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

Oh no! this is the Betacam chat page I am sleep

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:

https://printable-classific.000webhostapp.com/TBC-25-1.PNG

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

I put the message in other page because here not works

https://printable-classific.000webhostapp.com/Message.htm

Ok Roderick in this page say that the error 93-000 is Servo reference sync signal cannot be detected

But is rare that this error only appears with signals from vhs and Betamax

and not with a dvd and dvb composite video outputs

You or somebody that has a Betacam video can connect a vhs or Betamax to Betacam for see if appears this error?

David,

There is a problem with the reference sync. Can be many causes, you'll need to get a copy of the service manual.

Here's a link to the error codes for the machine: http://www.betaservice.ru/repair/errorcodes/er_uvw1xxx.htm

I have the Sony UVW-1800P and when I connect in the composite video input a video VHS or Betamax and the video composite output (Super) to tv appears the message "Not is a standard signal" and the error code 93-000

The image appears with horizontal lines tremble only the colour

I connected the Reference video input, is the same of the composite video input

These videos vhs and Betamax works good if I connect to the tv direct

If I connect a tdt or dvd signal to the Betacam composite input it works good

All the videos and the tv are PAL

Is normal that happen this?

Venca,

Because these things can get very complicated, best thing to do is download the service manual from the link I listed.

That will give you some idea what the problem is and you can then decide if you can fix it yourself or if you need professional help.

Let us know how you go.

Roderick gute idee, defective display

right defect 92

how to continue?

Hey guys, very new to this. I have a BVV-5 VTR and a couple tapes I want to watch for it. The only problem is, right now I can either buy a playback adapter, which would cost me and I dont have another power supply, or I could buy and actual unit, such as the BVW-75 or a UVW-1800 but those are also extremely expensive for my budget. Is there a way to get any signal out of the PB adapter or is that a no-go?

Venca, it looks like a rebadged Sony DVW-500 DigiBeta machine.

The strange thing is, there is actually no 'Error 52' but there is an 'Error 92'. Could it be that the display is faulty?

Best way to find out is to connect a monitor to Video Output Composite 3. That will show more information about the error.

Here is a link to a service manual: http://diagramasde.com/diagramas/otros2/dvw-a500p1.pdf

I cheaply bought my first digital betacam on the stock exchange. TTV3452P

tested with an analog cassette. I do not have digital.

image and sound are functional

error 52 you do not know what it is like for an error.

apology, my bad English

Melhor para postar perguntas em Inglês, não muitos Protugese é falado por aqui ....

O Google Tradutor é muito útil: https://translate.google.com

E a HF950 é uma máquina BetaMAX, não uma BetaCAM, a melhor para postar no fórum certo.

Boa tarde.O meu Sony SL-HF950 morreu.Liga,mas só apresenta algumas funções atraves do leds acesos,não funciona o display e não abre a gaveta,e da ultima vez,abriu,e fechou sem mexer e mascou a fita toda da cassete.Terá acabado de vez? Preciso de ajuda!

Parts for 2800 going cheap,don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Have two working dvw500p,one with sp playback,the other without,fully working ,want to exchange for two working sx recorders,PAL only

for disposal,2800 in pieces,offers

Does anyone have any EPK's from older movies? Back in the 90's, I believe they were all on U-Matic or Betacam. Was looking to see if anyone had any leads on them.
