Digital-S format videocassette with 34 minutes of recording time
ATOMM technology brings a new standard of performance to Digital-S format systems, with ultra-high recording densities for superb sound and picture quality. Stability and durability are also exceptionally high, ensuring the day-in, day-out reliability that professional users demand.
Superior C/N ratio and error rate characteristics ensures high output; D421 tape features magnetic particles that are 20% smaller than those used on H471S (S-VHS) tapes. There is a a low error rate at all frequency levels.
Improved transport stability and durability are created by a new binder, backcoating and lubricant materials that assure superior transport stability and durability. The polymer binder has excellent adhesion characteristics to reduce the flaking and chipping that can occur during extended still and high-speed shuttle operations, and the backcoating material has a low friction coefficient for stable tape transport in all operating modes and environmental conditions. Lubricant is contained in both layers of the tape, ensuring that a constant level is maintained in the magnetic layer at all times.
There is improved long-term storage stability for valuable recordings. The ultra-fine metal magnetic particles in the magnetic layer are coated with an anti-oxidant. This prevents corrosion and oxidation, and ensures that magnetic performance characteristics and image quality remain high. In addition, carbon has been added to the lower layer to prevent static electricity build-up from attracting dropout-causing dust. The deformation-resistant base material further extends storage life by preventing the tape deformation which can result in track misalignment.
D421 videocassettes are constructed of highly-rigid, precision-built cassette halves and feature anti-static cassette lids that help shut out dropout-causing dust and dirt.
