Early 1990's Osaka Japan B-Roll Footage (High Quality 60FPS Professional Sony Betacam NHK Video)

This is some Betacam b-roll footage taken in Japan 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 very early 90's and used for their "BS Classical" program that was focused on classical music & was broadcast over satellite.

It appears to have been shot in Osaka, Japan "around the Yodoya Bridge that connects Nakanoshima (island where city government offices are located) to the central Osaka business district to the south." (Thanks, Reddit user u/Yesterday_Is_Now for the deets!)

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.
