DVCAM media expands its features for high definition (HD) recording, including the support for Professional HDV recording in the traditional DVCAM tapes. The DVCAM/HDV products offer the required capacities to record both, the standard definition DVCAM format, and the high definition HDV format in the same tape. Due to its high error rate margin, high durability and high tolerance, the DVCAM/HDV tapes are the best choice for professional HDV applications.

- DVCAM standard definition recording
- HDV high definition recording
- Hyper Evaticle IV (HPE IV) magnetic layer technology for enhanced RF output and high error rate margin
- Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) protective layer technology to reduce the risk of tape clog in various environment conditions
