D1
Improved magnetic characteristics for high output
Thanks to Sony's Hi-packing technology and powerful magnetic particles, retentivity is now 25% higher and coercivity is 5% higher than the previous D-1 tape. This helps raise RF output by 2dB to achieve excellent high data integrity.
Low rubbing noise
With the D-1 magnetic layer's high output characteristics and optimized tape surface design, rubbing noise has been reduced. In low humidity environments especially, this suppression of rubbing noise has also successfully improved error rate. A superb backcoating further improves tape stability to maintain low friction after repeated high-speed passes while editing.
New reel improves tape winding
The D-1 reels have been designed with specially molded radial grooves. They not only protect against air being trapped between tape layers during FFW and REW operations, but have also reduced tape damage caused by uneven tape winding.
