Terms like "Smart" and "BackUPS" are just branding, not tech specs. Either should be fine for video gear, including TBCs. Just not necessarily computers, which many desktops (the motherboards) require pure sine wave.

Not correct.

Correct. It just needs power safety.
That said, the older style UPS seem to be made less, and rising in price. While the new style (pure sine) is both easier to locate, and cheaper than it used to be. In general, and that usually includes
Amazon and
Newegg. My last unit (for TV, video gear) was pure sine wave, but only because it was cheaper. Go figure. Better, newer, and cheaper.
