Loved those old Sony jog-shuttle dials, they really took a beating sometimes but kept on doing their thing.

How many generations of copies could you make with those analog Betacam recorders without seeing any significant image degradation?

[@mikecumbo7531]

Betacam came out first, then came Betacam SP. The answer is it depends. You could use either composite video or component video. Component would give you maybe two extra generators. With composite we could get three or four generations before picture quality got too bad. This is using Beta SP for remote sports production.
