Betacam SP Blues

Pa napraj si sistem kako Scott Billups.
Go prochita PDF-ot ?

Eve izvadok bash za kamerata:

===========================================

Faced with a consistent long-term need for
D-Beta acquisition, I’ve built my own DBeta-
quality camera that I’ve used on nearly 
a hundred shows.

Without going into too much detail,
I took an old analog Betacam SP camera body
and lens that I got for $1500 total, upgraded the chipset for $800,
and routed the uncompressed, component RGB
signals into an $890 AJA D10A component
analog-to-serial-digital converter.

Back when the camera was new, the lens
was worth nearly $6000, but because it was
attached to an outdated system, it could be
had for pennies on the dollar. With the
addition of a $550 anamorphic adapter, the
signal that comes out the other side is
uncompressed serial digital widescreen
video. Does it compare with a $60,000 dollar
D-Beta system? In this case, yes.
Because the signal from my homemade
camera goes directly into the computer, it
bypasses both the compression and transposition
stages of a signal that gets recorded to
tape. 

The image that it creates has the same
resolution as D-Beta, but the pixels are a
little fatter and a little healthier. Most important, since it
cost so little to build, I’m not concerned when it
sits in the locker for a year while I work on motion
picture projects."
