Betacam SP camera test (Sony BVW 400)

Shot with Sony BVW 400 in 50i, onto an analog tape. Captured from a PVW 2800 deck with Sony DSR 170p (S-Video connection) to 50i DV AVI and deinterlaced to 50p (double PAL). The master is upscaled to 960 x 720 50p and rendered in mp4 AVC 5.4 Mbps. Unfortunately the digitalization reduced the video quality dramatically. The mp4 compression artifacts are also visible; not mentioning the Youtube compression... After all, the crisp original image is converted into a lo-res, blurry mess...
