ABSTRACT
Switchable formats: There are digital Betacam and Betacam SX models which allow 16:9/4:3 switchable aspect ratio. The design of the chip will either favour 16:9 or 4:3 CCD (see Dual format cameras, page 46), and in the digital Betacam the chip favours 16:9 working. The viewfinder aspect ratio is automatically switched when the camera is switched between 16:9 and 4:3 modes of operation and separate detail correction files for 16:9 and 4:3 can also be stored.
