Sherwood, I have only seen the Sony VO-9850 SP used for industrial video. The BVU-950 is the usual choice for broadcast. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Kevin, The only caveat I can offer on the 9850 is that it is not constructed in a heavy duty configuration, it is basically an SP version of the venerable 5850, but even more lightweight. It ought to work okay mostly, just don't expect it to last as long as a 950 or produce as clean an output. Bruce

Bruce, Oh, the 9850 works ok for animation, I just don't think the quality is really good enough for broadcast, and CERTAINLY don't think Sherwood should spend money for one. He should be out getting a decent deck, or the LVR/LVS. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Kevin, I agree, 9850, only if he can't afford better. Bruce

I used that deck for my demo-tape but I agree with Kevin that it's probably not up to snuff for broadcast work. I used it for cable commercials, too, where 3/4" SP is considered standard.
