Sony HDCAM SR BCT-94SRL
The most advanced metal particle tape in Sony's 1/2 broadcast family of professional tape products
Metal particles 50% smaller than HDCAM tape with improved magnetic characteristics yielding: 2X the output (6-7dB), 2.7X the recording density of HDCAM tape, and 3.3X the density of D5-HD tape
Tele-File label with IC memory built on cassette to capture content metadata
Specially designed locking album case with improved tape protection characteristics
By providing full bandwidth RGB, HDCAM SR helps bridge the gap between acquisition and Digital Intermediate workflows.
HDCAM SR's ability to store RGB images in real time, cost effectively and in a timely manner, will lead to higher quality composite effects and film to tape archiving.
The HDCAM SR contains metal particles that are approximately half the size of HDCAM allowing for a much higher density recording layer that provides an additional 6 dB of signal saturation.
Along with the higher density recording, the smaller particles allow the cassettes to capture recording wavelength to 0.29um representing the highest performance of metal tape in the broadcast family.
HDCAM SR has recording lengths up to 50 minutes for the small size cassette, and 155 minutes for the large cassette in 24P mode.
HDCAM SR utilizes the 4:4:4 capture. At 24P it will facilitate the highest quality transfers to motion picture film and support enhanced blue/green screen compositing and the creation of contemporary special effects. Using 4:4:4 RGB HDCAM SR uses no chroma subsampling, but instead yields more of the full bandwidth of the HDSDI signal.
Also called 94SR, formerly the BCT-94SRL/3 now the BCT-94SRL/4
HDCAM SR Recording Time ChartWhat is HDCAM SR? What is HDCAM SR?HDCAM was technology first introduced in 1997, which was essentially for Digital Betacam, but built in High Definition.This system used an eight-bit DCT and offered compressed 3:1:1 recording.It also had a resolution of 1440x1080, though the original codec used non-square pixels.The HDCAM SR was introduced in 2003 and was a higher particle density tape.What was the point of this?This superior tape was capable of recording in 10 bits 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 RGB.It also had a video bit rate of 440 Megabits and a total data rate of over 600 megabits.What was significant about HDCAM SR was that it gave users the option to capture more of the full bandwidth of the HDSDI signal, or the High Definition Serial Digi
