"Enregistrement vidéo sur DVCAM, VHS ou S-VHS ou beta SP ou NUM (en option)"
Could I say DVR for NUM? |
| | | (Beta) NUM | Explanation:
Because Beta SP and Beta Num are both trademarks and therefore proper nouns (like the term DVD itself), they should be left in the original. If you translate them, people ordering the media may end up ordering the wrong format. |

Betacam . Widely-used, high-quality videotape format: a professional equivalent of the familiar domestic VHS format. Betacam SP was the dominant format in broadcast TV production, though it has now largely given way to digital production, often on Digital Betacam - "Digi Beta" - see appendix on technical standards. Betacam's long dominance for broadcast work continues, though in the non-broadcast world the excellent quality and lower costs of other formats including DVCPro, DVCam, D9 (Digital S), and even domestic DV pose a threat …
… Digital Betacam - 1/2" component from Sony, using 2:1 data compression. The dominant format. Digi Beta machines can play back earlier Betacam formats, so that archive footage can easily be incorporated into current production. …
… Traditional analogue production systems are currently being replaced by digital systems, though organisations with large investments in analogue equipment will no doubt keep it running as long as possible. Of the main analogue systems, only Betacam SP retains a significant place in the production sector.
Betacam SP (component): Once dominant for broadcast both for production and as an edit format, and still widely used for promotional video programmes. Broadcast quality in its original "BVW" version, though to extend its dominance Sony introduced two lower cost variants, known as PVW and UVW.
