Sony BCT-30MA, Betacam SP Tape, Small Shell

Sony's Emmy award-winning metal videotape technology and comprehensive quality control take Betacam SP performance to new heights. Betacam SP tape (BCT-MA series) offers high C/N, low head-wear, reduced dropouts and outstanding durability, making it ideal for ENG, post-production and other broadcast applications, including TV transmission.

Highlights:

A 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 quality control and an anti-static lid.
Alumina-silica metal particle coating keeps retentivity and coercivity high after years of storage.
Specially designed lubricants extend head life, and controlled surface roughness minimizes modulation noise for a higher C/N ratio.
