To achieve recording at levels of density at 7.5m2/bit required for the Digital BETACAM format, Maxell brought together its extensive expertise in developing advanced metal tape technology and cassette mechanisms for professional broadcasting applications. The result: Maxell Digital BETACAM videocassettes for high-density component digital recording. |
 |
Maximum Performance
Thanks to Maxell’s exclusive Multi-Orientation Technology and advanced dispersion systems, our high output Ceramic Armor Metal Particles reach their full energy potential, improving the tape’s C/N ratio a full 2dB more than our popular BETACAM SP tape. In addition, the Particles’ tough Ceramic Armor coating ensures that output stays high because it protects against energy-dissipating heat, oxidation and corrosion. |
|
High Durability Design
The combination of Ceramic Armor Metal Particles and Maxell’s special high strength binder makes a major contribution to increasing the tape’s rigidity—a factor that maximizes tape durability in demanding playback modes such as shuttle and still as well as improving compatibility with archiving and post-archival playback. Long-term reliability is raised even higher by the videocassette’s dust, heat and shock-resistant high electro-conductivity shell. |
|
Self-Cleaning Technology
Advanced filler dispersion technology, used for Maxell’s D-2 digital videocassette, keeps the head surface clean. |
|
Smooth Tape Travel
The backcoating used in Maxell’s new “Digital BETACAM” tape has been carefully designed to optimize smooth tape travel. What’s more, Maxell’s patented SW (Smooth Winding) reel makes a major contribution to reducing tape degradation because it delivers unmatched packing of the tape, especially in high-speed shuttle modes. |
