I owned this VTR from its first day of use. It was used in combination with our Sony HDW-750p camcorder. I am selling the camcorder and our deliveries are now completely file based so I do not have any use of the VTR anymore. It was so rarely used in the last two years that I decided to sell it.
There is still a lot of life on the first head since Sony HD heads are good for 5000 hours.

HDCAM format

Built in Down Conversion
1080i HD recordings can be simultaneously output in Standard Definition; HD material can be used in today's standard definition environments; SD output allows selection from squeeze, letterbox, and edge crop modes.
Metadata Handling
Ancillary date can be recorded in a dedicated portion of the vertical interval; this "metadata" can be used for user-defined data. Can also record UMID (Unique Material Identifier Data) as part of the Metadata stream.
Pre-Read Editing
Allows applications such as titling with a single VTR or A/B roll with just two VTRs.
Telefile System
This VTR is equipped with Sony's Tele-File system allowing the VTR to read the data directly from a Tele-File label attached to the video cassette; the labels allow easy cataloging of information about the video, including shot marks, scene numbers, and script information.
