After my posting last week
I have learned that digi-betacam is being replaced with
HD (High definition) or something called "24p". As I understand it, 24p will
be a universal mastering standard for video for some time to come.
It will be very expensive initially, but must be considered for archive
digitisation projects. It uses a different scanning technique called
progressive scanning (hence the 'p'). Another of the features of Sony's new
24p machines is the ability to handle metadata.
