Panasonic Broadcast & Television Systems Company announced the introduction of the AY-HDVM63MQ Master Quality tape. Engineered for Professional Master-Quality HDV & DV Recording Applications.

Developed for the current economically stressed market, this flexible media provides unprecedented performance for HDV 1080i, HDV 720p & DV SP Mode (10ìm track width), and/or HDV 720p / DV LP Mode (6.67ìm track width) recording:

High Output Level
Panasonic’s proprietary AME (Advanced Metal Evaporation) technology yields a tape with higher magnetic density, providing +1dB higher output vs. the competition.

Low Dropout & Low Error Rate
Experience fewer dropouts & less errors with MQ.

Rugged Reliability & Durability / Preventative Against Head Clogging
Panasonic’s hybrid Dry-Type Lubricant technology & Thick DLC Diamond-Like Carbon Film development dramatically boost durability for high speed shuttling, still-frame & professional editing. A surface treatment process further reduces the chance of a head clog, while keeping output high & bit error rate low.

Long Head Life
With Panasonic’s proprietary Dry-Type Lubricant, video head wear is much lower than with other brands. Less head wear means using MQ can extend head life over that of the competition.

ABS Resin Cassette
Rugged ABS resin shell construction prevents warpage and cassette housing damage, providing tough, impact resistant durability and reliability.

Anti-Static Treated Cassette Lid
An Anti-Static Treated cassette lid repels dust contaminants and minimizes dropouts. The easy write cassette label is already affixed to the cassette housing, so writing titles directly on the cassette label is quicker and easier.

2-Way Opening Soft Case Increases Tape Protection
The cassette case is molded from a soft resin that won’t break, even if dropped. The 2-way lid construction lets you easily extract the tape with one hand, even while shooting.
