HDCAM Digital Cassettes incorporate Sony's advanced metal tape technology for use in the world's first HDCAM format camcorder. The development of this high performance metal tape enabled high density recording with a wavelength of 0.49um achieving a recording length of up to 40 minutes for the small-size cassette, and 124 minutes for the large-size cassette. (In 60i mode - longer in 24P mode)
Highlights
Setting a new standard in hight-density recording with ultra-fine magnetic particles 50% smaller than used in Digital Betacam yielding crisp HD images
Developed for multi-generation operations
Outstanding archive potential using specially developed Alumina-silica protective layer for the magnetic particles
Distinctive HDCAM cassette design with bright orange anti-static lid
