Sony PVW 2800P

Well, there’s nothing “digital” about BetaCam SP.

Don’t know why there’d be a need to include SDI Ins & Outs on this somewhat old analog deck.

Can’t find any info that suggests SDI is possible with this deck.

SDI is found on DIGIBETA decks, not beta. So you can capture beta if played back on a digibeta deck, but not record to beta, as digibeta decks only record digibeta, not beta.

Yes i also confused about this. And in the front pannel it shows a SFI video input selection along with Component and composite. Whats this SFI????

Thanx for ur replay

Contact your reseller and find out what it is. It’s obviously not SDI because that’s an analog machine so it won’t accept a digital input. It might OUTPUT SDI like my J3 model does, but it won’t accept a digital input.

Are you sure it’s not S-Video? My old UVW-1800 machine accepts Component, Composite and S-Video. Is there an S-Video spigot on the back of the machine under Video Input?

SONY PVW-2800 BetacamSP has 3 switchable positions on the INPUT SELECT: Y-R,B (which is component analog), COMPOSITE and S-VIDEO.

I seen dozens of these machines over the years and never heard of or seen ‘SFI’.
