Betacam SP 1/2" video cassette with 30 minutes or recording time, supplied in an album case. A strengthened binder gives metal tape greater durability under the stress of repeated use---important for cart machines and repeated editing. Alumina-silica metal particle coating keeps retentivity and coercivity high after years of storage. Dropouts are prevented by the stronger binder, sophisticated quality control and anti-static lid. Specially designed lubricants extend head life, and controlled surface roughness minimizes modulation noise for a higher S/N ratio.
