1. The entrance to the open MPEG world Ever since the launch of the Betacam system concept 20 years ago Sony half inch camcorders have set distinctive milestones in the evolution of news reporting and program production operations The analog Betacam and Betacam SP formats introduced a new freedom for mobile acquisition in ENG Electronic News Gathering and EFP Electronic Field Production and the Digital Betacam format was the subsequent innovation that brought true 4 2 2 digital recording into the field Today both analog and digital formats remain in service in virtually every type of program origination offering a level of reliability and performance that only Sony Betacam technology provides The wide acceptance of the Digital Betacam format paved the way to the subsequent development of a digital replacement for the analog Betacam format in the broadcast newsgathering world with the unique advantage of using MPEG technology for data rate efficiency and high quality video capture This was the Betacam SX format series equipment which is now known as the digital workborse for use in the arduous environment of ENG operations ass of Betacam SX gear used in ENG applications together with the advent of DTV and transmission was the motivation behind the development of a higher bit rate MPEG ML format Efor use in broadcast studio operations Through close collaboration between key facturers and research centers the prim
