For Use in a Wide Range of
Applications, from Transmission
to HD ENG/EFP.
The new B-HD series 1/2" metal particulate tape cassette incorporates
superfine ceramic armor metal particles (0.1 micron size) to achieve
an exceptional output level and surpass the low-noise requirements of
HDCAM’s 7-to-1 compression algorithm.
Utilizing Maxell’s superior ultrahigh performance binder systems,
the new B-HD series cassettes achieve the exceptional durability
essential to resilience in the volatile environments of ENG/EFP
recordings, while exceeding the compulsory storage performance
demands of long-term archives.
