Sony PDV-64N DVCAM Tape Datasheet

DVCAM™ / DV Tape
Don’t let dropouts
drop you.
Dropouts. Pixelation. Glitches. Hiccups.
Call them what you want, they can
play havoc with your productions.
Defend your productions -- and your
reputation -- with Sony® DVCAM
cassettes . Anyone can tell from a
glance of their rugged album cases,
this is not consumer media. So it’s no
surprise that the tape inside is also fully
professional.
• 50% fewer dropouts than consumer
DV tapes, due to Sony ’s Advance
Metal Evaporated (AME) technology.
You’ll see fewer of those annoying
blocks that destroy image integrity
and require additional editing and
workarounds in post.

• 30% stronger protective coating
compared to consumer DV tapes.
An advanced version of Sony’s
Diamond-Like Carbon layer protects
the signal, especially important
during Pause and Freeze Frame
operations.
• 50% less tape shrinkage than
consumer DV tapes, for superior
machine-to-machine compatibility.
DVCAM tape shrinks less during
shooting in varied temperatures and
stands up better to long-term storage.
That means more consistent tracking
and fewer playback problems.
• 16 kilobyte Memory IC (PDV-ME
models only) stores DVCAM
metadata including Good Shot
marks, Mark In/Mark Out time
code, reel number, scene number
and take number.
• Extended recording time up to 184
minutes in the Standard cassette
(DVCAM mode), up to 276
minutes (DV mode).
• Professional locking album base
resists opening when dropped or
tossed into an equipment bag.
• Tighter tolerances for width
compared to consumer DV tapes,
thanks to more precise slitting. That’s
another assurance of excellent
machine-to-machine compatibility.
