Superb Performance for ENG and AFP.
Maxell’s DVP series metal particle videocassettes meet the stringent
specifications of the DVCPRO format and employ Maxell’s most advanced
technologies, including ceramic armoring of each metal particle. This
technique protects the particles from oxidation as well as from direct
sunlight and the heat encountered in recorders. It also allows the
magnetic layer of the tape to achieve energy levels as high as 9,500
gauss, which dramatically enhances image definition and reduces noise.
DVP series videocassettes also employ uniformly dispersed fillers in
the tape formulation. These fillers minimize head abrasion by reducing
friction between the head and the tape during high-speed head rotation
while also cleaning debris from the head. In addition, the tape’s binder
system is extremely durable, maintaining specified performance under
the ambient conditions present in hostile ENG/EFP shooting environments.
Other features include a large inspection window and a shell and
cover made of static-resistant resin that prevents attraction of dropout-
inducing dust and foreign particles.
