Maxell’s BETACAM SP is used worldwide in broadcasting and for ENG/EFP applications. The compact cassette utilizes 1/2 inch metal tape and is designed to tackle any task using Maxell’s Ceramic Armor Metal particle technology to produce phenomenal picture clarity and high reliability.  Exceptional Durability: Maxell’s BETACAM SP videocassette tape features a cross-linking high performance binder system. This system combined with the Ceramic Armor Metal particles technology, with its extremely thin ceramic layers, enhances the physical characteristics and corrosion resistance of the tape. Thanks to these new technological advances, the tape offers excellent reliability and durability even under the harshest of electronic editing conditions. Outstanding Image and Audio Fidelity: As the BETACAM system is used mainly for source recording prior to editing, superior video and audio quality becomes essential. Maxell BETACAM SP products demonstrate high output characteristics over a wide range of frequencies, assuming high-fidelity audio and video performance that makes the tape perfect for master tape applications. Significantly Reduced Dropout: Maxell’s meticulous contamination free production system plus its exceptional quality control work together to reduce dropouts to the absolute minimum. In addition, a conductive backcoating and an anti-static cassette shell are used to repel dust and debris while helping suppress the dropout ratio.
