Betacam SP never looked so good
Acclaimed and respected throughout the industry, Fujifilm M321SP videocassettes are the Betacam SP tape-of-choice for thousands of video professionals around the world. Superior Fujifilm metal tape technology and Super-Fine Metallix metal magnetic particles team up to ensure that you get superb Betacam SP video and audio quality for recording, editing and playback.
Super-Fine Metallix Particles
Exclusive Fujifilm Super-Fine Metallix metal magnetic particles are formulated to match the high carrier signal frequencies of Betacam SP, and are given an oxidation-resistant surface treatment to ensure long, reliable service. Durable, four-layer construction and advanced calendering technology boost tape transport stability and provide a mirror-smooth finish for excellent tape-to-head contact and minimal head wear.
