Sony BVH-3100 Demo

Apologies for the washed out looking picture on the domestic TV monitor. The BVH3100 has a stunning picture but unfortunately the room was too dark!

[@vajiraperera1570]

Fascinating to see an one inch recorder in operation. I felt nostalgic as I use to repair these long time ago. Thanks for preserving these and sharing.

ヤバ過ぎる高性能マシンだゎ日本のビデオの歴史に残る名作は、テレビの音声多重放送に貢献しました。

[@ResilientCounty]

I love that deceleration sound. I instantly feel the urge to flip the switch to remote and hand control over to my editor.

It is hard to find today (in 2013) Sony BVH-3100 in a good working condition ! Nice video !

[@spacehopper999]

These machines are composite only, but, as others have commented, still have such a stunning picture.

[@dolbyvixen]

First actual song clip is "Change" by Tears for Fears. Song suits the occasion just fine!

[@spacehopper999]

Spot on crispygeorge! It makes a good demo tape. If only I managed to get a good shot of the TV to prove it! Thanks for the comments, keep them coming in...

Awesome! Great to see a working air-thread system. Thanks for posting :-)

[@djspock]

Those are some pretty amazing shuttle speeds.

[@mbvideoselection]

I never knew a 1" machine could maintain such a steady picture at full-throttle wind speeds. I'd have expected it to crumble into almost total noise.

[@joonglegamer9898]

Despite having the best of the best in digital systems, I want this so badly....!

[@moo883jp]

Great Video ! BVH-3000 series 's air thredding. I did usually manual thredding many times, so manual was earlier than automatic air thredding in old time : ) And adjusting SCH after play that brings back my memories .

[@NuGanjaTron]

Wow, impeccable still and slo-mo. 1" r00lz! Nice vectorscope, btw. ;^)

[@rty1955]

Its not a vectorscope. Its a waveform monitor

[@SilentDrapeRunner]

Wonderful machine. I wish I had one!

[@THEMINDSHAFT]

I have one in perfect working order. Fantastic deck!

[@THEMINDSHAFT]

Have a fully functional BVH-3100. For SD, it can't be beat! :p

[@falseprophet1972]

There's a very good chance that I made that recording if it's got a VANDERQUEST label on it ! omg I was just showing my 14 year old what machines I used to use.........
