Sony DVW-M2000 Digital Betacam Editor

This Digital Betacam Recorder/Player is the redesigned successor to the DVW-A500. It is 4 RU tall, weighs less, and consumes less power, gives longer head life, and includes composite analog video input as a standard feature. It will also play back all of Sony's 1/2 inch SD tape formats (Betacam, Betacam SP, Betacam SX, MPEG IMX and Digital Betacam).

Product Weight:  52.69 lbs
Dimensions:  16.88"W x 6.88"H x 21.5"D
