DVW-970P
Sony DVW-970P PAL Digital Betacam Camcorder
This third generation Digital Betacam camcorder is widescreen switchable and uses a new generation of Power HAD EXTM CCDs to guarantee exceptional picture quality. Familiar ergonomics, robust construction and reliable operation are key features of the DVW-970P.
The ability to select between 50i (interlaced) and 25P (progressive) recording provides additional creativity to the production team, allowing the optimum picture "look" to be selected for each production.
