MillimeterTDK now shipping Pro Grade DVC media for HDV and DV camcorders
Sep 25, 2006 1:05 PM
TDK, a world leader in digital recording solutions, today announced that it has begun shipping Pro Grade DVC camcorder media, which the company is describing as the highest-performance media available for HDV and DV camcorders. Designed to digital master quality specifications, TDK Pro Grade DVC media features a two-layer tape structure with Dual Layer Metal Evaporation (DLME) and Hard Carbon Protective Layer (HCPL) technologies.
“With HD camcorders now available for less than two thousand dollars, HD video production is within the reach of all,” noted Sethu Palat, TDK director of marketing. “By incorporating the highest-quality tape and cartridge technologies, TDK Pro Grade DVC realizes the full performance potential of HDV camcorders, providing the lowest possible dropout and error rates combined with high output and durability.”
Dual Layer Metal Evaporation (DLME) and Hard Carbon Protective Layer (HCPL) technologies help make TDK Pro Grade DVC media the failsafe solution for capturing footage with an HDV or DV camcorder, according to TDK. The tape’s base layer provides an outstandingly uniform and stable foundation for the metal evaporated recording layer, thus realizing far fewer dropouts than other DVC media. Meanwhile, the Hard Carbon Protective Layer (HCPL) defends against scratches, friction, de-oxidation, and temperature/humidity. TDK's cartridge design offers superior durability and realizes an ultra-stable tape run, which further helps ensure bit-perfect recording and playback, according to the company. TDK Pro Grade DVC offers universal compatibility with HDV and DV camcorders.
TDK Pro Grade DVC offers 63-minute length and is ideally suited for capturing footage in superb-quality HD resolutions such as 1080i and 720p. Supplied in library cases that close securely, sealing out potential contaminants such as dust and liquids, TDK Pro Grade DVC comes fully equipped for shelf archival. Capture the world in new detail with TDK Pro Grade DVC media. TDK Pro Grade DVC media for HDV and DV camcorders is currently available.
