D-2


  D-2 videocassettes offer a low error rate, extend the life of VTR heads, and minimize unevenness in tape winding, even at high speed. Their reliability and performance are superior, even under extreme usage conditions.

Low Error Rate
Low error rate is essential for digital videocassettes. Maxell’s advanced tape technologies including exclusive Ceramic Armor Metal Particles, high-performance binder system and adoption of smooth base film, together with dust-free production facilities and a strict quality control system, all contribute to the tape’s low error rate and minimized dropout.

High Reliability and Durability
Magnetic coating layer strength is dramatically improved by a 2-3nm-thick layer of Ceramic Armor Metal Particles enhancing physical strength and anti-oxidation characteristics, as well as a high-performance three-dimensional cross-linking binder system. A high-precision shell mechanism adds to the tape’s superior reliability and durability, especially under extreme conditions, such as those of electronic editing operations.

For Longer VTR Head Life
Uniform dispersion of aluminum maintains high coating strength and reduces tape friction, thereby extending the life of VTR heads.
