In the Mavs office there has been an old Ikegami HL-V55 Betacam just sitting around for years. Knowing that this years City Edition jersey was going to be throwing back to the start of the Mavs, I wanted to see if I could fire up this old camera and shoot some 4:3 video. Are there fantastic filters out there that can replicate Betacam footage? Yes. But that’s not as fun. Plus it’s been enlightening to use older gear. It makes me appreciate the advances we have now. Shoutout to @jonathan.j.lim for the edit here. Also you can see snippets of this camera in the main Retroplex video made by @andremrobinson over on the Mavs YouTube page.
