BETACAM SX achieves 4:2:2 component digital recording and backward compatibility with BETACAM/BETACAM SP, also providing high interface ability with non-linear editing systems and video servers. It is gaining industry-wide attention as the next-generation ENG and production system. Maxell has employed its highly reliable tape production technologies and highly accurate cassette mechanism in the development of BETACAM SP and Digital BETACAM, and has now capitalized on those technologies in the development of BETACAM SX, a superior product unsurpassed in its reliability for ENG/EFP operations under various environmental conditions. |
 |
High Reliability and Durability
Maxell has employed fine Ceramic Armor Metal Particles and high-performance binder systems established from development of BETACAM SP. This has achieved superior reliability and durability under various ENG/EFP tape operating conditions and under extreme tape running modes during editing. |
|
Superior Storage Stability Characteristics
The combination of Maxell's original fine Ceramic Armor Metal Particles and high-performance binder systems allow superior heat-resistance and anti-oxidation characteristics. The addition of another unique process of minimizing tape shrinkage achieves superior stability characteristics suitable for long-term storage such as video archiving. |
|
Highly Accurate Cassette Mechanism
Maxell has employed a highly accurate cassette shell originally developed for Digital BETACAM to optimize smooth tape travel. Maxell's patented SW (Smooth Winding) reel with radial grooves molded on the lower flange emit most of the air generated during high-speed winding to minimize uneven tape winding. |
