BCT-D videocassettes bring out the full potential of Digital Betacam for 1/2" digital ENG/EFP, post production and transmission. BCT-D represents a new stage of metal videocaseette tape in terms of (1)high output,(2)high durability, and(3)long-term compatibility.
・ Sony's new binder and new calendering system make possible +2dB higher output compared to Betacam SP tape. ・ New lubricant developed for high durability. ・ Advanced narrow tracking technology and low-shrinkage tape technology promote compatibility between tapes and hardware for smooth editing and post-archival playback. ・ An anti-static cassette lid prevents dust attraction.

Sony's metal videotape technology and comprehensive quality control take Betacam SP performance to new heights. BCT-MA offers high C/N, low headwear, reduced dropouts and outstanding durability, making it ideal for ENG, post-production and other broadcast applications, including TV transmission.
・ New strengthened binder gives metal tape greater durability under the stress of repeated use -- important for cart machines and repeated editing. ・ Dropouts are prevented by the stronger binder , sophisticated new quality control and the anti-static lid. ・ Alumina-silica metal particle coating keeps retentivity and coercivity high after years of storage. ・ Newly applied lubricants extend head life, and controlled surface roughness minimizes modulation noise for a higher C/N ratio.
