BETACAM
Betacam was an industry-standard tape format for electronic news gathering (ENG)
While there is limited demand for this type of tape (and it is commonly confused with Betamax - see below), Southern Digital Services can assist with converting your analog Betacam / Betacam SP and Digital Betacam tapes to a modern video file
