Sony HDW-D2000/20 HDCAM video tape recorder with CineAlta record feature and MPEG IMX and Digital Betacam playback

A recent enhancement to the HDW-D2000 HDCAM VTR has added CineAlta 24P recording for the first time. This enhanced model, the HDW-D2000/20, operates at the frame rates used for prestige and mainstream content creation and distribution. It offers HDCAM recording and playback at 1080/50i, 1080/59.94i, 1080/25P, 1080/29.97P, 1080/23.98P and 1080/24P.
The HDW-D2000/20 is ideal as part of an end-to-end HDCAM production chain. It also makes business sense even when post production and programme distribution remains at 625/50 standard definition. An inbuilt HD to SD downconverter provides a standard definition output from your high quality HDCAM original recordings. Compatible replay of MPEG IMX and Digital Betacam tapes also helps smooth your transition to the world of high definition.
