DVCAM is the most compact professional digital video recording media yet. Sony's pure cobalt advanced evaporated coating with DLC(Diamond Like Carbon) protective layer delivers high output plus high reliability

DLC protective layer for extra durability

Sony's DLC (Diamond Like Coating) protective layer on the tape surface gives PDV series cassettes the durability demanded in professional applications. This wear resistance is critical, particularly for editing and still-mode play

High dimensional precision for compatability

Precision compatability is essential in a pro-format videocassette. Therefore, Sony uses an ultra-accurate slitting machine to assure correct tape width and a special process to reduce tape-shrinkage over time to about 1/2 that of consumer DV Tape

New Case specially designed for DVCAM use

The interior of the case has been designed with consideration for DVCAM's mobility, with a reel placement construction for firm strengthening and a new side lock to prevent accidental opening during transport. In the mini-cassette cases internal cushioning adds extra safety for newsgathering and possible mishandlings
