Sony 63 min Mini DVCam - Digital Master

Sony 63 min Mini DVCam - Digital Master Overview

DigitalMaster is Sony's highest quality 6mm video tape, engineered specifically for professional HDV projects, delivering superior video performance for HDV recording shot in Mini-DV or DVCAM format. The higher packing density afforded by second generation Advanced Metal Evaporated II (AME-II) technology, plus the application of dual magnetic active layers, result in 90% fewer errors and 30% less dropouts compared to DVCAM tape. High output and C/N ratio of 1.5 produce superb quality pictures.

DigitalMaster's strong performance also comes from an enforced Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that provides increased tape durability, with improved headwear and still frame characteristics. An advanced lubricant system reduces friction for optimum stability under a wide range of operating conditions. All of these attributes combine to produce a professional gold standard, ideal for high speed data transfer, HD editing, master recordings, rigorous outdoor applications where adverse temperature changes and humidity conditions rule.
