Sony PHDV124DM

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 95% 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.
