Professional disc PD711
A Proven Reputation for Quality and Reliability
As the developer of Japan's first broadcast-use video tape in 1959, Fujifilm has long been a leader in the production of high-performance, high-reliability recording media for the broadcast industry. We've continued to innovate ever since, and in 1990 we received an Emmy Engineering Award for the significant contribution our advanced metal tape technology has made to the broadcast industry. Now, with the introduction of PD711 Professional Discs, we've brought the same high level of Fujifilm quality and reliability to a new generation of recording media for Sony professional XDCAM systems.
Excellent Performance with a Wide Range of Hardware
Fujifilm PD711 Professional Discs have a broad recording power margin that ensures excellent performance and compatibility not only with Sony XDCAM systems, but also with a wide range of other hardware devices and NLE systems.
Outstanding Durability Under Heavy Professional Use
High-quality materials and advanced production technologies assure outstanding disc durability and rewriting stability, with ultra-low error rates even after 10,000 overwrites.
Superior Dust- and Scratch-Resistance
Advanced hard-coating technologies protect sensitive high-density recordings from scratches and dust that can degrade performance, ensuring maximum durability under the rigors of professional use.

Precision-Engineered Cartridges
In materials and construction, Fujifilm PD711 cartridges are engineered to the highest standard of precision, and the shutter and bottom half of the cartridge shell are treated with an anti-static coating to protect discs from dust and other airborne contaminants.
Superior Long-Term Storage Characteristics
In accelerated aging tests, Fujifilm PD711 Professional Discs have demonstrated excellent data integrity and a potential archival storage life of over 50 years.
