1990's Beijing, China B-Roll Footage (High Quality 60FPS Professional Sony Betacam NHK Video)

This is some Betacam b-roll footage taken in China and recorded on the professional Betacam format. Betacam was the professional brother of Betamax. Using the same tapes as standard Betamax, Betacam was able to record very high quality component (Y/Pb/Pr) video. It was very popular for on-location Electronic News Gathering (ENG) and for general television production that required portability. It was succeeded by Betacam SP. There is little known about this footage. It may have been shot by NHK in the late 90's (based on the "Un-Break My Heart" cover that plays in the clothes shop). It appears to have been shot at & around the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. Here we get to see a rare look at such attractions as Beihai Park and Tiananmen Square, along with shopping and general crowds of people in unusually high quality for the period. If this footage was used in any programs, let me know! ________________________________________________ This was played back using a Sony MSW-M2100 Betacam player. This is a REELY EXCLUSIVE upload! This footage is from the only known master recording. ________________________________________________ If you want to follow me for updates or want to help me afford to import a Chinese hotdog, please click the link below: https://linktr.ee/OpWorkshop
