This deck plays everything! It's a more compact and modern upgrade to the F500 and offers longer tape handling, more legacy playback, and studio mastering options than the HDW-S280. The Sony HCW-M2000 is the new work horse of the industry. This is the perfect deck to master your projects on.
Features:
• It plays every Sony pro format: HDCAM, Digital Betacam, Betacam/SP, Betacam SX, MPEG IMX. Records HD CAM at frame rates: 1080/23.98, 1080/24, 1080/59.94i, 50i, 29.97PsF, and 25 PsF (note: Pulldown output is not available in this model).
