TDK announced that it has begun shipping Pro Grade DVC camcorder media for HDV and DV camcorders.

Dual Layer Metal Evaporation (DLME) and Hard Carbon Protective Layer (HCPL) technologies help make TDK Pro Grade DVC media the failsafe solution for capturing footage with an HDV or DV camcorder. The tape's base layer provides an uniform and stable foundation for the metal evaporated recording layer, thus realizing far fewer dropouts than other DVC media. Meanwhile, the Hard Carbon Protective Layer (HCPL) defends against scratches, friction, de-oxidation and temperature/humidity. TDK's premium cartridge design offers durability and realizes an ultra-stable tape run, which further helps ensure bit-perfect recording and playback. What's more, TDK Pro Grade DVC offers universal compatibility with HDV and DV camcorders.

TDK Pro Grade DVC offers 63-minute length and is ideally suited for capturing footage in superb quality HD resolutions such as 1080i and 720p. Supplied in library cases that securely close, sealing out potential contaminants such as dust and liquids, TDK Pro Grade DVC comes fully equipped for shelf archival.

TDK Pro Grade DVC media for HDV and DV camcorders is currently available.
