(borrowing my reply to another similar question below)

It's a Sony BETACAM SP deck. The name "BetaCam" makes it sound like the old consumer-level BetaMax stuff, but this is a professional-grade videotape deck of the type that most TV shows were played back from for broadcast during the pre-high-def era. My wife worked in TV production back in the 90's, so we picked this deck (and the Sony display) up from a small production company - I use the display for retro gaming, and she'll use the BETACAM deck to digitize her old work. Win/Win!

>!He ends up getting shot by Kidman I think due to some Ruvik mind-fuckery. The first game implies he died from that, but Kidman reveals in The Evil Within 2 that Joseph actually survived the events of the first game (she'll say it if you collect all the projector slides).!<

Good eye! It's a Sony PVM 20M2U which formerly lived in the edit bay of a small TV commercial production company in central California. When they dumped all their pre-High Def gear, I bought it and made it a centerpiece of my retro gaming setup at home. Amazing display!
