DXC-537P/PV1 Dockable Betacam
Beta SP is an obsolete professional tape format developed by Sony. It replaced the original "Betacam" format from the early 1980's, and was the industry standard in portable ENG and EFP for many years. It was superseded by digital formats such as Beta SX.
This camera is made up of four separate components, which can each be removed and replaced: The lens, the camera, the recorder adaptor, and the viewfinder.
