Sony Betacam Player - SDI - Beta SP / Beta SX - Compact - Sony J-10SDI

The Sony J-10SDI is a Betacam, SP, and Beta SX player that works with both NTSC and PAL system material. To fit into modern edit suites and production facilities, the unit outputs iLink which is Sony's version of Firewire, along with uncompressed SDI video for the highest quality standard definition video available.

Digital Video Outputs Even From Analog Source Material

Just because the production world has almost completely gone digital (film productions still exist) doesn't mean that analog source video is obsolete. The J10SDI takes Beta Oxide and SP analog tapes and outputs either Firewire or SDI video depending on what type of editing system you are working with. The Beta SX format is a native digital MPEG based system that should remain digital and it does. The machine also outputs timecode signals independently for the analog formats.

Audio Output

The J10SDI can access all 4 channels of audio native to the 1/2-inch Beta family of professional formats. The user may select any 2 at one time, channel 1 or 2, and channel 3 or 4. These selections control the headphone output also.
