The 63 min DigitalMaster Tape designed for HDV is the perfect partner for cameramen shooting on HD. This tape allows the best contents that can be done with the HD entry level cameras: HVR-Z1E or HVR-A1E.

• Designed for MiniDv, DVCAM and HDV camcorders, Digital Master tape is the only professional videotape with 2 active magnetic layers, improving carrier to noise ratio by 2.5db for 95% fewer errors and 60% fewer dropouts than consumer DV tape!
• A new AMEII metal evaporation technology has been used to improve the packing of grains inside the magnetic layer, increase tape retentivity (Br) and output as well as achieve better C/N and error ratios.
• Quality Control has been enhanced following a complete review of the production process, resulting in improved drop-out figures.
• By using a new method for creating the Diamond Like Carbon protective layer on the tape surface, a dramatic improvement in wear resistance has been achieved, resulting in reduced head wear.
• A new lubricant ensures low friction and reduced head stain. With superior stability, tape damage is minimised.
• Digital Master is also highly flexible and convenient media, enhancing compatibility between camcorder and VTR. It also offers a protective locking album case preventing accidental opening.
