Panasonic High Density New MQ Technology

With the employment of Panasonic’s proprietary AME

technology, the new tape achieves a super high magnetic

particle density.

Higher output level

(+1 dB Higher than Conventional DV Tape)Less dropoutsLow error rate

Original Hybrid Lubricant

Panasonic’s hybrid lubricant technology employs an optimal

blend of different characteristics to ensure high reliability and

durability.

Minimized head clogging

Lower tape-to-head friction ratio (longer head life) andstable tape transportEnhanced durability for high speed shuttling, still-frameplayback and professional editing
