Overview
The MSW-A2000/A2000P/M2000/M2000P/M2000E/
M2000EP/2000 are digital videocassette recorders
based on the MPEG IMX format, and the MSWM2100/M2100P/M2100E/M2100EP are digital
videocassette players based on the MPEG IMX format.
Each unit uses large scale integrated circuits for signal
processing, and has a simple internal construction,
allowing it to provide functionality at least equivalent
to a conventional VTR in a compact (4U size),
lightweight, and low power consumption design.
The MSW-A2000/A2000P/M2000/M2000P/M2000E/
M2000EP/2000 not only offer recording and playback
in MPEG IMX format, but can also play back tapes
recorded in Betacam SX format, analog Betacam
format, or Digital Betacam format.
The MSW-M2100/M2100P/M2100E/M2100EP not
only offer playback in MPEG IMX format, but can
also play back tapes recorded in Betacam SX format,
analog Betacam format, or Digital Betacam format.
