The Maxell HDCAM videotape has attained HDTV recording by increasing recording density to 1.4 times more than the Digital BETACAM format, offering superior quality digital HD picture for a wide range of applications from transmission to HD ENG/EFP which is enabled by its high mobility compact cassette size. |
 |
Low Error Rate
Compared to Digital BETACAM, HDCAM employs even finer 0.1m new Ceramic Armor Metal Particles. Combining it with Maxell’s unique Multi-Orientation Technology to effectively utilize its high magnetic energy, Maxell has achieved remarkably high output and low noise HDCAM videotape. Low error rate is also reached by achieving superior C/N characteristics. |
|
Superior Durability
Magnetic coating layer strength is remarkably improved by the fine Ceramic Armor Metal Particles and high-performance three-dimensional cross-linking binder systems. This has allowed superior reliability and durability of the tape during acquisition in extreme environmental conditions (ENG/EFP) and editing operations where long-term still modes are frequently used. The low error rate characteristic is maintained under various operational conditions. |
|
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. |
