.
What would you suggest by this picture:

Thank you for any guidance! I really want to get these tapes to play well for my customer (who is also my friend!)
Ron
hello,
I have a dvw500 is it possible that the auto rewind after tape end is disabled
So that the tape is not rewinding any more
I know that the DVW 2000 this option has.
thanks for the help
regards Michel
Karkera also of the service manual is necessary a sine wave generator, a oscilloscope, a voltimeter and perhaps more instruments
Dear michel de jong,
Regarding the Audio problem there could be audio circuit problems in AU boards or misalignment of audio heads(in that case your tape will show a folded dent on either top or bottom) if tape is fine then it's the AU BOARDS just in front after the RF boards..as a first aid just remove these AU boards by pulling up and reinserting the same back,if problem persists then you need to troubleshoot with extension board and service manuals if you are competent enough. If you need service manual it's on net. Best regards
The Sony BVW-70 can play and record oxide tapes?
