Studio video recorders, film scanners Panasonic

VCRs have come a long way from reel-to-reel and cassette tape media, but some aspects of them have not aged, especially the ergonomics of operation, which modern tapeless studio recorders - such as those from Blackmagic Design, Panasonic and Datavideo - adopt without major changes.

A diverse range of models are on sale, from the affordable Blackmagic Design HyperDeck or Datavideo HDR-90 series to the revolutionary Blackmagic Design Cintel film scanner for real-time scanning of 16/35mm film material.
