Maxell PDRE23SL 23.3 Gigabyte Hard Disk Recording Medium
The Maxell PDRE23SL is a professional hard disk recording medium for the XDCAM series of camcorders. This product provides 23.3 gigabytes of storage, a blazingly fast transfer 72Mbps per head, 144Mbps with two heads, and superior durability realized through an advanced cartridge and coating design. It's an ideal solution for EFP, ENG, and event shooters due to its 122 min. record/playback time in the HD format (MPEG HD LP mode), 65 min. in the HD format (MPEG HD HQ mode), 45 minutes at 50Mbps in the SD format (MPEG IMX mode), and 85 min. in the SD format (DVCAM mode).
- 23.3GB Capacity

- Laser-Cutting-Control Technology
