The Digital Betacam format records a DCT-compressed component video signal at 10-bit YUV 4:2:2 sampling in PAL (720×576) or NTSC (720×486) resolutions at a bitrate of 90 Mbit/s plus 4 channels of uncompressed 48 kHz PCM-encoded audio. A 5th audio track is available for cueing, and a linear timecode track is also used on the tape.

Features:
	Sony's binder and new calendering system make possible +2dB higher output compared to Betacam SP tape. Advanced narrow tracking technology and low-shrinkage tape technology promote compatibility between recorders for smooth editing and post-archival playback. Specially developed lubricant increases head contact and reduces headwear. An anti-static cassette lid prevents dust attraction.
