DVCPRO tape incorporates newly developed ultrafine, high-energy metal magnetic particles that are smaller than the particles in conventional tape. These particles not only make a thinner magnetic layer possible, they also boast superb magnetic characteristics thanks to Panasonic's original "slanted deposition" technology, which embeds the particles directly into the tape in an extremely dense formation. The result is magnetic energy output that's over 200 percent higher and C/N characteristics that are 8 dB higher than with conventional tape.

This high-performance tape supports DVCPRO's high-density digital recording, which delivers exceptional picture and sound quality.

The surface of DVCPRO tape features Panasonic's ultra-flat base film and advanced calendering techniques, which eliminate space loss and micro-dropouts. Its structure also prevents the permeation of oxide substances. A lubricant is applied to the tape surface, helping ensure trouble-free newsgathering even in bitter cold and other extreme conditions.

These features give DVCPRO tape an extremely smooth surface, outstanding durability, long shelf life, and stable tape transportability. This ultra-thin tape is also excellent for high-speed searching.
