Sony J-30SDI Player for Betacam, Beta SP, Beta SX, Digi-Beta and MPEG/IMX, includes SDI and FireWire Outputs


Availability: listing already sold

Listing description

The J-30SDI is a video tape player only for the entire range of Betacam-derived ½-inch formats. Those formats include Betacam, Beta SP, Beta SX, MPEG/IMX and Digital Betacam. The players work with both NTSC and PAL recorded elements. To fit into modern edit suites and production facilities, the unit outputs iLink which is Sony's version of FireWire, along with uncompressed SDI video for the highest quality standard definition video available.

Digital Video Outputs Even From Analog Source Material

Just because the production world has almost completely gone digital (film productions does still exist) doesn't mean that analog source video is obsolete. The J-30SDI takes Beta Oxide and SP analog recordings and outputs them via either FireWire or SDI, depending on what your NLE system can accept. The remaining Beta formats remain digital at all times. The machine also outputs time-code signals independently for the analog formats.

Audio Output

The J-30SDI can access all 4 channels of audio native to the 1/2-inch Beta family of professional formats. The user may select any 2 at one time, channel 1 or 2, and channel 3 or 4. These selections control the headphone output also.

UAE’s only one-stop shop for used and refurbished broadcasting equipment. Home to the only inventory of used, refurbished and demo equipment in the Middle East, we buy and sell high-quality used broadcast and AV equipment to radio and TV customers primarily in the Gulf as well as other parts of the word.

We source our equipment from premier broadcasters in the region and employ an efficient team of engineers to refurbish and service the gear we have acquired before selling them. All used broadcast equipment comes with a three-month warranty.

We have successfully provided integrated solutions and equipment to end users in U.AE, Egypt, India, Jordan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Philippines and Turkey.

Having established a firm foothold in the Middle East and Asia, BSBroadcast is constantly looking to extend its portfolio of equipment and solutions through partnerships with leading European and American used equipment dealers

The Ceo, who has worked in MENA region to build broadcast facilities from scratch, established BS Broadcast in 2016. On this journey, the CEO identified a need among customers for revamped and restored equipment at lower costs. Additionally, he has been active in the Middle East and South Asian broadcasting industry since 1999 and has developed a vast network of contacts that came with requirements for used equipment.

In essence, the company was born out of these demands and presently serves customers worldwide. Having a base in the UAE has helped facilitate easy shipment across the globe.

Our inventory includes an extensive range of 3G/HD/SD equipment including playout servers, satellite antennae and terminals, RF modulators, frequency converters, multiplexers, HPA, SPG, waveform monitors, up-converters, routers and switchers, and more from the world’s leading manufacturers.

Whether rotating out your existing equipment, or clearing out your storage area, bsbroadcast.com can assist you in securing maximum value for your investments. Should you want a quote for your used systems cameras, broadcast lenses, mixers or SR decks, please contact our trade sales team.
