Perry Paolantonio Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Looking to convert s16 to digital betacam. Just curious - why go to digital betacam these days? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted February 18, 2015 Site Sponsor Share Posted February 18, 2015 ^What Perry said. Digital Beta is a dead format, as is almost all tape with the exception of HdCamSR and that is not long for this world either. A USB3.0 drive and a HD or 2k etc. data scan can be converted into any lower res format and be used on any modern computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk DeJonghe Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yesterday I had a request from a film school to do a transfer to DVCam. They receive Quicktime ProRes files from us since years. I think they want to show the 'old' way to students?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Lester Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It hasn't been so long since the Documentary Channel folded, and they always wanted submissions on DigiBeta. I would guess some outlets still use it today, at least on the academic and local levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve waschka Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Because I own, along with several other cameras, broadcast editing controllers and support equipment, the following: bvw-d600ws, sdx900, bvw-75, dvw-a500, teranex xantus. And If I am finishing on dvd precompressing with starfront the results are quite good. And everytime I dump onto my black magic deck and start using my macbook pro the result is a glitchy product with less than professional looking transitions. I am not not in anyway suggesting that you guys get the same results with yours. I am going to work with Continental Film labs in Miami. I visited their facility and they were very helpful.
