hello,

I have a dvw500 is it possible that the auto rewind after tape end is disabled

So that the tape is not rewinding any more

I know that the DVW 2000 this option has.

thanks for the help

regards Michel

Karkera also of the service manual is necessary a sine wave generator, a oscilloscope, a voltimeter and perhaps more instruments

Dear michel de jong,

Regarding the Audio problem there could be audio circuit problems in AU boards or misalignment of audio heads(in that case your tape will show a folded dent on either top or bottom) if tape is fine then it's the AU BOARDS just in front after the RF boards..as a first aid just remove these AU boards by pulling up and reinserting the same back,if problem persists then you need to troubleshoot with extension board and service manuals if you are competent enough. If you need service manual it's on net. Best regards

I'm no expert, but I believe most Betacam machines that accept large tapes will also accept the small tapes directly. No adaptor necessary. Just slot the smaller tape into the machine in the centre of the loading slot.

Hello all, hoping I can get some advice here please? I have a number of betacam tapes both large and small, and a betacam player BUT how do I get the small tapes to play on it? Do I need some sort of converter/holder? I've inherited the collection as part of an archive donation, and want to be able to play them, and then convert to a different format. Thanks everyone.

Hi,

This is kind of an urgent SOS for my Sony UVW-1800 Betacam SP deck. I bought this one on eBay strictly for the purpose of transferring old TV studio Betacam tapes to dvd, before they disintegrate. I am about to return it as defective unless someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong: So far my experience with video equipment has only been VCR's and DVD recorders, so to me Betacam SP is a new animal. I'm attempting to copy tapes using the s-video output and the stereo XLR audio outputs. Audio sounds great, but for video I just get a flickering orange screen. I tried connecting to the s-video input of a dvd recorder, a vcr, and also direct to a test monitor. Same orange screen and no video signal. I tried a couple of different tapes, and a few different cables. The UVW-1800 was advertised as tested and working perfectly. It looks like new and only has 302 hrs on the drum. It loads, ejects, plays, rewinds, fast forwards perfectly. So that's why I'm thinking it's something I'm doing (or not doing). I don't have the right cables to copy using the BNC component video outputs, so I can't test that way. But s-video should work, shouldn't it? The seller told me he tested the s-video. I asked exactly how he tested, have not yet received a reply. The thing weighs like 100 pounds so I'd rather not have to return it. But I only have a few more days to test before my return time period expires. Please tell me it's just something stupid that I haven't thought of! Thanks in advance for any help. ---Erroll

I have the Sony UVW-1800P

The part of the problem is where are the converts Y and B-Y R-Y (CTDM) to digital and after analogic output of the video

The problem is in the Y output, composite video and S video (these use the same Y) has the lines moving as out of sync the B-Y and R-Y run correct I saw in my oscilloscope

I put a image:

I have other UVW-1800P without Y in the output of the video

is same of the output of A/D D/A

This a frequent problem?

Hello,

I am new in a "Betacam technology" and I tried digitized some Betacam SP tapes..result is visually good, but I have some problem with stability of picture (lines) and I don't know if it is normal for this technology or I am doing something wrong.

I tried two players DVW-A510P and HDW-M2000, recorded via SDI (Blackmagic shuttle) but same result.

Here is a sample what I am meaning:

https://yadi.sk/i/foLKzoulu0YK0g

Will be same result with SP players?

Thank you for any idea or information about it

I was seeing the overall schema from the Sony BVW-50P and in the dub output exist the Y, B-Y, R-Y and also the Y direct from de demodulator in 1 wire and the B-Y and R-Y direct from de demodulator in only 1 wire CTDM

These 5 signals are in all videos with dub inputs and outpus?

The dub has more quality that the BNC outputs?

I put a page from the overall:

https://printable-classific.000webhostapp.com/sony bvw-50 overall.pdf

I could extract the pdf pages:

https://printable-classific.000webhostapp.com/40.pdf

https://printable-classific.000webhostapp.com/41.pdf

https://printable-classific.000webhostapp.com/42.pdf

I have Betacam Digital, IMX and HDcam new cheap I can send to worldwide

Roderick I found a pdf with info of the tapes, I convert to image because is protected:

https://printable-classific.000webhostapp.com/Tapes.PNG

I open the tabs in the 3 tapes, I record 1 minute and play correct

I put scotch tape in the hole 15 and 12, the betacam SP has the 2 and 3 opened and the 4 and 6 closed

David,

The UVW-1800 is a very finicky machine that only likes Betacam SP.

There is a 99% change it will just spit out the tapes...

Hello, can I use these tapes in the Sony UVW-1800P?

DIGITAL BETACAM METAL PARTICLE

MPEGIMX

HDCAM CERAMIC ARMOR METAL PARTICLE

All has similar of the Betacam SP big but with differents holes for the detector, perhaps if I make the correct holes works good
