Sony model nomenclature
How does Sony name their cameras. XDCAM, HVR, DSR, PDW, HVR, DNW, PMW.
Thanks |

Ivan, I think you just earned a stickie for that one! This may get moved to a more visible location in the future.

And for those of us that have been around Sony video machines forever, you can't forget:
BVH-xxx 1" machines (I still have my portable BVH-500) BVU-xxx 3/4" U-Matic machines |

One small correction - the PVW Beta SP decks were "Professional series" not broadcast series. The Broadcast decks were the same as the cameras: BVW.
The main differences: BVW included 4 channel audio (via 2 FM tracks for 3 and 4 embedded in the video signal), a broadcast quality TBC and a higher signal to noise ratio spec on the video heads. The BVW-75 also featured slo motion (DT) heads for real time slomo playback. Ampex also brand labelled Sony BVW 70's and 75s with the nomenclature CVR-XX. |

Just in case anyone still cares, we should note that HDR is for the consumer HDV series.
And we should probably also note the suffixes. There are probably more, but the ones I know are: U = US NTSC E = Europe PAL P = Pacific PAL C = China (PAL?) J = Japan NTSC Someone with more knowledge than I may wish to weigh in on this... |
