From the supplier: Sony Corp introduces the UVW Series Betacam SP videotape recorders (VTRs) and players. All four products offer A/B roll editing and multiple format VTR. All models include time code (TC) generation and reading, as well as correctors for time base functions. The UVW VTRs display user-friendly menus and streamlined controls. The UVW-1800 editing recorder/player does the most: inserts, two-audio channel recording, digital dropout compensation and numerous output and input options. The UVW-1600 editing player, UVW-1400 recorder/player, and UVW-1200 player are less powerful but still come with Betacam technology, which uses separate tracks for brightness and color to record and playback images. Betacam video images are better than those produced with composite recording technology.
