The Sony
PDVM63DM replaces the Sony PDVM-40DM (Digital Master)
Designed for any Mini-DV, DVCAMTM,
or HDV camcorders, DigitalMasterTM
tape is far from ordinary. It's the only professional video-tape with not one,
but two active magnetic layers, for 90% fewer errors than consumer DV tape.
Because video error correction is so good, errors are sneaky. Even as the errors
accumulate, you'll think you're fine. Your first sign of trouble can be a
dropout that can break up the image on a one-of-a-kind take. Your risk is even
greater if the tape will undergo such adverse conditions as dusty or smoky
environments, temperature and humidity changes, repeated playback or extended
time in pause mode. So why risk it at all? When it comes to your vision, demand
DigitalMaster tape.
DigitalMASTER™ is Sony's highest quality tape
for professional projects show in Mini DV or DVCAM format. Sony has taken
this superior tape and improved it even further.
THE ONLY PRO TAPE WITH NOT ONE BUT TWO ACTIVE
MAGNETIC LAYERS. Improves Carrier-to-Noise Ratio by 2 db for 90% fewer errors,
and 50% fewer dropouts than consumer DV tape!
- 90% FEWER GLITCH-INDUCING ERRORS. Compared
to consumer DV tape. So your productions are protected.
- 50% FEWER DROPOUTS. Compared to consumer
DV tape. Visible dropouts can ruin a take; a potential disaster that may
require you to re-shoot, settle for the second-best take, or spend extra
time and money to fix in post. DigitalMaster tape protects you better.
- TOUGHER TAPE. Compared to - consumer DV
tape, DigitalMaster tape has 30% more protective Diamond Like Carbon (DLC)
coating. So DigitalMaster tape stands up to abuse where consumer DV tape
begins to show picture disturbances.
- BETTER WHATEVER THE WEATHER. DigitalMaster
tape stands up better through temperature/humidity variations and long-term
archival storage. Shrinkage is reduced 50% compared to consumer DV tape.
- GREATER COMPATIBILITY FROM CAMCORDER TO
VTR. DigitalMaster tape maintains width dimensional tolerances twice as well
as consumer DV tape. This means greater compatibility from
machine-to-machine.
- REPELS DUST. Sony's anti-static cassette
lid helps keep dust and dirt away from your work.
- PROTECTIVE LOCKING ALBUM CASE. Because
Sony's professional-grade album case securely locks tight, it resists
accidentally opening when dropped or jumbled around in an equipment bag,
compared to the non-locking consumer DV case.
Run time 41 minutes in DVCAM, 63 minutes in HDV
or DV.
