The DVCPRO the world’s smallest digital videocassette for broadcasting - it also offers superior image quality. Maxell developed DVCPRO videocassettes using exclusive tape technologies aimed at professional broadcasting applications to enhance the high reliability and durability of these products. Maxell developed 0.1um new Ceramic Armor Metal Particles to achieve even higher magnetic energy, and employed a new calendaring technology to optimize tape surface smoothness. The result improved short wavelength output, decreased noise, and minimized spacing loss with the head. High output is also achieved together with a superior binder that ensures long-term reliability and excellent lubrication performance which even after repeated use maintains a low error rate. Uniformly dispersed fillers within the tape formulation clean debris from the heads and minimize the head abrasion by reducing friction between the head and tape during the high speed rotating head scanner. Maxell’s special binder system ensures long-term durability when the tape is used in extreme ENG/EFP environments and demanding editing and playback modes such as still and shuttle.
