Not only is the DVCPRO the world’s smallest digital videocassette for broadcasting—it also offers superior image quality across a wide range of applications such as ENG/EFP, Editing & Transmission. Maxell developed DVCPRO videocassettes using exclusive tape technologies aimed at professional broadcasting applications to enhance the high reliability and durability of these products. 

Low Error Rate
Maxell developed 0.1µm new Ceramic Armor Metal Particles to achieve even higher magnetic energy, and employed a new calendering technology to optimize tape surface smoothness. The result: Improved short wavelength output, decreased noise, and minimized spacing loss with the head. 

Superior Reliability:
Uniformly dispersed fillers within the tape formulation clean debris from the heads and minimize the head abrasion by reducing friction between the head and tape during the high speed rotations cleaning debris from the head. Maxell’s special binder system ensures long-term durability when the tape is used in extreme ENG/EFP environments and demanding editing and playback modes such as still frame and shuttle. 

Professional Features: The large shell window design allows for a clear vision of remaining tape and winding conditions. To ensure a low error rate, the videocassette shell and cover feature a static-resistant resin that prevents the attraction of dust and foreign particles that may cause dropouts.

Low Tape Shrinkage:
Long-term storage and high-temperature conditions can result in tape shrinkage affecting track shift. DVCPRO has an extremely narrow 18µm track width. Slight tape deformation can cause a track shift affecting subsequent playback and editing conditions. Maxell has established a production process technology minimizing the tape shrinkage factor, producing a tape with superior heat-shrinkage resistance qualities. Even after long-term storage, head tracing of the track is accurately maintained.
